Exercise HELP!!!!

I need help find a high impact cardio AND toning DVD for home workout.
I used to take spin classes at my gym however after moving in with FH it's difficult to ge the gym in the morning because of my longer commute.
I've been doing Tae bo but im getting really tired of it!!!

If anyone has any suggestion that would be great!!!!

I love pilates. It changes your whole body. I'm going to start again tonight with it. I also bought Dancing with the stars cardio workout DVD. Its a lot of fun, plus your learning some moves.

Is pilates just to tone though. I've definitely got to drop some weight first right??? Never was sure about that though!!!!

Is the dancing with the stars dvd high impact??

Sounds fun.

Pilates is for toning, but it also gets rid of inches. I lost 60 pounds dieting and doing that.

The DVD is definitely high impact. They have dances such as the paso doble, samba, cha cha, jive (and I think one other) some are higher impact than others. For example, the paso doble is kinda slow, but the jive really gets your heart pumping and is A LOT of fun. Thats my favorite.

when i started pilates a few years ago it was to lose about 35 pounds and i did...you will drop the weight QUICKLY and then after you'll noticed you'll be toned

honestly as women we dont have to worry about getting too buff...it takes ALOT for a woman to get too muscular or even muscular period. You can get those lines on each side of your stomach, which is what will probably happen...i mean look at so many woman that work out constantly and they still wont have 6 packs, you dont see many with them...those that have it really go that extra effort and will go to the gym 2x a week and use heavy weights and they dont just do regular workouts like pilates...They'll do intense strength training. So unless you'll be lifting 100 pound weights and boxing for hours a day, doing 500-1000 crunches a day then i wouldn't worry...there was a time i was working out 2 hours a day for 5x a day and i didnt get too muscular...i got lean and again got those lines on mystomach and also defined arms but they were thin

P.S. most women i personally know with 6 packs do take steroids

Im doing slim in 6...
I just started it yesterday... But I am so out of shape that I am in agony today.. My legs are killing me to the point it hurts to move them a little bit... Not exactly what I wanted LOL... But Im going to stick to it and see how it works.. No pain, no gain (or loss) I guess...
I wanted to try DWS.. Maybe Ill pick that up as well!

Yeah you have to go hard core to bulk up as a woman. I was just concerned that it would just tighten up all the fat that I already have

yeah i just edited above post to add something but ill write it here too.

I know women who do have 6 packs and all of them take steroids and other things to help develop that muscle. Those who dont take steroids take creatin and those type of stuff, rip abs fuel or whatever all those things are called

yoga booty ballet DVDs i bought them off the TV and i love them they are only about 20 min long and really breaks the same ole workout routine

---

The same goes for the Windsor Pilates tapes. I like that I have to get up and change the DVD. The have a 60 minute full body DVD, but then they also have concentrated DVDs that are 20 minutes (ie: Buns and thighs, and abs)
