    Personally, I was almost sucked into the beachbody craze. It's absolutely ridiculously expensive first of all, and I found better sets on amazon and shakes plus supplements for under 50.00. I am very happy with them and I still can pay my light bill each month.

    i second (or third) 30 day shred. i started my weight loss journey with that, and while it wasn't easy, it was short. i thought i was going to die the first day, i WANTED to die the second day, but within a week, i had moved on to the second level, and a few days after that, the third. once the 30 days were done, i needed something more, so i tried her No More Trouble Zones workout, and it was perfect. it's about twice as long, but if you feel like you need to push yourself a little more some days, i recommend it.

    Leslie Sansone has some great one mile videos and segments with modifications for new exercisers. Love her stuff when I'm not swimming.

    I have Beginner Shred. I bought it for my easy workout days. I have all of her other DVDs and I can tell you that its really really beginner oriented. I don't sweat or breathe heavy at all while doing this.

    Its short, several circuits and can really help get you ready for the harder DVDs she offers. If you find yourself struggling use lighter weights.

    I just bought it at your suggestion! I've been doing 30DS and some day I-just-can't. (like today) so I wanted something to supplement on days when I want to do "something" but not feel destroyed. And this sounds great.

    I have just started back to fitness after a terrible year. I think leslie Sansone is great. There are 1,2, 3 and 5 mile workouts which are brilliant at home. I started a few weeks ago and do the exercises every other day and I've started walking in a rambling club most Sunday's. Fingers crossed I'm on the road to fitness and hopefully a better year. X x

    Leslie Sansome Walk away the Pounds is a great starter DVD :)

    This! Also, JM has a beginner DVD that is fabulous. Not sure if it's the same as "beginner shred", but it says JM for beginners. It's two workouts. One for the frontside and one for the backside. They are longer workouts, but they are tremendously effective at getting your muscles conditioned so that you can move on to more advanced workouts. I am beyond the beginner stage (took me a while after having my first baby), but I still use it with heavier weights to condition myself when I up my weights. My husband is doing it to get his muscles reconditioned too. It's a true Jillian style workout with circuit training. 6 total circuits, 3 reps of each set in each circuit. By far the best conditioning DVD I have ever come across!

    Once you're ready to move up, JM 30 day shred is great!

    I do (and love) FitnessBlender.com workout videos -- they are all free, available through YouTube, and you can do a search on their website for what you are looking for (low impact, HIIT, strength, upper or lower or total, length of time, etc.).

    Try daily burn I really like they're workout routines and they plan an entire month of workouts for you depending on which program you choose. They're really efficient and effective

    Hmmm. I used to Prancercize when I was. 4. Only I called it 'Pretending to be a Pony.". Hilarious. And she is so earnest about it.
