I have one more day of the 30 Day Shred to go, I have a love hate relationship with that workout. I love it because it's only 20mintues, I hate it because it's so freaking boring to me. I was looking for another workout that was somewhat similar but not as boring. I can't dance so zumba workouts are out. I was really looking into purchasing a treadmill because i like the fact that I'm doing one move but I know that won't be as effective. I was thinking taebo but since I do my workouts in the morning I might end up waking the whole house. There's so many workout plans out here, I just want something short,fun and effective. Help please

    I highly recommend ChaLean Extreme. It's a 5 day a week program - 3 days strength and 2 days cardio. I love it. :)

    Try looking up ZWOW on youtube or Fitness Blender.

    Short, high intensity circuit workouts much like 30 Days Shred. And free.

    Ripped in 30 - same format as 30 Day Shred (3mins strength, 2mins cardio, 1min abs and three circuits) but you only workout 5-6 days a week and you change levels every week.

    Jillian Michaels 90 Day Body Revolution... Four strength days a week and switch it up every two weeks.

    I find Bob Harper's circuit training DVD's to be much less boring because he mixes up the moves all the time (and the music is MUCH easier to listen to than the cheesy stuff that Jillian plays on the 30ds)! I would recommend Bob's Total Body Transformation (they have a one hour or 30 minute option on the DVD, and it combines strength training and cardio just like 30ds but at a much higher intensity), or his Pure Burn Super Strength DVD. I also mix it up here and there with Bob's Yoga for the Warrior, which is a seriously good workout and a GREAT stretch for your muscles that I like to do once a week.

    I did Ripped in 30 after 30DS as well and I liked it a LOT better than I had 30DS. lol I think it's a great follow-up to 30DS. After I finished that, I did Jillian's Kickbox FastFix, 6 Week 6 Pack and am now doing Killer Abs. One of the main reasons I've stuck with the Jillian workouts is because they're short, and also because they obviously WORK. But the short length keeps it so that I know I can fit it is. :smile: Also, there are 4 levels to Ripped in 30, so there's a little more variety, but if you don't think that's up your alley, try Jillian's Kickbox FastFix. It's a fun, fast-paced cardio workout that I still enjoy throwing in the mix here and there.

    Not a video guide as such, though.

    Bump! Thanks for the suggestions. I'm on Day 2 of Level 3 right now and will be wanting something else after I'm finally done, assuming Jillian doesn't kill me first. :)
