I just skimmed the posts, but I didn't notice anybody mentioning Denise Austin.  She's a little "perky" but I love her videos.  I have quite a few and I haven't found one yet that wasn't easy to follow and effective.

Hey M, I recently bought the hip hop abs of the informercial (sad I know) but I got it and love it!  I did it for a week and totally noticed a difference.

Other workout dvds I love are

Mari Winsor Pilates (I lost 13 inches around the middle doing this)

Ellen Croft Extreme Pilates (that's the pilates machine work outs) 

HTH!

Tina, I think I have a Mari Winsor video!  I liked it but didn't give it enough time.  We seem similar in our workout tastes!

I just got notice that my HIp Hop Abs shipped yesterday......I can't wait to try it.  :)

 I, too, am a big fan of the Yoga Booty Ballet dvds...especially the Hip Hop, Cardio Cabaret, and Latin ones...

Good luck,
Kimberly

 

I have a few that I like really well.  There's the Carmen Electra Striptease ones.  I have a Bellydancing one, Prevention Dance it Off, Body & Soul Fitness:  Kickboxing and of course Tae Bo!  I like to mix them up and I like to do hiking, walking and swimming.
