best exercise dvds for new moms?

Hi! I am 2 and a half months PP and I have 10 pregnancy pounds to lose. I'd like to lsoe 5 more as well, so 15 total. I am tracking calories in my livestrong app, but I need help with exercise. I used to run a go to the gym a lot, but that's really hard with a baby and working full time. I power walk with the stroller when I can, but I think I need to do more dvds. Any recs?

I have the tracey anderson post baby workout and love it, but there is no cardio. I have heard good things about 30DS, but is 20 minutes long enough to make a difference in your body?

I'd love any recommendations or reviews!

    Check out Beachbody programs.  For beginners I suggest Slim in 6, 10 min trainer.  If you exercised daily b4 baby check out ChaLEAN Extreme, Hip Hop Abs or Turbo Jam.  Each program is about 30 minutes each.  My FAV ALL TIME program is ChaLEAN Extreme.

    I don't know if 30DS is enough on its own to get back into pre-baby shape but it's a great supplement. Plus on really hectic days a 20 minute workout is better than nothing. And it's not an easy 20 minutes either so it will be worth your while.

    I do insanity from beachbody and love it! I did it pre-pregnancy but it was too intense to continue past my first trimester. The workouts are all about 40 minutes so I can always fit them in when baby naps! It's super tough, but I would definitely recommend it. You probably wont be able to do it all at the beginning but work your way up. Good luck!
