in Fitness and Exercise
At the moment I have 30DS, RI30, Killer Buns and Thighs and Extreme shed and shred.

Can't really afford the gym and find it easy to get home and get my exercise done ASAP then it's done!

Any recommendations for workout DVDs? I'm open to all ideas and hoping to get a wide range to mix up my routine!

Thanks guys!

    Yeah all Jillian Michaels ones I find really good. Also Jennifer Ellison's bootcamp one I found pretty tough (in a good way obviously).
    There is also the Insanity DVD which you may have heard of, it's a programme which I think lasts 60 days which I have personally never done but I know many people that have and whilst being incredibly hard everyone I know that's done it has seen amazing results, so may be worth a shot :)

    If you have the ability to watch Youtube while working out, I suggest the FitnessBlender and BeFit channels. They both have a wide variety of videos to ensure that you don't get bored. In addition, I like to create playlists of Zumba videos. I have so much fun dancing that I forget I'm drenched in sweat. A side benefit is, no one is around to witness my utter lack of skills at dancing!

    Have you been creating playlists of zumba videos on youtube? I'd love to incorporate zumba into my routine to mix it up and incorporate some dance moves!

    I've heard really good things about The 4 Week Fitness Foundation (but I think its a precise 4 week meal and exercise plan), it's fairly new as far as I know but it's garnered a lot of supporters

    In my experience most good quality pieces of home gym equipment come with instructional DVDs on how to use them that will allow you to put together workouts far better than any Jillian or Beachbody workout. Case in point is The Rack, or suspension trainers, or Sandbag kits.

    On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ReFitRev?feature=watch
    And their website (where you can order a DVD): http://www.refitrev.com/

    Awesome dance fitness videos. Real women(fit, not super-skinny), dancing to great music, fully clothed! :)

    youtube is great.
    if you are near a library check out exercise dvds there.
    If you want to get a good idea of something before you buy one. Money is tight so why buy something that isn't your cup of tea to speak...check out http://www.collagevideo.com you can click up a 30 to 60 second clips of the dvds

    I love Cathe Friedrich. It was her Gym Style series that got me into lifting weights. She has a large library with many different types of workouts.

    Her website:

    I absolutely love the Walk @ Home DVDs from Leslie Sansone, they are simple to do, but they give you a great workout, especially if you are a beginner like me. There isn't any complicated moves or techniques you have to learn to do before you do it, all you do is walk and the rest they show you how to do. I also love Zumba, my sister-n-law and I take a Zumba class, but they do have DVDs you can do at home, doesn't matter if you can't dance, it's just a lot of fun, and makes you sweat.

    I guess it depends on where you're from but i love Vicky Binn's workout DVD (i'm in the UK) and Natalie Cassidys is quite good too. I have Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and just today got the Insanity DVD so looking forward to starting that one!

    Kelly Coffey-Meyer hands down! You can preview her DVD's on youtube. My favourite is called Split Sessions.

    Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones, Boost Metabolism, Killer Abs and Yoga Meltdown. They're all great workouts by JM.
    Insanity is great, but very challenging

    Lots of DVDs from Beachbody, I personally love Turbo Jam.
    But I've lately moved away from my DVDs and do random workouts on Youtube! There's a lot of variety on there.

    I love JMBR although it really kicks my butt. I recommend it because you rotate through different workouts, so it doesn't get boring as quickly as many routines. I did it last year and am going to explore T25 or 10 Minute Trainer this year. Can't speak for those, though, as I haven't tried them yet.

    I have many DVDs. Jillian Michaels, Natalie Cassidy, Vicky Binns, Davina McCall. I tried Jennifer Ellison's DVD today. Although i don't burn massive amounts of calories, i enjoyed the change up!
