    I've done Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire. I love them both. Lost 30 lbs with Turbo Jam. And and on my way to lose my next 30 with Turbo Fire. If you like to dance, these programs are for you.

    I recently finished Jillian's 30 Day Shred. It's quick at only 25 minutes a day, but I can't say easy! lol. If you want to see my results, go look at my blog. There are pictures along with before and after stats. And one of the best parts? You can get it for around 10 bucks! Good luck on your search! :D

    I'm currently doing ChaLEAN Extreme. I'm starting my 4th and final week of the burn phase (first month).
    This program is A-MAZING!! I honestly LOOK FORWARD to my workouts (you can see in my status's i've talked about it plenty)
    Chalene has a way of motivating and encouraging and making things FUN. It doesn't feel repetitive because it changes up all the time.
    It's a pretty intense strength training program. However, you can modify some moves to low-impact (less hard on knees and joints) and you can also use lighter weights if need be (i use 5s,8s,10s and 15s) so a wide range :D
    I AM seeing results yes :) I can definitely see it in my biceps & shoulders. They are becoming more and more pronounced. I will have pictures at 30 60 and 90 days to show everyone upon completion :)
    This is WELL worth it.
    I JUST bought Turbofire because Chalene is SO inspiring, I know i'll love it. She really makes you WANT to workout (which sounds odd) especially because I NEVER used to like working out & i'd get SO bored. I've been at this program for 4wks (along with C25K) and I couldn't be happier with my progress.

    I am currently on my 3rd week of a Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid, and I love it. Just like the poster said above, Chalene is a great motivator/instructor. Turbo Fire is a kick a** cardio program, but it is fun! Just when you think you couldn't possibly move another step, she is right there telling you that "you aren't tired!" It might sound cheesy, but the way she does is it so incredibly motivating.
    Even though I'm only on my third week, I am seeing a difference in my arms and in my waist. Yesterday was my strength training day, and my arms are burning today!

    I've dabbled in P90x, Insanity, but am Currently doing Turbo Fire (i'm 4 weeks in) I also recently decided to add some P90x into the mix because I like lifting.

    I just started working out at home recently and the Beach Body programs are by far my favorite because they don't play around. You just have to find what type of workout you like and that you will stick to.
    Insanity is hard core cardio- The name says it all
    P90x is cool too it focuses more on lifting with 2 days of cardio (if you do the classic version) and 1 day of yoga.
    Turbo Fire is faced pace but a lot of fun and you will sweat.
    No clue about Chalean Extreme

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

    I'm doing Turbo Fire, lots of punches and kicks. DH just finished Insanity and he went from 200lbs down to 180lbs, I can tell a huge difference in his upper body. His big like was that the workouts were shorter than P90X and you didn't need extra gear.
