| Looking for something that provides good cardio with an emphasis on toning arms and midsection... Any great recommendations? |

| Insanity. Most of the moves target your core (and other parts). Very challenging, though. |

| Sounds scary (OP here). Haha. Maybe it's just what I need. |

| Jillian Michaels kettlebell DVDs are good |

| Insanity is pretty crazy--might want to YouTube the infomercial first! I have a Jillian Michaels (30 day shred) DVD and it's pretty good, especially if you can't commit a lot of time. The workouts are only 20 minutes, but they mix cardio/strength/abs in a cycle. |

I really like DVDs by Jari Love. I know some of them are (were? I haven't had Netflix for a while) available at Netflix or maybe your local library.

| Jackie Warner xtreme fitness - 20 minutes that truly count. I used to do Jillian Michaels dvds but her exercises hurt my knees (I read this complaint from other people as well). |

I'm currently doing Jillians 30 Day shred and it's bothering my knees. I'm going to google this Jackie Warner video. |

| Insanity. I love it. But be forewarned not to skip your electrolyte and vitamin replenishment drink when you're done. I ended up in the hospital w low potassium after doing these workouts too much. I now do it only twice a week and do gym workouts on other days, and this is much Bette for my body (I'm 44). |

I'm not a Jillian fan, so I prefer a program with Chris Freytag (used to be an ExerciseTV trainer) called 10 Pound Slimdown. Chris also does a Walking Cardio DVD that I like. If you are really intense, she does the 10 Pound Slimdown Extreme, which can also be found on YouTube.
A couple other trainers I found through Exercise TV that you might want to check out their videos- 1) Amy Dixon - I love her-she's adorable! I am even "Friends" with her on Facebook and she occasionally comments on things I post. I feel so special  She has a couple DVDs and YouTube videos, including Breathless Body and the Give Me 10 series.
2) Holly Perkins-She has something called Fitness360 3) Violet Zaki-I have several workouts of hers that I like that you can probably find on YouTube and I also have DVDs that I bought from Acacia-Weight Loss Cardio Kick and Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt My mom swears by Leslie Sansone's walking program, which is gentle on your joints but not as intense. A friend of mine teaches Booty Bare classes, which are inspired by Tracey Mallett's videos. Another good free source is a website called FitnessBlender. They just recently added a search feature that makes their site much easier to navigate by length and intensity of workout. |

I agree with the few comments about Insanity, but have you heard of Insanity Asylum Workout? http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/insanity-next-level-asylum-workout.do
