Hello... need a little guidance... been going to the gym, but I think I need to switch up my workout... looking for some great DVD workouts. I am getting a little bored withthe gym. I took a peak at P90X... i think that is a little too intense for me. I am looking for something that I can still switch up with the gym. Something a little more flexible schedule wise. I know with a lot of programs such as P90X, you have to do them for days straight... any suggestions? I need all the help I can get.. thanks!!!

    I started with Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. I liked it. The Zumba DVDs are pretty good too. I used them as supplemental disks to my running and biking. As long as you're staying active those will probably work great. I'm sure there are more out there that others might suggest also.

    Zumba looks like a great workout and fun, but I haven't tried it yet. You can also look into Billy's bootcamp for a great burn. The firm is hard to follow, but a great workout there too!

    There are some good workouts on youtube.....also I recently went to Tuesday Morning and purchased a fitness ball (the big ball), workout bands, and a few other items, they came with workout dvd's, nice to change it up, I too get bored easily.

    I agree with the other Jillian Michaels' fans out there, and Zumba is actually kind of fun, so I don't dread doing it. I think Jillian's DVDs are hard--but well worth it when you start to see results (which doesn't take very long). I hope you find some you like :smile:

    Here's something a little out of the ordinary... Belly Dance DVD's. I have one, and it works muscles that hide from most everything you can do in the gym. kinda fun too. :happy:

    Agree with 30 day shred suggestion! Also like the Burn Fat Boost Metabolism (it's longer but you can also choose one circuit at a time so you can customize it). I have Jackie Warner's one on one, it has an upper body, a lower body and a core, each 20 minutes. I like the exercises, but not too keen on the DVD itself (I think becuase her trainers/helpers each do about 5 mintues and she doesn't do much of it at all, I want to SEE somebody do the whole routine with me, LOL, but that's just me). Billy Banks Tae Bo Cardio is good and for more of a challenge the Tae Bo Ultimate challenge is great. Also if you have netflix, you can browse around for some on there. That's where I got the Jackie Warner one! Good luck!!

    I've been dying to try the Jillian Michaels DVD's. Are they good for beginners?

    Just did day 30 of the shred and I agree it's great! Level 1 used to kill me, but I got to level 3, so my fitness must have improved!
