What other dvds are people using?

I like a variety, my favorite being P90X/ P90X+. Also Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, Winsor Pilates and yoga (Bryan Kest or Baron Baptiste). I do have lots of other workouts that I haven't used in a while- Billy Blanks, Christi Taylor, The FIRM, Buns of Steel, etc.
 
After discovering Cathe about 6-7 years ago, I gave up on everyone else (except for yoga). I used to do Firm and many others before, but none were a patch on Cathe.

I use a lot of itrain and cardio coach. I no longer like choreographed cardio. Apart form cardio-machines, I only like Kick-box or athletic-style cardio workouts.

Recently, I tried some other instructors and find these promising:
Tracey Staehle (I loved her Walking Strong and have pre-ordered her new Core and Kick Box ones)
Amy Bento (I tried Slo-Mo and though the leg work was a bit hard on my back unless I modified some of the exercises, I think she is very promising for creating fun but tough workouts. The rest of Slo-Mo was superb.)
Patrick Goudeau (Hard Work Conditioning - what a blast!)

I did not click with P90-X. I loved Tony Horton's personality, but I prefer Cathe's style of workouts.
 
I have over 200 workouts and do just about everyone. Aside from Cathe the ones I reach for often are Beachbody's Turbo Jam, P90X, Slim Series, and the Masters. I'm currently doing a P90 Masters rotation. I also love Barry's Bootcamp, Jari's workouts, Amy's, and I just preordered a couple of the Tracey Staehle workouts. I have lots of Firms but I don't reach for them that often.

Yoga is another fave but I don't do it as often as I should. I also love to take it outside and hike and ski on days when a long cardio is in order.
 
All I have is Cathe. I use to have all of the Firms but I sold them after I found Cathe. I do have a couple of pregnacy workouts but that is it. Whenever I look into buying someone else I end up buying more equipment instead. Right now I'm trying to make up my mind between platemates and paceweights. And I need a pullup bar.

I have Christi Taylor for lighter days or when I'm recovering from a cold (like now). I have Jari's Get Ripped DVD's and all of Amy Bento's stuff. I'm Netflix-ing Kelley Coffey-Meyer stuff to see what that's like. Haven't tried her yet. Lots of yoga, all different instructors. Cathe dominates though. No question. :)

I have all of the Turbo Jams. Love those for a change. I occasionally use Gin Millers too. The others are too few and far between to even mention... And there are A LOT of those too!

As well as Cathe, I workout with:

Gilad
Kelly Coffey-Meyer


I have tried a few others but didn't like them.

I've pre-ordered Amy Bento's "In The Ring", but I haven't done an Amy workout before.

For step, I really like Seasun Zieger and Patrick Goudeau. Most of my non-Cathe DVDs are for easy days, though. I like Tamilee Webb's Fit to the Hits and Cardio Blast and Crunch's Cardio Salsa, Fat Burning Party, and Cardio Dance Blast. I also have quite a few of my mom's old Kathy Smith tapes. I also like Shiva Rea's yoga DVDs, MTV Yoga, and Sara Ivanhoe's 20-minute yoga makeover. Hope this helps!
