    What are you looking for? It's hard to recommend something without knowing what your goals are or what level you are.

    You can have a look at videofitness.com for a lot of reviews and search the forums. There is info about pretty much every workout DVD somewhere on that site.

    I did:
    Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred (before/after pics in my profile) and Jillian Michael's Trouble Zones (before/after pics in my profile), Both gave me amazing results, but I did them everyday for 30 days straight.

    I am now alternating between TurboFire Greatest HIITS and Trouble Zones.

    Right now, I'm loving Ellen Barrett, Kelly Coffey Meyer, & Chris Freytag

    collagevideo.com just sells fitness DVDs! (OK some equipment too) They have video clips, reviews, information on each DVD ...... examples impact level, equipment needed, fitness level. This is my first stop when shopping for a new DVD! So much information .....

    Kelly Coffey Meyer has a series callled 30 Minutes to Fitness. These DVDs have 2 - 30 minute workouts plus lots of premixes to keep it fresh. Kickboxing, Bootcamp, Weights, Step Aerobics ..... lots of styles. Kelly has a great personality

    Ellen Barrett's workouts are "Soothing" ..... you don't feel stressed out, or that you're working that hard, but I feel it the next day! Ellen is very down to earth and "genuine"

    To be honest, i have only done a rosemary conely one which is aerobics. I have my kettlebells dvd too. I have a small living room so theres not alot of room, and i basically have to do my exercise while my daughter is asleep on an evening. I have to be quiet aswell which is pretty hard to do. I dont mind what dvd really (im not that fit just yet either.)

    ^^ this! Also her 6 week 6 pack and banish fat boost metabolism. The rest depend on personal taste. I like Billy Blanks's Tae bo DVD.

    I was going to suggest collagevideo.com, but I saw that someone else already has. I am also a huge fan of Bob Harper. You can go to mytrainerbob.com and get his dvds for $5 each. His workouts are killer. I have about 50 workout videos which I have been buying since the early 90s. Some of my favorites are Karen Voight, Gilad Janklowicz, Tamilee Webb and Petra Kolber.

    Here are awesome, FREE kettlebell videos.

    Given your constraints, kettlebells is perfect.

    Jillian Michaels DVD's are pretty good. They are usually 20 to 40 minutes long and have beginner and advanced moves. I personally love 6 week 6 pack and ripped in 30.

    Ahhh ..... Quiet = Leslie Sansone for cardio. Low impact & the moves are so simple, you could actually mute the sound & use an MP3 player. "The Ultimate 5 Day Walk Plan" DVD has both cardio & strength straining. Leslie is VERY beginner for strength training - but intermediate for cardio. This DVD is programable..... you pick & choose the miles and/or strength training you have time for. Target, etc. will have this ....here is the collage website for a video clip

    http://www.collagevideo.com/workout-video/leslie-sansones-ultimate-5-day-walk-plan-6155

    Kelly Coffey Meyers "Start Here" is great ..... it's half cardio and half strength training. The cardio is very basic & easy to do. It's mixed impact, but there is a modifier to show you lower impact (quieter) moves

    I really like Leslie Sansone's walking DVDs...esp Walk Away the Pounds Express 4 mile Super Challenge and her 5 mile fat-busting DVD. Both are easy, don't take a lot of room, but are effective. Also LOVE Rockin' Body DVD's from Beach Body...they are fun, but not sure yet on effectiveness....have only had them a short while.

    Ellen Barrett might be a good choice, especially if you like a little mind body fitness and a soothing, upbeat manner. I like Bikini Ready Fast, Fat Burning Fusion and Slim Sculpt.

    I also really like Leslie Sansone. I know a lot of people think it's easy, but her newer "boosted" workouts are great and easy to fit in. I've done Insanity,and I still get benefit from her videos. I like four fast miles and 5 mile fat burning walk. You can do the whole videos or just individual miles when time crunched.

    Another favorite is Women's Health Train for Your Body Type. It's got a good Interval cardio workout and strength training. The DVD is programmable and has daily workouts.

    Also, I love Chris Freytag. Her 10lb Slimdown and 10 lb Xtreme videos are great.

    Chris Freitag: Kickstart Your Metabolism (kickboxing), and Walking Cardio ShapeUp Max. Both are excellent.

    check out all the options on beachbody.com...all of their dvd programs come with money back guarentee. Try one, ifyou don't like it, send it back. I've had to do this a couple of times and have no problems
    good luck!

    He he! I always keep Richard Simmons in my workout rotations! Fun!

    I'm stuck in the 1980's so I enjoy my step aerobics DVD's, especially Gilad's and Gin Miller's. Both are at Collage and have their own websites. Step aerobics really burns calories efficiently and I can hold hand weights and get upper body toning at the same time.
