I need your best & fastest workout routine!

I've got about 30 minutes or less everyday and need a good, quick workout plan. No gyms involved, so if y'all know of any amazing videos or exercises that I can be doing from home, please let me know.

I need to do a bit better with my eating but mainly it is the exercise that I need. I want to lose 30 pounds.

Thanks!

I would do the Jillian Michaels Shred videos. They're brutal, and less than 30 minutes each. You can buy cheapo hand weights or even use soup cans.

If you have On Demand, there are usually some good videos on the Exercise TV channel. I also like Jackie Warner.

Jullian Michaels 30 Day Shred.  I could not even think about doing this 30 days in a row, but I have done it about 2-3 times a week for the past few months and can see the results.  It is less than 25 minutes with warm up and cool down.

Are you familiar with crossfit?  Most of their workouts (WOD's) are under 30 minutes.  You can google 'travel crossfit workouts', that should provide lots of options that don't require a gym or weights.

I agree with pp's....Jillian Michaels 30-day shred is short but effective

If you're interested in power yoga, Baron Baptiste has an awesome audio CD set. There are three 20 min sections (vinyasa, core and hip), and one long 70min workout for any days you can do something extra. Also, yogajournal.com has many that you can download (either free or purchased); Jason Crandall is good if you're just getting started. Shiva Rea and Bryan Kest are also some of my favorites. Vinyasa or power yoga is a good way to include full body stretching, toning and balance in a traditional aerobic/weights routine. A 60min power workout can be equivalent to jogging the same time in calorie burn, so don't be fooled that yoga is just for stretching and relaxation; there are plenty of ways to sweat too

Ive also heard good things about the 30 day shred but never did it myself. Prior to joining a local gym I did the 10 minute workouts from Tony Horton (is that his name?) of P90X fame.You can do just 10 minutes or add the videos together to get a longer workout. It includes cardio, abs, yoga, and various strength training options and all you need is a resistance band. I thought they worked really well but were high impact on my joints--am I really feeling this old at 30 years?!

Great ideas, thank you! I do have on demand through my cable, so I will have to check out this Exercise channel. Didn't even know it existed

I'm excited to get started so I can shed some of this darn weight! I want my clothes to fit right again!!!

I have 3 of Jillian Michael's DVDs and they kick your butt. I also have the 10 minute workout and liked it

Another fan of the 30 day shred. Also, I like the Nike training club app on the iPhone.

Ditto Jillian Michaels stuff...incorporating reps of weights and a million "burpees"...

Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred is amazing. 3 levels of 22 minute workouts - includes warm up, cardio, strength, and abs, plus cool down. All you need is a mat & small weights. I did it at home for 6 weeks before my wedding, every other day, and lost 2" & 8 lbs - which is a pretty impressive weightloss since I was already a healthy weight, just trying to fit into a wedding dress I had bought more than year before big day. Good luck!
