i have a lot of denise austin but she gets boring. i like pilates alot. for being 261 pds. i can keep up very well with pilates. so i guess i'm pretty flexable. but i'm looking to lose weight. i've tried shape fitness but they are a little more difficult. i like crunch workouts. i also tried jillian michaels but she's very advanced. i'm looking for something with a little cardio and strength training combined.

Here are three websites that will give you more options for exercise videos than you ever dreamed were possible:
Collage Video: http://www.collagevideo.com/
As another poster mentioned, Collage allows you to preview all of their videos that they have in stock. In addition, their website allows you to do a search by type of workout, level, etc. They also have short customer reviews as well as a forum where you can post questions and usually receive an answer within 1-2 business days.
Your Exercise DVDs: http://www.yourexercisedvds.com/...
This site exists only to review workouts, and they have a lot of workouts which should appeal to you. The reviews are concise yet informative and sorted by type (e.g. toning, cardio, etc.).
VideoFitness: http://www.videofitness.com/
This is a consumer-only site; they're not trying to sell you anything. Here you can read through tons of video reviews written by actual people who've done anywhere from a few to a thousand exercise videos. In addition, there's a forum where you can post questions and do searches for more information about anything related to fitness.
If you haven't looked at Kathy Smith's stuff (either what's available commercially or her Project: You made by BeachBody - a company with a poor business record, by the way) or at Karen Voight, they might be good choices for you.
Good luck with your fitness video search! I love working out to DVDs in my home on my own schedule.

Stop the vids. Get a PS2 or Xbox and get Dance Dance Revolution. It's a dance video game, and is soo much fun! And actually very easy, on some levels/songs. There is a Workout Mode that is AWESOME! What it does is count how many calories that you have burned on each song and also gives you a total calories burned. Its so amazing.

I would recommend Turbo Jam from BeachBody.com. I've been doing Turbo for about a year and a half now and it's such a great workout and the music that is on the dvds is like no other workout music. It keeps you motivated and you actually look forward to the workout.

Go to collage videos online. This is a professional site and they have everything, this is where I get mine to learn new choreography. They even let you view it first so you can check it out before buying it, it's fantastic. All of these are excellent, you can also check which level you are looking for, try it......

One fitness video I enjoy is Carmen Electra's strip tease.... it's fun, gives you a workout, and comes in handy when U meet a cutie ;-) It's not super advanced either almost anyone can do it.
