Jessica Smith's 6-Week Total Transformation
It comes with a calendar. All of the workouts are 30 minutes. It has cardio, strength, fusion/stretch. The set is great. The videos are fun. No dread factor! Also, she suggests modifications for everything.

Lisa Wheeler's Weight Watchers 10 Minute Belly, Butt & Thigh Tone-Ups - absolutely no dread factor. 10 minute segments that can be done with only 1 set of weights. Very nicely choreographed, no wasted moves. Lisa always has a "special" move at the end of a set of workout moves. It always leaves me feeling good - worked out but not overly exhausted.

Lisa Wheeler's Weight Watchers 7 Day Tone & Burn - has two 30 min workouts, one sculpting & one cardio. Also nicely choreographed, fun, good to progress with.

Michelle Dozois' Pick Your Level Fat to Firm Fast is awesome. I can follow along with the beginner, intermediate or advanced and not feel left out. Just enough cardio to feel worked and good solid strength training with only 1 or 2 sets of weights.

These can all be purchased for < $10 each.

because of your post, I did the Pick Your Level workout this morning. Stephanie Vitorino is the advanced modifier and "Kat" from 21DF and Leslie Sansone fame is the beginner modifier. I got a great workout!

speaking of Lisa Wheeler, I did her WW Stability Ball workout. I woke up with DOMS in my abs - I was confused about where it came from! this DVD is programmable, by the way. you can pick any 10 min segment, and then it adds a warm up & cool down.

In addition to Jessica Smith's 6-Week Total Transformation which has been mentioned above, Jessica has to other sets I would recommend

Walk On: 21 Day Weight Loss Plan
and
Walk On: Walk the Weight Off 30 Day Plan

Jessica's workouts here have her Mom, Debbie, showing a low impact/low weight option and Jessica and Beth doing more advanced options. This will allow you to start with these workouts as a beginner, but move on to more intense moves as you are ready. And there is a lot of variety to keep you from getting bored!
