So I'm thinking of investing in a few dvds for when the winter weather strikes and puts a stop to outdoor workouts. I had a few general ideas in mind and wondered if anyone had any experience with them> ? I'm being cautious since the last dvd I got was a disappointment....
I was curious about Carmen Electra's "strip to fit " video series, but can defiantly see that turning out to be a waste. Also had my eye on a few "pilates/kickboxing" combo Dvds. I'd love to get my hands on a couple of good fighting videos but nothing too complicated, I understand anything new will have instruction but I want something quick to catch onto and really get me sweating.
Again I'm looking for an intermediate cardio workout, last new workout I tried was belly dancing and while it was nice and interesting it wasn't quite what I craved and I never felt like I was doing an honest workout.
So, thoughts?

    My moms tv had Carmen Electras Strip to Fit onDemand and I tried it. You feel a little goofy in some dance moves but I really enjoyed it. I didnt do it long term so I do not know how effective it is.

    I like to check out exercise DVDs from the library. They have a huge selection so when I get tired of it (about three times) I just return it and get a different one. If I really like it, I buy one for my personal library.

    Yes they are great!!! Anyone can do them but you still get a workout doing them at tip top shape.

    Leslie Sansone has some good indoor walking workouts.

    Exercise TV has over 100 free workouts on their site. If you don't mind watching workouts from your computer, then you can check out the workouts on there. A lot of them come on On Demand. A lot of cable companies don't carry Exercise TV with their On Demand.
