P90X! P90X! P90X! I freaking love it and got great results. I also have insanity but IMO p90x is WAY better and you can tailor the program to meet your needs/goals. And p90x has minimal equipment needed. People who haven't done it say you have to have lots of equipment but you really don't. Only weights and a pull up bar OR resistance bands0

30 Day Shred.
Had to turn off the volume after a while, though... and put on my own music.0 -
Here's a great resource for at-home workout DVDs, with categories, search parameters, preview clips, and staff and customer reviews: http://www.collagevideo.com/
I *love* workout DVDs--I have about 30 of them. I mix them in with my walking and biking even when the weather is perfect.0 -
I just joined gaiamtv.com a couple of weeks. They had a Free Trial offer. I love it. I've been doing the same Yoga workouts for 7 years now so I'm like a kid in the candy store trying something new every day.My favorites are Jillian Michaels workouts but there are some really good Firm and Winsor Pilates too. I think it's 8 bucks a month or something like that. Well worth IMHO. I created a PlayList and I plug my iPhone into the TV and voila... home workout studio!!!0

BEACHBODY!!! oh my goodness. I'm starting slim in 6 hoping to work my way into turbofire and insanity! hit me up if you want some links to stuff... sometimes I watch the infomercials for fun... if I spent as much time watching infomercials as I do working out, i'd be a rail!0

I have to agree P90X was an awesome workout. Very intense and you definately get results, I did this more for my husband because he needed a more manly DVD that didn't involve dancing. I am currently doing Brazil Butt Lift which is not as intense but it definately seems to be working.0

My fave and only one I have ever used is Callanetics (the original version)0
-
Turbo Jam with Charlene Johnson Rocks !0
-
I love Power 90 and The Biggest Loser workouts!0

Agreed. I love this site. I especially love old school "The Firm" workouts.0 -
TapOut XT is awesome.0

I'm one of those people that is easily annoyed by fitness instructors. I'm doing INSANITY right now and I think it's fantastic. I plan to do p90x next. I have 30DS and I found it dull and not all that challenging.0

ALL the Jillian Michaels DVDs are excellent!!! Best for beginners is her 30 Day Shred. For more experienced, Extreme Shed & Shred. Banish Fat Boost Metabolism is also fabulous, around a 650 calorie burn for me in an hour!0

I'm a huge advocate for no-equipment-needed, at-home workouts. These are my go-to workouts:
Billy Blanks Tae Bo Basics
The Spartacus Workout (http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/high-intensity-circuit-routine/index.php)0 -
I have been doing the Leslie Sansone walk at home DVD's. I just bought the latest one and have lost 3 lbs. since starting it. They are very easy to follow and you can do it in your livingroom.0
-
Kathy Smith's Kickboxing Workout and Lift Weights to Lose Weight. I know she's from the 90s but I like her because she reminds me of my best friend whom I've not seen in a long time. And her workouts are pretty challenging and they do work. I lost over 90 lbs ten years ago doing her step aerobic workouts and weight lifting.0

anything jillian! I do boost your metobilsm, no more trouble zones, her kettle bell dvd, 30 day shred. I pretty much have all of them and switch it up when I am bored. I also do pilateswith lizbeth garcia!0
-
I absolutely love all Jillian Michaels DVD's. I just got her 90 day Body Revolution and I hope that it gives me some great results. :happy:0
-
Turbo Jam and 30 Day Shred (good place to start for at-home beginners)
Turbo Fire
TapouT XT (just started, omg insane!)
I have Insanity, but I don't think I'll try it simply because of my knee and there looks like better options IMO...
Take a look at some of the previews on youtube first and then try and find them cheap on ebay!0 -
Sandbag training. Ultimatesandbagtraining.com sells the kits. Also, suspension training. For cardio I have an Australian Shepherd, an agility ladder, and a jump rope.
EDIT: I think that rather than investing ni DVDs you should invest in some quality home fitness tools such as the sandbag kit or suspension trainer I mentioned above. Youtube tells you all you need to know about how to do workouts with them. And the results they give are awesome.0 -
I love Jillian Michael's Body Revolution. I need suggestions on what to do next so this thread is helpful.0
-
good question. I am also interested. I will be looking for something with a calorie burn similiar to month 2 of insanity.0
-
Check out your local library for workout dvds. Also check out Be Fit in 90 on You Tube, I call it the "poor wo(man)'s" P90X.
Can not say enough about Jillian Michaels workouts, I have Extreme Shed & Shred, Shred with Weights, Yoga Meltdown, Burn Fat/Boost Metabolism and Ripped in 30. Right now I'm trying Be Fit, and I just ordered Turbo Fire (should have by Friday). Try a variety so you don't get bored.0 -

Thanks for the links everybody. I wish I would have known some of these things were out there before I spent so much money on a gym membership that I don't get much use out of. I'm going to sign up for the free trial at gaiamtv.com and then maybe get a membership. $10/mo is a lot better than $45/mo at the gym. Too bad I can't stop my gym membership for another 9 months.0
-
In this order; P90X2, P90X, Chalean Extreme and Insanity.0
-
I have just had a look at Collage Video and it looks great, is there a UK alternative? I will be contacting Collage to find out if they ship overseas because they have some DVD's that I would love to get my hands on!0

I LOVE Bob Harper's DVDS. I think they are better than Jillian Michaels!0
