I am getting bored and burned out of doing the same workouts for 9 months now. Does anyone have any suggestions for good workout dvds that I can do?

    My husband got me Zumba for the PS3. Super fun! My older sister has been doing it a gym for a while, and she is never bored with it.

    I love all things Jillian Michaels, Boost Metabolism Burn Fat, No More Trouble Zones, I am currently doing 6week 6pack and love it! I also have cardio max (Biggest Loser Workout) it is good, but gets a little easy.

    Do you have cable, with On Demand? We have Comcast and in On Demand, under Sports & Fitness, there is an Exercise TV channel. All the programs there (at least all the ones I looked at) are free. Some are 10 minute workouts, some are longer. All different workouts, all different levels. I find it's a great way to try new things, with out having to buy something.

    First try to narrow down what you are looking for - in inexpensive ways. Library, thrift store, Netflix, Comcast On Demand, Exercise TV.com, Discovery Fit and Health Channels. This will keep you from spending a fortune of videos that you hate. I made this mistake.

    My tastes are simple or no choreography cardio (I cannot dance!) - I like Chris Freytag & Leslie Sansone. If you like dance - Zumba is really popular.

    For strength I like Kelly Coffey Meyer. She's encouraging without being hyper. She has a series called 30 Minutes to Fitness (bootcamp, kickboxing, weights, etc). These are nice - each DVD has 2 - 30 minutes workouts & lots of premixes ..... keeps the workout fresh.

    The key, for me anyway, is to have several videos that I look forward to doing. If I have to force myself to do a DVD - I get rid of it.

    I'd invest in kinect for xbox...it's really good. but i do agree with bmontgomery, if you join a gym, your children can go to the play place, and you can sweat your *kitten* off upstairs...that's what I do lol

    I have Netflix, Zumba, P90X, Insanity, and 30 Day Shred...

    I have done these so much. I don't want to spend money on a gym membership that I could spend on my son. I just want something to put the motivation back in my body!

    Netflix has tons of DVDs (for mail option) there's got to be something.
    Unfortunatley - Netflix has very few new workouts and even fewer instant workouts.

    Instructors I like: Kelly Coffey Meyer, Jessica Smith, Amy Bento. Do you have an aerobic step? - Christi Taylor is a lot of fun.
    Have you tried Yoga Booty Ballet?
