Help with purchasing other workouts

[gogigi]

My husband asked me what kind of perfume I would buy myself if I were to buy myself some. Hmmmm...wonder what he's getting me for Valentine's Day? Anway, I told my hubby that I may order some new workouts instead. I want to cross train a little bit as some weeks I need a break from Cathe workouts. I'm looking for workouts with good music, maybe a fun factor, and workouts that are different compared to Cathe. I'm thinking more than anything I'd like some new cardio but I'm not sure. Do any of you do other workouts and if so what are they and what do you enjoy about them? Specifically I'm looking at:
Turbo Jam
Power 90 Masters
Transfirmer
I would love to hear your opnions on the above workouts and any others you have tried and enjoy. Thanks a lot!

When it comes to fun factor I turn to Christi Taylor. People either love her or hate her because of the complex choreography. However, some of her DVDs have 'move master', which goes thru the choreography for each segment very slowly. Once you get it, it really is a lot of fun and burns lots of calories. Well, even before I learn the choreography I still burn lots of calories just flailing around. It just isn't as pretty LOL.

Her music is the best, I like her personality, and her cuing is excellent. Just a warning though, after a morning workout with Christi you will find yourself humming the music all day long.

Thanks TK. I've checked out a few of her workouts from the library and I couldn't get them and for some of the moves I ran out of room. I'm sure if I learned the workout enough I could figure out a move to replace the moves that take up too much room. I didn't really click with her either but I'm thinking maybe some of her newer offerings may appeal to me. I will check it out. Thanks for the response!

I really like the Firm workouts. They're what I started with so I'm a little biased. They're a bit easier than Cathe's videos but I nice change of pace. The production is very good, the music is fun and the instructors aren't overly perky (which is what bugs me about most exercise videos.) The step aerobics are pretty basic in comparison to Cathe but I really enjoy the aerobic weight training videos. My favorite is Complete Aerobic and Weight Training. It's the video I put in when I'm having a hard time motivating myself to get off the couch. It's big-time fun.
