    I really love P90X, but if you don't want to buy weights or bands, then I would recommend Insanity. It will help you with those trouble spots. :)

    I've not tried it, but I've head great things about Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.

    I have Bellydance Fitness for Beginners - Slim Down with Veena & Neena and it works my stomach and hips like you would not believe.

    I use Davina Mccalls DVD's. She's a tv presenter from over here (England) the best so far is Davina Fit (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002KSA4HE/ref=asc_df_B002KSA4HE1739131?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B002KSA4HE)
    She also has a new one coming out. They're really good as they cover cardio and toning!
    I'm also going to give Zumba a go as they're meant to be good too!

    If you have a Kinect both the Jillian Michaels and the Zumba are brilliant!

    You can also get fitness DVD's on Netflix (I just figured this out today).

    Check out bodyrock.tv. Zuzana is awesome, her workouts are short, and totally free. She updates the workouts or exercise challenges nearly daily, and there's a ton of old workouts in the archives to choose from. Most of the workouts only involve bodyweight or some very basic equipment. She kicks butt, and ever since I got turned on to her over last summer, I have done little else.

    30 Day Shred if you are on a budget. Turbo Fire if you want an "Insanity" kind of program but don't feel like you are ready for Insanity.

    After 8 months at the gym doing 6 days @ 2 hrs a pop, I have to say that P90X is by far the best workout (in or out of the gym) I've done.
    It's so good I finally canceled my gym membership today after doing this for the last 76 days. It's a complete body workout with different workouts every day for 6 days. After 4 weeks it changes again. I get bored easy so the 30 day shred (which is GREAT) didn't keep me going. Hope that helps.

    I swear by Slim Series. It's the follow-up to Slim in 6, which you may have heard of, but it's WAY better. It helps if you've done SI6 first, but I don't think it's mandatory. I really, really love it, and this is coming from someone who has done three rounds of P90X.

    I really like the EA active sports for Wii, more fun than the Biggest Loser for Kinect. P90 comes up in this community a lot. I'd like to think I workout pretty good, and my hubby wanted to try it, but this intimidates me! Is there a beginner for P90?

    just p90 is the beginner set has a really basic dvd and than a little hard one P90X is the really hard intense set. should be fit to start this program not for beginners.. but the P90 program is great place to start and see if you like Tony's ideas and methods

    30 Day Shred is definitely the best work out vid I've ever used...in 20 minutes, she trains you harder than any of my personal trainers have ever done...

    If you have Netflix, I really like the Self: series of DVDs.

    Also, if you have Netflix and either a Wii or an Xbox you can use the "instant queue" function and watch it through your TV - that way you have it to use all the time, can try out a bunch of different ones without having to wait for them to come in the mail.

    If your cable has On Demand there are tons of workouts on there - go to starter on demand.

    Yup, it's actually called Power 90. There's also a Power 90 Master Series which is an intermediate step to P90X.

    I prefer Jackie Warners DVDs over Jillian's because I think you have more time to do the correct form and so I'm always sore the next day. Plus, I just find her to be a more pleasant person, but I use Jillians workouts too. 30 day shread is good and I'm currently doing 6 pack abs in 6 weeks. It's a nice workout and it does make your core sore. Also if you have a wii the just dance games are awesome they are so fun and I burn about the same amount of calories dancing for 30 minutes as I do during the 30 day shread dvd.

    Obviously P90X is a favorite, but I also love step aerobics and Tae Bo. Step with Cathe Friedrich which is on cable and Amy Bento. They do both step and weights. Great fun and sweat.
