Anyone doing cardio other than the suggested DVD?

Is any anyone doing something different than the suggested DVD? I have a 10k slated in a couple months and a half marathon this fall. I really don't want to take 90 days off from running. I plan to replace the cardio DVDs with running. Is anyone else doing. Different type of cardio? I had to change my rest day too. Hopefully his is not to much detour from the schedule.

Im still doing the cardio tapes as layed out and trying o jog 3 times a week. I hope to do my first 5k this summer! Someone said that jillian said its okay to do only 5 extra cardios a week I think and no additional strenghth.0

I had been taking an additional 20 minute walk or do the elliptical for some extra cardio after the workout. I did the Cardio I on assigned days. I am not doing the Cardio II because it's too hard on my knees. I do Tae Bo instead. I started WO 9 yesterday and there was no way I was going to get an additional minute of exercise out of me.0

I got bored with Cardio 1, so I replaced it once a week with Jillian's Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism dvd. I'm half-way through Phase 2, but I still love Cardio 2!0

I am doing additional cardio workouts, pretty mucha a big mix between Turbo Fire, Insanity,Kickbox Fast Fix, Jogging, Swimming, and Cycling. I am trying to begin prep to start doing triathlons (although I am a VERY beginner so it will be awhile). I am loving the mix of workouts though! I still do the Cardio from BR as specified. Keeps my body guessing. :-)0

I just started and am in the kickstart phase. Last night I did workout one and the next run in my C25K. I plan on keeping up with the C25K and alternating it with Jillian's cardio. One of my major goals for this year is to run a 5K, so I have to keep running.0

I still do the cardio Dvd on the days permitted and am also doing c25k. Want to do my first 5k in June!0

I have to admit that the last week of Phase 1 I got extremely bored with Cardio 1 so I started doing walk/jog intervals to replace the DVD's. Also went on bike rides to get my cardio in.0

I do the cardio DVD and I also go to a Step class once a week and I run 1 to 2 times per week as well.0

I have a few halfs coming up and just replace the cardio days with running. Been working fine for me.0

I got bored after the first time doing cardio 1!! lol. I do Zumba on Mondays and Wednesdays and I plan on going to the track now that the weather is getting nicer and running bleachers to get my cardio in! So yes, I am doing other things

I found that when I reached cardio2, that I can't do it. It's way to much pounding on my knees. I ordered the new no impact Turbo Fire. I love it, and getting a much higher calorie burn that JMBR cardio videos.0

I am. I do zumba for an hour two times a week, banish fat boost metabolism on Saturdays and kickbox fast fix 3 other days.0

Do you like kickbox fast fix? Are there weights involved or is it mostly cardio? Mine is coming in the mail tomorrow! I think I'll add it to my cardio days.0 -
I go rollerblading once per week and take a couple of walks per week. I haven't been doing the cardio DVDs much

Found them...thanks!
Thus far, after kickstart week, I've been adding 1-2 additional cardio workouts (I do a video from my P90 set) and 1-2 yoga classes. I do these for fun and/or if I feel like I have more energy.0 -

I love the kickbox fastfix! !! More cardio, but a couple moves use weights. I love that it is brokenup into 3 20 min workouts so you can do 1 or all 3 depending on how much time you have. Its fast paced too, I like that.0 -
I have been doing Turbo Fire, as I feel that I burn more calories during it rather than cardio 1.0

Hmmmmm......interest peaked.......and that Kickblox Fast Fix has me thinking too......0 -
Can someone tell me the exact name of the Turbo Fire Low Impact DVD? And which Kickbox Fast Fix are you all talking about: Jillian Michaels or the other one?
Went on Amazon and Turbo's websites and couldn't tell which DVD was the low impact one~or do you have to order the entire 90 day package?0
