Looking for something different to do first thing in the morning (I do lots and lots of Zumba in the evenings, so wanted to incorporate more strength training during a short morning workout - 30 mins or so).

I hit up Exercise on Demand this morning and hated the first 3 workouts I went to. One jumped right in with NO warm up and the other two consisted of extremely perky faces ... just not my style first thing in the morning.

I know I sound ridiculous ... but I'm sure I'm not the only non-morning person out there! :-) What DVDs do you do in the morning that get your blood pumping?

    30 Day shred is a great workout. My hubs the marathon runner is doing it with me and he thinks it's tough too, so I don't feel so bad!
    It takes about 20 min and the time goes by so fast!

    If I do a workout in the morning its usually pilates... Im just not a morning person. Not that pilates is easy, but I just like the stretched out feeling I get from it right away in the morning :)

    Jackie Warner has some good strength training DVD's. Her Power Express is 30 minutes and a full body circuit. Her DVD's are pretty cheap too, I got mine for $10 at Walmart. She has some stuff On Demand right now too.

    Jillian Michael's 30 day shred is a good morning workout that combines cardio and strength and abs and is under 30 minutes. Leaves me feeling energized and motivated for the day. I am not a big fan of her, however, once i got the workout down, I just turned up my music and worked out!

    Thanks for the suggestions! I was leaning towards Jillian because ... well ... she doesn't seem like a morning person either!

    I actually own 30 Day Shred, so I guess I'll break down and try it. I can stand anything for 20 minutes, right???

    I also do 30 day shred in the mornings as it's so quick and easy - it actually takes around 25 mins though not 20 and I usually do a bit of my own warm up to start as I don't really think she does enough - but for 30 mins total it's a really worthwhile workout.
