I like:
10 minute solutions for a lot of variety
15 minute workout for dummies and
shaping up with weights for dummies is great and easy to accomplish
fat burning for dummies is also good

Kathy Köhler basics is good-I can send you this one

The Firm Basic set
that Firm set with 20 minute workouts -
lots of good Firm Beginners
Love the Fit Primes but they are longer but such a great production and great instructor

I'm leaning toward a basic Jessica walking or still considering Leslie. Thanks for all the suggestions!

I really like Leslie's Walk It Off in 30 Days. It has a 30-min walk and a 30-min beginner weight workout. Great for alternating! I'd add to that Jane Adams Gentle Yoga (which has 7 practices, I think) and you've got a well-rounded fitness repertoire, all beginner friendly.

If she’s very out of shape, 30 minutes might be too much for her and she might get discouraged. Leslie has a mile a day (15-20 min.) walking dvd with 5 walks which include light toning. She also has a 10 minute walking dvd with several walks that you can do separately or put together for a longer walk. I’m not familiar with Jessica’s short walks, but I think her walks are usually a bit more challenging :-)

Leslie's Tone Every Zone is another do-able DVD with some toning. I do think Jessica's walking DVDs are more challenging than Jessica's.

Karen Voight's Firm Arms & Abs and Lean Legs & Buns are oldies but goodies, as is KCM's Start Here and Kathy Smith's Secrets of a Great Upper Body and Secrets of a Great Lower Body (on her compilation DVDs)! Stephanie Huckabee's Powerfit DVDs are another possibility.

Tamilee's I want that body and Total body stretch
Kathy Smith's Rejuvenation series
Ellen's Crunch videos
Prevention Fit in 10
Quick fix series
Yogazone beginner titles
+1 on 10 Minute solutions series

I also echo that Jessica's stuff can be pretty challenging based on using it with DD. She does like her...but is much more likely to want to do the Ellen's, Tamilee or 10 MS.
