Something around 30 minutes or so of cardio. For those days I don't feel like dragging myself to the gym, but I know I'll regret it if I don't do SOMETHING productive?

    Not sure where you live and I'm too lazy to check your profile :tongue: but I have 2 dvds that im alternating everyday. I'm a SAHM and my hubby works random shifts so I can't get to the gym. I love them and I hurt so they must be working! :wink: Don't know if you'll get them in the US/Canada etc though the first one is called Davinas superbdy workout and the 2nd is called the lose weight workout by Mikyla. After my first baby I did Tae Bo dvd's and they were awesome!

    Tee other thing I have is a lateral thigh trainer thingy but in all honesty I have only used it once. I have no idea how to get an effective work out on it.

    Good Luck!!

    I've been using The Biggest Loser DVD.. Bob's Boot Camp. He won't let you rest and keeps you going for a good 25-30 minutes each. There are several workouts to pick from too.

    I love it because it's typical Bob... making you keep going and going on and on about burning calories. He helps me stay motivated.

    I have a hard time dragging myself to the gym too and I feel myself get bored too easily there. Bob is entertaining and I feel like I am on the Biggest Loser Ranch with him alone! It's great!!

    I sound like a commercial! lol :blushing:

    Turbo Jam Fat Blaster is a great 30 minute high intensity aerobic workout. You can get the DVD at amazon for about $19 without having to buy the whole Turbo Jam package.

    I would recommend going to beachbody.com and checking out their video selection. That is where you will find Turbo Jam as mentioned above and they have a wide range of videos. From 10 minute workouts to hour long workout. They are the ones that put out P90X and P90 workouts. Browse the choices and read the descriptions and see if any would work for you. You could buy them from the site, buy them from a coach (which I am not one, but there are several on these chats), or you could try to buy them off of ebay or craigs list. These cheaper alternatives may be risky since you will most likely be getting burned dvd's instead of the originals and you won't get some of the other good accessories either. I purchased some dvd's from craigslist and not all of them work, so you do get what you pay for!

    Good Luck!

    I just started Power 90 from beachbody.com 2 weeks ago. The workouts are rather boring, but man, do they work. I've already lost 1 1/2 inches on each thigh and and almost an inch on each arm. I used to be a fan of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, but I would much rather to Tony Horton's workouts instead. Definitely check out beachbody.com.

    Turbo Jam is an awesome one to do! Chalene is so fun and you really work up a sweat! I'm also a SAHM so I've been using workout DVD's at home for years now. Beachbody has a lot of great workouts, let me know if you have any questions (I'm a Team Beachbody coach).

    Take care!

    I love :love: the Denise Austin Boot Camp! I am sweaty and exhausted after doing the whole 50 minutes. Love the last 10 minute flexibility part. It's relaxing.

    I use Leslie Sansone's Walk Away The Pounds series of dvd's to get my cardio done indoors since the weather has been so, shall we say "non-cooperative"!:laugh: Then 3 days a week I add strength training to my workouts, and for that Ive been using Kathy Smith's Build Muscle To Shrink Fat series. Kathy Smith is pretty tough, but you just do modifications until you can keep up to her pace:wink: Sometimes I wonder though if I will ever graduate to her pace!:laugh: They do just fine for me though. Great workouts:flowerforyou:

    I record some of the exercise shows that come on TV. Gilad and some others are really good.

    I LOVE Cardioke!! It is with Billy Blanks, Jr (son of Tae Bo guru Billy Blanks) and it is so fun!! It's more like dancing than exercise and yes, you do actually sing! They had it on the Exercise on Demand channel but then I went to do it last week and it was gone!!! :explode: I ordered the video from exercisetv.tv (yes, it is .tv) right away but I haven't gotten it yet. :sad: I googled a "exercise tv coupon code" and found one that took about $5 or so off my order. After shipping cost it came out to $21 and change. I'm telling you, it is fun!! I can't wait to get it!!:bigsmile:
