I've looked into things like Insanity & Turbo Fire. I'm unemployed. I dont have 130$ to be spending on these programs... are there any other DVD programs that don't have weights or anything you have to purchase that are as effective and recommended like these programs? Thanks.

    Go to a river, find heavy *kitten* rocks, carry them around. It's free, a great workout, and stone lifting will make you a certifiable badass once you get really good at it.

    Good suggestion, Gallow! But I'm really looking for a 60-day DVD program.

    And hm, never though of YouTube.. but I dont know how I'd be able to do the workout watching my iPhone :(

    Start here:

    Then when that gets easy move to the advanced version. Your own body weight is free. :)

    She has free workouts on her site and YouTube but if you REALLY want DVD's buy hers... $15.95 Totally worth it!

    Go to Walmart Jillian Michaels DVDs are on sale for 9.97 I am doing extreme shed and shred now. No weights needed unless you want to up the workout. It has a level 1 and 2 each 30 mins. I love this my thighs are smaller already..One word of advice start this when you have a day or two to recover..

    It's a 90 day program on youtube and it's free. It does require a pair of dumbbells but they are really cheap at walmart.

    Turbo Fire actually just got reduced to $79.99, but that can still be hefty in cost. Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred or Ripped in 30 would be great and both are under $10.

    My friend said that on the site it was showing it was 80$...but every time I go to the site its still the original cost, I dont get it.

    It really just depends... The were just released so no one has been able to finish the whole 90 days yet.

    If you specifically want to do a DVD program indoors, try your local library. Our library has tons of fitness DVDs you can borrow for a week (plus another week renewal). You can always check them out more than once if you really like them. Also, ask around b/c a lot of people I know swap DVDs with each other (or borrow them). I've also seen exercise DVDs occasionally at places like goodwill shops for very little money. There are also lots of books (I like to browse bookstores, online and at libraries for ideas) to give you ideas on how to set up your own exercise program without DVDs.

    There are a lot of great dvd's out there that are inexpensive. You can look at used media stores, craigslist.org or ebay.com to find even better deals too. Pinterest.com also has a lot of workout ideas if you search.

    Youtube has Jillian Michael's 30-day shred up. And sooo much more (yoga, pilates, Zumba, etc). And it's FREE.

    Craigslist. Exercise equipment and dvds are ridiculously short term for the most part. Everyone looks for the new big thing. Keep an eye on craigslist and other resale sites and you'll find it half price or cheaper.

    Jillian Michael DVD's are pretty cheap or you can find the routines online on youtube.

    Another option is pinterest! You'd be shocked how many different exercise sites are posted to the Health & Fitness section.
