    I do the Walk Away the Pounds series. They have different ones for different fitness levels. They range from 1-5 miles, at least the last one I brought was 5 miles. You can break down the miles too, if you don't have time to do 2-3, etc. miles, just do one. You get a great work out. What I love about those, it's a total body work out whether you buy a dvd that come with a toning band or chord. You burn lots of calories to boot.

    The ones I am using regularly right now are TaeBo Classic and TaeBo Power, Janis Saffel's Strike Zone (Kickboxing), Kelley Coffey-Meyer 30 Minutes to Fitness Split, Circuit Burn and Muscle Definintion, Denise Austin's Sculpt and Burn Body Blitz and a couple of Leslie Sansone's WATP Series: Walk/jog, 3-mile Walk (using 5lb weights) and 5 Really Big Miles.

    Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.

    I tried her Yoga Meltdown this morning and it was all right. I'm used to Cardio so it was a great change of pace.

    You'll find that many people here use Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred (and I'm no exception). I also bust out the original Power 90 (the pre-cursor to P90X) from time to time, and I still love it.

    I have to agree. Youtube is the way to go. I love Jillian Michaels' Banish Fat Boost Metabolism workout on there.

    collagevideo.com and totalfitnessdvds.com are websites that sell exercise videos. You can view clips & read reviews.

    These sites are a great place to do some window shopping before committing. The reviews tell you if any equipment is required, if it's high impact, ect.


    I second Leslie Sansone Walk at Home .... these are low impact aerobics .... the term "walking" refers to no choreography. Easy to just get you moving.

    Kelly Coffey Meyer is wonderfully motivating (I use her for strength training) .... she has a series of DVDs called 30 Minutes to Fitness ..... kickboxing, weights, bootcamp, step aerobics ... anything you're looking for really

    I do Ultimate Sandbag workouts. They have a youtube channel. Once you get the gist of it though you can put together your own pretty easily.

    I do Zumba and Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism dvds. I also do strength training. Like someone else said, Youtube is great place to start. I like the Bodyrocktv channel and Sparkspeople channel.

    Jillian Michael's Body Revolution seems good! I'm on week 2. It's 6 days a week with 3 different workouts per week, so good variety. Every 2 weeks, your workouts change. None of them is more than about 36 minutes.

    Jillians Michaels all the way! I did 30 day shred and lost 10lbs and inches :) I also love her 'No more trouble zones' DVD. I can burn 350 cals in 50 mins and I can definitely see if changing my body shape. Plus, she really motivates me and manages to keep me going when I wanna give up! You can't go wrong with Jillian.

    Tae Bo is also great for toning but I don't find it burns that many cals. Maybe becuase I do his abs and glutes DVD rather than full on boxercise.

    Good luck!

    My absolute favorite is Women's Health- Look Better Naked DVD

    I did it for 2-3 months and looked GREAT.

    Also a great free workout website is
    www.dailyhiit.com

    it's a high intensity interval training workout
