My videos are due back at the library. I can keep them for up to 6 weeks and I figured that was a great amount of time to really master a video but not to get too bored and then I would switch it up right around the time my body gets too used to it. So I am compiling a list and would love your suggestions. FYI, I am just starting out and a total wuss. Not sure if that makes any difference but I have about 180 left to lose, so I am in awful shape and there are some things that are just WAY above what I am capable of at this point. I don't want eay and I am definitely wanting to challenge myself, but I also don't want to set unrealistic expectations. I love dance/aerobics/yoga/pilates/tai chi type of stuff. Thanks in advance!

    I've always liked the Biggest Loser videos. I also have done the Firm videos and Jillian Michaels stuff. Jillian's stuff was sometimes a bit too high impact when I was heavier, but there is always modifications:) She also has a yoga video. If I think of any more, I'll let ya know!

    I really like the Beach Body series called Slim in 6. Its a progressive series that starts off slow and increases difficulty as you go. Its a tiny bit corny and not flashy and cool like newer series, but its simple, and effective

    The biggest loser workouts. I just tried The biggest loser Last chance workout and Jillian will have you do cardio and strength training at the same video.

    I agree about jillian michaels. I have the 30 day shred by her. It's tough but boy does it work. I stopped doing it gor a month and put it in today and it didn't seem to be as hard as I remember so maybe losing some weight helped me with my endurance. I would see if they have any zumba dvds because I think zumba is amazing. It is a fun workout and really burns those calories. Other than that the only workout dvd I have is a 10 minute pilates one but I find that one hard. I can hardly get through 10 mins. Good luck finding some you like! I may go get some from my library as well since i'm due for a change. Thanks for the idea!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jillian Michael's stuff. She is great at combining cardio, core and strength training. She also seems to say just the right thing, at the right time. :)

    I love Jillian Michaels as well, especially the 30DS, and the dancing with the stars videos are good too!

    Great post idea.... I've done P90X which I would NOT recommend if you are just starting out. It's tough......I like kick-boxing workouts b/c they give me a feeling of toughness and empowerment. :bigsmile:
