    Hello! I'm looking for a new workout dvd or small exercise equipment to get me out of my boredom. Any suggestions?





    You can get a lot of free workouts on Youtube!!

    I had an old friend that swore by Tae Bo.

    Netflix has Pick your level Pilates. It's really good.

    Personally 30DS didn't work for me because it got me boored the way it worked. I'm now trying her other dvd, Extreme Shed and Shred and somehow this works MUCH better for me, it's fast paced and actually keeps me engaged because of all the differences in exercises.

    do you have netflix? i just started the bootcamp crunch and there are a bunch of different ones. i really like them. you can also get them live feed through your wii or ps3

    I do have netflix, but I have never searched or heard of any good workouts on there. Are there any other workouts on netflix you recommend?

    Search for the "10 Minute Solutions" series. They are 5 sets of 10-minute workouts for the following activities: yoga, pilates, kickboxing, dance, toning. You can do one or any combination of the 5. I have done a few lately and love them!

    I made a YouTube playlist of Zumba workouts and some Wii Just Dance songs...very fun, high impact cardio and free! I would recommend that also.

    I have grown attached to the Biggest Loser DVD's.....I have Cardio Max and Power Sculpt. I just ordered Power Walk. I also have Jillian's 30 Day Shred....but I like Cardio Max and Power Sculpt better because they feature people who look like me. If they can do this crap so can I! :happy:

    Another vote for Leslie Sansone. You can work up quite a sweat, especially if you get one of her interval ones.

    I have the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD. I do all three levels and burn about 750 calories during the 50 minutes (your mileage will vary depending on weight). It's actually pretty enjoyable, as it features contestants from the show. Seeing REAL people working out instead of a bunch of already fit people makes me feel good. I lost my first 45 lbs with this DVD doing it once a day.

    I also have Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and her No More Trouble Zones DVDs. The 30 Day Shred is okay, but I find that it doesn't burn as many calories for the time spent as I'd like.

    The No More Trouble Zones is great- 40 minutes of actual working out, plus warm up and cool down. None of the moves are impossible (though at least one - something where you lay on your side and have to lift yourself up - still gives me trouble and something to work towards). Both of the Jillian DVDs use circuit training, which is good for maximizing results as opposed to just cardio/just weights.

    As a suggestion, if you're going to get Zumba (which I would), I'd order the original older set. I have both the old and the new and the old are a much better workout in terms of cardio and calorie burn.

    Which is the old one? I've been looking into Zumba, and I've read this comment by a number of people (here and elsewhere on the internet) and I'm not sure what is meant by the "old" version...

    I'm horribly disappointed. I just looked on amazon and in an attempt to promote all the new "exhilarate" videos, they aren't selling them really. This is the system I prefer. http://www.amazon.com/Zumba-Fitness-Total-Transformation-System/dp/B002HZ4XMC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1334706678&sr=8-2

    I wonder if you can get them at a library too?

    Or something like Craigslist/Freecycle.

    Yay! Thank you - I was hoping you could share a link the actual one you prefer. :-) I agree - it's frustrating that you can't find it anywhere. It looks like only the most recent release is readily available anywhere...

    I've looked at my local library, and they have a looooong waiting list for the Zumba videos. I will have to check out CraigsList, though - I keep forgetting to look there.
