I've been using TurboJam for cardio, and the Firm (Transfirmer) for strength training. I just want to try something new so I don't get bored with the workouts I have now. Which ones do you really like?

    I have a couple of the Jillian Michaels video - "blast fat, boost metabolism" and the "30 day shred". I also love her yoga video. I also do Jackie Warner's videos - the total body circuit training one for when I want to use weights and a great ab video.

    if you like turbojam... upgrade to turbofire!!! Its AWESOME! I started out as a turbojammer and have had my turbofire for about 2 years now and still use it all the time! love, love it!
    I'm also really excited to be adding insanity to my workout collection. It burns MAX calories!!! high intensity!

    I've been doing Insanity, 30 Day Shred and just started Bob Harper's Total body sculptured Kettlebell workout.

    Recommend them all.

    Last week I was looking for a visual reference on how to do a particular kettlebell exercise, so I looked it up on YouTube....I had NO idea how many full length workouts were on there! There are some of Jillian Michaels' on there, yoga, kettlebell workouts. Its my new go-to when I want to try something new that I don't have at home.

    I'm in week 3 of Insanity which I am loving (I completed it last year as well). Next I will be doing Les Mills Body Combat, and after that I'm not sure yet...maybe Insanity Asylum. I love the variety because I get bored if I do one thing for too long...which is why I couldn't keep myself focused on P90X I think. I do go to the gym 2-3 days a week for additional strength trianing and weight lifting as well.

    I've got a bunch but most are dusty - I'm working on changing that. I just started doing DVD's again.

    I have several Callenetics and I'm trying to do 4 hours a week
    Leslie Sansone - walks - I'll try to use them on yukky days or to finish a walking challenge I just started here on MFP
    Several yoga and Pilates. I prefer the WIndsor Pilates ones - perhaps because I know them better

    Shaun T's Rockin' Body! I LOVE it! I've also been wanting 30DS, I've seen others with great results from that.

    I started with 30 DS then I moved on to Burn fat boost metabolism and No more trouble zones. I am currently doing turbo fire and it is my favorite. The calorie burn is ridiculous, and it is actually fun.

    I like pretty much everything the Firm has put out. I have many of those dvds so I never get bored with them. I also have a Bar Method dvd that's great.

    I have found several Youtube channels for workouts that are also awesome. Namely, Blogilates. her workouts are so fun!

    I am admittedly a Fitness DVD junkie. Back when I started on my journey, I was a FT working Mom of 4 with a deployed spouse.. going to the gym was close to impossible.

    I have everything from Jillian Michaels to TaeBo to Les Mills Combat and Pump and they have all been great for different periods in my journey!

    Jillian Michaels - No More Trouble Zones still kills me!
    Les Mills - Combat - leaves me nice and sweaty!
    Les Mills - Pump - very flexible b/c you can add weight as you get stronger! -

    I don't know what cable provider you have...but I do kickboxing with Jill Coleman...it's on demand w/ Comcast/Xfinity. It kicks butt & I feel a big difference after just a couple of workouts.

    I need to do more stuff with weights but I'm going to be moving soon so why pay for a gym membership

    I have Comcast, I never thought about looking into the On Demand for workouts, thanks for the tip!

    I started with slim in 6. I still try and do it once a week because it's a good full body workout.

    I used the 'walking away the pounds' videos a few times as well. I have the 30 day shred but only did it once and my knees were sorry later. I have turbo fire, but it's a bit too fast paced for me and I haven't got into it yet. I'm seriously considering buying Les Mills pump at this point, as the gym doesn't have a very good schedule for them.
