What other exercise DVDs would I enjoy?

I do quite a lot of heavy weights in the gym and don't really enjoy the Shred or anything of that ilk but want some variation on my circuit cardio days. Can anyone recommend any decent home workouts I could try? My gym doesn't do classes and I hate running so need to get a little bit of cardio in a few times a week and this seems to be working, but I'd like to mix it up a bit.

Thank you.

Jillian M - body revolution box set has 3 x 30min pure cardio DVDs in it as well as 12 other 30min workouts that are strength based. Its quite pricey (£80 I think) but I managed to download 2 of the cardio ones from internet.

Have you tried fitnessblender.com? Hundreds of free workout videos of all different types. I really recommend them.

60 Second Promise is a good cardio circuit training DVD. There is some strength (but body weight stuff like press ups) but mostly cardio. Bob Harper (Jillian's 'other half' from the Biggest Loser!) does some really tough - but good- DVDs. Tougher than Jillian anyway. In terms of cardio, he has 'Bobs Workout' which is two 25 min workouts, with the first one being a killer cardio workout. He also has cardio conditioning which is longer and does actually include weights.

I second Bob Harper. His Pure Burn, Super Strength is probably the hardest DVD I've got - I'm still absolutely wasted by the end of it and I've been doing it for ages now. It does have a cardio element but low impact - it's based on reps till exhaustion with weights/resistance work. I've also got his Kettlebells one, which is less intensive (though maybe I should buy a bigger bell) and his Yoga one. I think I prefer him to Jillian now.
