    Nerdfitness.com is great as someone mentioned.
    Lovingfit.com is amazing! I love Tati. Unlike some other body weight exercise sites she is really good at balancing exercises between body parts, and making sure you don't overwork an area.
    angrytrainerfitness.com has exercises, and is a really good resource all around. I learn so much from Alfonso.
    Gilad is also good. My mom used to do his tapes all the time when I was little. She has a bit of a crush and says the best thing is even though she's older when she watches Gilad is still the same age. :laugh:

    I have a kettlebell that I use. I just do plain old kettlebell swings, about 15 minutes worth and that is more than enough to kick my *kitten*.

    Mostly I prefer exercising outside. Luckily I live in a part of the world where outdoor activities are feasible all year long.

    Supreme90Day - similar to P90X. Picked it up on clearance at Target for $10 (usually $20). Main exercise other than cycling and I dropped 30 lbs in a matter of months after starting it.

    I workout to mostly Jillian Michaels DVDs especially her Body Revolution program (if you can afford this program I would highly recommend it to you). I also workout to Jari Love's DVDs and Tae Bo.

    I use videos on youtube and I have a pull up attachment for my doorframe and I do press ups, sit ups, burpees, that type of thing if I cannot get to the gym. Otherwise you can start running, fast walking or cycling if you have a bike for cardio.

    30 day shred, tae-bo, zumba wii games, my fitness coach (dance) on the wii, Just Dance games, Nike training club (I have the app on my iphone - not sure if it's available elsewhere too). I switch between them.

    The new Zumba Core game for wii is my new obsession. Love the 1 hour length classes, as well as Just Dance 4, I find them both really good for days when I dont wanna do something super strenuous or go to the gym, they make u break a sweat and have fun at the same time! If I want something a little more challenging I'll do p90x vids. I dont really follow a program and just do what I feel like most days

    I have comcast On demand. They have tons of different workouts on there. I like the dance and the walking ones the most. All I have had to buy so far is 3lbs hand weights. I also own a total gym that I do some ab work on. I don't go to a gym at all because the nearest one to me is about 15 mins away and I am not spending up all the gas to get there.

    I use a combination of a Jessica Smith DVD (there's a 22 minute cardio section that really burns (:<), treadmill/jogging outside depending on the season, and my own weight lifting and kickboxing drills with dumbbells and ankle weights. 3 or 4 days a week I go to a 45 minute MRT/MCT class where I do heavier weight lifting, since they have better equipment and barbells.

    Thank you so much everyone for your replies, seriously did not expect such a helpful response...so grateful, lots of sites and dvd references to keep me going :D.
    Dave198lbs - well definitely check out more nerdfitness.com someone put me onto the beginner bodyweight routine on there heard a lot of good reviews on it.
    Getphit09 - lots of dvds mentioned there, thanks a lot.
    Karint74 - great advice, heard keeping the body guessing is so beneficial regarding metabolism and everything aswell.
    Islandsteph – thanks for your advice haven’t heard of gilads quick fit system but may look into it for the future.
    Fittreelol – thanks for all those sites will definitely check them out.
    Annette_15 – funny I was just about to ask if anyone had tried this as I’m thinking of ordering it, actually think I will.
    Just looking for some ideas off others..I enjoy working out at home as I actually find I get more done and more often than going the gym, i'm a college student so working out in my apart often suits my routine better

    just wondering what dvds out there people use for a healthy cardio/strength routine

    Was thinking of starting julian michaels but its just a 30 day and i'd rather use one thats a bit more balanced, i'm afraid with julian michaels ill put any weight i loose back on again after the 3o days...

    Also really looking to work my upper tummer which seems to be holding on to fat :(..advice appreciated :)

    Trust me you will not put the weight back on after doing 30 Day Shred!! For one, you'll love the results so much you'll want to do another Jillian DVD or do the 30 DS again!! I did 30 DS, Ripped In 30, and I'm doing 6 Week 6 Pack now. After this I'll probably do another one!! The results are fantastic.

    As for me, I've never belonged to a gym. I have a free weights at home and run outside. I've been the same weight since high school!! My secret? It's not working out....it's clean eating. No amount of working out will make up for a bad diet. Focus on that first, because if you don't get that right you'll be spinning your wheels.

    Very useful info, guess clean eating does stand for a lot of it no point exercising and filing my diet up with bad food, have been getting better at getting my macros in lately though.
    Going to try Jullian's workouts anyway, worth a shot.:)

    Thanks so much everyone for your advice.

    Anyone else any experience with the Zumba Core fitness for Wii....ordering this :)
