There are also 10 Minute Solutions DVDs.
Much cheaper than Beachbody's 10 Minute Trainer.

30 day shred is good.

I love Fitness Blender because there's a good selection and no set schedule. I can do whatever I want, and often do 2-3 videos at a time. Oh, and it's free. :-)

Thanks for posting

I love, love, love The Firm workout dvd's. I used them for years! I've tried other dvd's but keeping going back to The Firm. http://www.firmdirect.com/firm/ecs/main/index.html

Out of curiosity, why no Beachbody? (not a coach btw, just had good results from Insanity)

I LOVE the Firm workouts!

They have a range of levels from 1-5 and their workouts are free and FRIGGEN AWESOME

I've done some Leslie Sansone DVDs and her workouts are low impact and decent. I'm looking for other options.

Well, I was going to suggest Leslie Sansone, but you've obviously tried that already. But out of curiosity, which of her workouts have you tried. I 've done a bunch of them and I recenlty tried the ones that use the body boost cable and can say they are definiety more intense than many of her other work outs.

They of couse need the cables, but without theym you could probably bumb up the intensity using ankle and hand weights.

I've done P90X and I've done the Biggest Losers series as well as most of Jillian's stuff and Bob Harper's as well. I can suggest a few things that no one else here has mentioned, but are, in their own way, every bit as good or better. It really depends on what you want, what your goals are, and what kind of shape you are in right now. Both, however, will require an open mind.

If you're starting at zero I would strongly recommend DDP Yoga. It takes a lot of flack because it's not actual capitol "Y" Yoga, and because it is lead by a guy who is a former pro wrestler. Honestly though, if you just came into it blind you'd be impressed. No, it isn't actual yoga. He modifies a lot of the asanas ( positions ) for his market. He is probably a bit too careful and protective of people's backs. And yes, god yes, some of the names he comes up with for asanas are horribly hokey. However, he is incredibly encouraging. He has gone out of his way to tailor these workouts in such a way that you decide how hard you push yourself each day. The workouts themselves do a great job of getting your heart rate up. If you can look past the schtick they are a very very solid weight loss tool for a beginner.

If you are looking for something a bit more advanced, I will go on record right now as saying that the absolute best DVD series out there is RushFit in terms of the workouts. I did a full 13 weeks of P90X, took three weeks off, and then started RushFit so I did them both in pretty much the same physical condition. There is no comparison in the quality of the workouts. RushFit is superior across the boards in that regard. So much so that P90X 2 actually mirrors a lot of RushFit. The downside of RushFit is presentation. Whereas P90X has Tony Horton, who is an incredible public speaker, RushFit gives you Erik Owings and GSP. Neither of these guys has what you would call a personality. The presentation is often very dry. And you have the thing that RushFit chose to appeal to the MMA crowd by building their presentation around a lot of fighting analogies. If you can look past that you'll find workouts that are shorter and much more efficient than anything on P90X. I remember starting RushFit and thinking that after P90X this would be a joke. Oh, no no no. Just the opposite. However, like DDP Yoga, Owings has structured these workouts with a lot of workarounds so that even if you aren't in good enough shape for them at first you get there quickly. Plus, I was never once sore after a RushFit workout. I was often sore and beat up after P90X. My wife had the same experience. She did P90X with me and started RushFit about a week after I did. She walked away with the exact same assessment. P90X wins presentation hands down, but RushFit provided superior workouts without the need of fancy equipment.

Powerstrike with Ilaria Montagnani

http://www.amazon.com/Powerstrike/dp/B001NVW4PO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388463748&sr=8-1&keywords=powerstrike

This is the workout that made me really start enjoying working out. It's low impact, can be modified for beginners, and is fun to do. Powerstrike 5 and 6 are equally good, but they are progressively more challenging. I still use all three of them on a regular basis. Can't say enough good things about this series and about the trainer. She's personable and motivating without being fake and annoying.
