Anyone other exercise video fans?

I enjoy using exercise videos and dvd's. I like being able to work out at home without the expense and hassle of having to go to the gym. I like having the variety one can have with the videos and I am part of an on-line forum where we swap old ones and talk about new ones My favourite instructors are Leslie Sansone and Tony Horton.

Many of the videos come with rotations, and I have found that I like ethe variety and have trouble sticking to them. But I do like having a structured plan, so I was happy to find a compromise that worked for me. Someone on my forum suggested that instead of doing a long rotation, one could structure their routine using 'theme weeks' instead. You commit to using the same instructor for as week. You can do any workout by them that you want each day. At the end of the week, you pick a new instructor and do a week with them. It is like following a rotation, but does not last as long

If anyone has any questions about exercise videos and wants suggestions or recommendations, feel free to ask me.

I'm a total video workout fun! And my Top of the pops is DEFINITELY Mari Winsor and her Winsor Pilates: Awesome! I didn't try those you mention, what type of workout is that. I found I enjoy most pilates and yoga, although I have it all: Tae Bo, Aerobic, step aerobic, belly dance (interesting), tai chi , etc. I found that pilates did a total makeover of my body. And everyone noticed it too. And Mari's is just 20 minutes long, so you can't say that you don't have time for that.
Lately I've been doing some sports too, but I don't intend to give up my home pilates. No way!

I have two Winsor Pilates but I don't use them much. Leslie Sansone is my favourite, it is walking-based aerobics, simple to follow but I get a good workout. Tony Horton is a bootcamp-ish guy, he does straightforward weight work and cardio, plyo etc. He has a fun personality. I also have workouts from The Firm, Gilad, Quick Fix, Joyce Vedral...
