Do you have a favorite exercise tape/dvd?

I use the WATP dvd's. I like them b/c I can do the moves and I feel like I get a decent workout. What is your favorite exercise tape/dvd and why?

This is a neat idea for a thread, Cindy--I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone likes to do for their exercise. I'm a huge fan of The Firm videos, although it took me a while to be able to do them completely! I enjoy doing both cardio and weight training, and most of their videos combine the two for a good total body workout. They also have all-cardio and all-weights videos, so I can alternate and mix-n-match. It's also easy to increase your workout intensity as you can just heavy-up on the weights as you progress. They're definitely my favorites!

I have to agree with Kim on this one. The FIRM is my favorite. I really have never found anything that I love to do as much as these tapes. Although, the first time I put one of the DVD's in I stood there and watched them thinking..........are they kidding? The moves are hard, but they are so much fun they make you want to learn them. I still have a ways to go to get all the moves down because I alternate tapes all the time. I really love Complete Aerobics and Weight Training from the BSS2 series. I just ordered the BSS3 last night and have plans on adding some of the other BSS2 and original BSS DVD's. I also love how they combine cardio with weight training. It really is a nice balance, and really makes it fun.

I am a big fan of the Taebo series, I have most of the live series and just got the 2004 set. I also really like the beach body tapes, you can alternate days of weight training and aerobics.

Thanks for the names of your tapes. I want to grab a new dvd or two and some weights so I just wanted to know which ones I should look for.

I like the WATP. I feel like I get a good workout and it's not hard on my joints.
I also do Tae-Bo, but it's a much harder workout and puts a bit more strain on the body.

i started on the firm cardio plus abs this week..i love it..of course i havents een any results yet,,but im hoping!!! i was just wondering what other videos that you use along with the firm...im trying to do the tape every other day..and do the abs part every day...its also starting to get to the point that it is not freezing every day, so im also going to try to jog or briskly walk around a development....but just wondering what else you guys do..thanks!!

I absolutely love my FIRM vidoes. My favorite would be the Cardio Sculpt work out. I just think Allie who is the lead instructor is just great. I have 3 tapes in a series: cardio, ab and body sculpt. I would have to say Jen I think she does body sculpt is my least favorite instructor so I do that one the least. I usually alternate days of cardio and ab with my exercise bike to give me a little variety but I feel like could do cardio sculpt everyday and not be bored. As Melanie and Kim have stated, you can't beat the combination of cardio and weights.

Plus I have never used a workout system that kept my energy level up all day long! I'd like to get some of the other DVDs but haven't made that investment yet.
