Favorite Workout Videos?

I have the 30 Day Shred but am looking for some variety. I like that it's (a fast) all over workout, but I'm getting pretty sick of it. 

What other videos have you had success with?

  • I had great success with Insanity. No equipment needed.....

  • I actually prefer Jillian's Ripped In 30.  I'm doing that one now, and I'm doing week 2 for a second week in a row because I had a few extra rest days on my actual week 2.  

    I also did Brazil Butt Lift, and liked that a lot. I have Jillian's 6 Pack in 6 Weeks and wasn't as crazy about it.  

  • I am a huge fan of at home workout videos. I currently do Hip Hop Abs and it is SO much fun! Your breaking a sweat like crazy and the longest workout is 40 minutes to the shortest one being around 23 minutes. The best part is you are working your butt off in 23 minutes but you dont even realize it because its fun! Its a great workout. I followed the schedule at first but now i made my own schedule and concentrate on my abs and so far im down 5 pounds in a week :) I get bored so easily so I like to always switch it up. Ill even add some P90X once or twice a week. Sometimes I will even do two workouts in one day and its still under 40 minutes and I still burn at least 300 cals. Its great! 

    P90X is also an amazing workout. The workouts are a bit longer, but its worth it. Definitely a good jump start to weight loss and becoming fit (I lost 25 pounds way before the 90 days was up).

  • So helpful, thank you! Keep em' coming!

    It's great to have suggestions. There are so many options on Amazon that it's overwhelming.

  • I like Cathe Friedrich, whose website is www.cathe.com.  Her videos are also for salt on collagevideo.com which is a great site for sorting through home workout videos, watching clips and reading reviews.

  • Heh, this may sound totally dorky but we have an xbox w/kinect and we got the kinect adventures (or something similar to that name) and it really is a game but you're jumping a TON the whole time that it really does turn into a full body work out, it's not too shabby lol

  • My biggest pet peeve with workout videos is when they change the move too quickly and make it more like a choreography lesson than a workout. So:

    I like Chris Freytag- easy to follow- good for starting out

    The Firm- sometimes hard to follow, but by the third time I had it down

    I just want to say that I miss Exercise TV. You can find lots of videos free on the internet, but Exercise TV was so convenient. If you are afraid to buy a video without trying it first, you can find almost any video online to see if you like it.

  • I think Hip-Hop Abs is good, and Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones is tough, but good as well.

  • Hey people i looking better and fit.I'm harmed right now and limited to the fitness bicycle, but I want to add in some weight exercising. I've tried exercise video clips in previous times and really liked them.
