My girlfriend likes to stay in shape. She lifts and runs, etc. However, she wants to mix things up a bit and is interested in aerobics. She was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good aerobics video tape/workout.

I always liked the Crunch fitness videos. They are fun and give you a good cardio workout.

Billy Blank's Boot Camp (www.billyblanks.com)

Great workout. Includes martial arts movements, stretching, push ups, squats... a lot of fun, and a lot of sweat.

The only videos I've ever used for exercise are Callanetics and a couple of yoga videos. But I *do* know an excellent website for shopping for them: Collage Video (http://www.collagevideo.com/) They have excellent descriptions, including level and how much time is spent on each portion of the workout. Also there are some customer reviews.

the Tamilee Webb "I want that body" dvd is pretty darn good. Two sections apiece for buns, abs, and arms. And no prissiness, which is a plus.

I like The FIRM's Transfirmer system...and I've heard great things about Cathe Friedrich (which I've been REALLY WANTING to try!!)

Cathe is your woman! She's fit as can be, ripped as hell and her videos will kick your ass. I own several of them, from step aerobics to weight training... she knows her stuff and is hardcore. Plus she's not all perky and annoying, which is nice. I hope you find something you like! You can read reviews of her vids in the forum on her site or at videofitness.com.

Hey--I just got a brand new DVD called Piladio-Kickbox Pilates. It's a mix of Pilates and Cardio. I love it because you burn calories with the cardio, then still burn calories as you move onto Pilates.

There are 5 different workouts on this DVD so you have a wide variety to choose from. You can do workouts that are 20min to the full workout at 50 min.

It's a lot of fun and definitely a great workout. I haven't found anything on the market that works like Piladio. Hope this helps!

I also own the Piladio DVD! I like it a lot--the instructor is really great and knows what she's talking about. The clip online shows a few seconds of kickboxing but none of Pilates. There is a 20 min Pilates segment on the DVD which has helped me slim down my hips and thighs a lot:)

It's definitely a full body workout that will have you sweating. I'm happy with the results I've been seeing from it.

I recommend Cory Everson's Get Hard series. I think it's absolutely fantastic.
