In addition to all of the workouts already mentioned, I also recommend Donna Read's All Out Strength. It's on a DVD with a step workout and a yoga workout. AOS is about 65 minutes and a great total body workout.

Combine Kathy Smith's Secrets set.
It's two workouts, but I like to combine Kathys Smith's Secrets set into one total body workout. I do the lower body one first, skipping the cooldown and then skip the warm-up of the upper body one and go right into it. You get a thorough workout in an hour. Both workouts are now on one dvd (along with a short cardio) called Super Slimdown Circuit.

Kathy Smith's Full Body Circuit is excellent. love that workout. it's from the Project You set.
David Kirsch, if you can stand him, has 2 good ones that i have tried - Ultimate New York Body Plan (has several workouts to choose from on this disc) and Sound Mind Sound Body (45 min). Tony Horton - Sculpt 5-6 from P90m clocks in at 45 min. the BodyBars - as Laura mentioned, are good.

Icey, you didn't misread. I knew she said she didn't click with Cathe's stuff but I just love Cathe's strength training so much, I didn't want her to miss out just because she had only tried the one Slow & Heavy (which I personally didn't click with either).
But you guys have all given some really good alternatives so that's really good. I would have to definitely agree with Mindy Myrlea, Extreme Intervals/Pump Party (if you can stand her chit-chat, which I don't mind). Also the consumer version of BodyPump has good music & mixes up the count quite a bit to keep it interesting. Another good one for me is the CIA (don't remember the #) Powerbar Training with Shannon & Alison Boyd Anderson (Anderson sisters, I can't keep their last names straight). It's long but good. I hope you find some workouts that click with you & let us know |
