    I like any of the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home dvds. They are essentially low impact aerobics with combinations of 4 moves. Simple enough to follow but also a great burn.

    ^^^THIS^^^

    I lose Leslie's workouts! My favorites are "4 Fast Miles" (about 50 minutes) and "Big Burn" (about 30 minutes).

    It really depends what level you're at, I think. Everyone has great suggestions, but if you're just starting out, then Insanity or P90X isn't the place to start, in my opinion.

    If I had to suggest a beginner to intermediatte workout it would be Turbo Jam. Chalene is fun and the workouts are kickboxy (I find it therepeutic to punch and kick) and there are some shorter and longer workouts.

    My favorite DVDs are Cathe Friedrich though. I think I have every single one of hers! She has beginner workouts and a lot of advanced workouts. I started out with Step, which is my ultimated favorite kind of cardio. But she has a TON of others, low impact ones, kickboxing, hi/low, weights. If you're interested at all you can check out her website. cathe.com

    I'm fully on the 30 Day Shred bandwagon right now. I love/hate Jillian, but there's no arguing that she gets results fast! A month ago I struggled through a girly push up and now I'm rocking planks.

    After reading all of these I've loaded up my amazon cart. I guess there are worse things I could do with my money.

    Anything by Jillian michaels. The movements are very effective but pretty easy to follow (but it's not an easy workout by any means). I did 6 week 6 pack and was dripping sweat. Her 30 day shred vid is pretty good too!

    Love Turbo Jam. I now do the classes live at my gym under the name TurboKick but it is still a Chalene Johnson program.

    These but the 5mile dvd that comes with a resistance band so that I can work out my arms at the same time. Woot Woot.

    Zumba DVDs. They're so fun that it doesn't even feel like exercise!

    :heart: Absolutely agree! I started out with the single songs at low intensity and worked my way up to a comfort zone. It doesn't feel like exercise until I hit the steps the following morning!

    Well...none of them are exactly FUN for me, but Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism from Jillian Michaels is a great burn and it's fast paced. No More Trouble Zones also kicks my butt, quite literally. My butt muscles are sore for several days after that one.

    Like many others on here, I too enjoy 30 Day Shred. It's challenging, short, easy to follow (for those of us who are rhythm challenged), and I like the kinds of exercises Jillian chooses. It forces me to work other areas of my body I wouldn't normally work.

    Hands down, my favorite workout DVD is Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home - 5 Day Slim Down - A Mile Each Morning.
    It's so easy because it's just walking, but it actually gets me up off my butt and exercising.

    You can choose between 5 miles that focus on different body parts and they each take about 12-14 minutes (not including warmup and cool down, which are included). And it's not just walking on a treadmill or something. You walk in place, do side-steps, kicks, and knee lifts. Those are the four basic steps and she varies it up as you go.

    Plus, the woman on the DVD, Leslie, is very encouraging and sincere. A rarity with workout DVDs.
    Absolutely recommend it!
