How Could I forget??!!
Thanks WWWendy!! I forgot to add Firm Super Body Sculpt!! A quick workout. I've used the leg portion many many times and it works well in just 10 minutes with a 3 minute warmup and 3 minute cooldown. Or you can do the upper body part of Super Body Sculpt which is a 12 minute upper body workout with 3 minute warmup and 2 minute stretch. The Ab portion in Super Body Sculpt is 6 minutes with a 2 minute warmup and cooldown. This is one of my favorite Firms. Great for a busy woman!

May I add?
This is so full of helpful hints; may I add:
Quick Fix Total Mix DVD for 10 minute segments of abs, arms, butt and it is easily programmable right on the screen. 7 day solution-I love this tape! 2- 30 minute efficient and effective workouts, one cardio, one strength and Tracy and Michelle are 2 of my faves. Tamilee Cardio Blast (I think someone said that) I just got Tamilee Weight Loss and it looks great. Pick Your Spot Pilates; again 10 minute segments to choose from on DVD. I know some people's opinions of Denise, but the second segment of Fat Burning Blast really gets me a good workout in about 25 minutes (interval). |

For cardio:
CTX!!!! I do the cardio portions of these vids almost everyday!! Also, Leslie Sansone (videos that are 2 miles or less) are good for 30min (or less!) workouts... I also like Denise Austin's "blast away 10#" video. This tape has 2 20min workouts that are pretty solid. For strength workouts: Tamilee Webb's I want those series are all good. Each tape has 2 15min workouts. On a lot of days I'll do an arms segment and an abs segment for 30min of toning. For stretching: Tamilee Webb again... I love her Total Body Stretch tape (3 10 min segments). I also like Yoga zone "yoga for abs" and "evening stress release". These tapes (dvd's) have 2 20min workouts each. Michele |

fav short
Well, these may be more "efficient, less than an hour" than "short, and they are cardio or mixed (so forgive me, maybe I'm way off topic) but

I vote for . . .
MIS split in half - each 1/2 is killer! I do these 2x a week for a total of four short killer strength training workouts.
Kathy Smith's Lift Weights to Lose Weight (upper and lower split) is okay if you can take the whooping - more intermediate in nature. Also, I do the first 1/2 of Body Bar Energy Action Circuit with Mindy when I want 1/2 hour killer interval cardio. I also like the 30-minute Victoria Johnson video Victoria's HABIT, and the 30-minute videos Lethal Legs and Lethal Buns (lower only). ALWAYS have a Plan B.

Another suggestion
Robert Sherman's Body Wisdom. It clocks in at 26:30 from the beginning of the actual workout (not the yakking at the beginning) to the "namaste" at the end.

Here are my favorites. I apologize in advance for duplicating the choices of others, but for some reason, alternating posts in this thread are being rendered in little boxes, as if they were in some font that my computer doesn't recognize.
Any one of Cory Everson's Body Sculpting System tapes comes in under 30 minutes, if you skip the warm-up (I like to think of tacking these on after a cardio tape, so the warm-up isn't necessary). Of course, I second the selection of Cory's GHAS. Joyce Vedral, Definition series. Even if you do the Maximum plan, the upper body tape comes in at about 31:30, the middle body at 18:30, and the lower body at about 21:30. Franny Benedetto, All-Out Step (CIA 2202), either half of the workout. I'm sure that the hi-lo is just as good (and the two halves are just as short), but I haven't done it yet. Either of the first two sections of Rodney Yee's Yoga for Athletes Yoga for Stress release P.M. Yoga for Beginners If I think of anything else, I'll just hit "edit." |

Mandy mentioned all the ones I was going to but I thought of another couple of tapes -
Denise Austin - mat workout based on the work of J.H. Pilates - it's 2 20 min. workouts - the first is classic pilates - the 2nd is a yoga/pilates combo. Also, her Power yoga workout is good - again - 2 20 min. workouts - the first is a more advanced pilates workout and then the 2nd is a yoga workout. Her Pilates for everyone is 30 minutes - I like it - Paula Z did not give it a great workout and I agreed with her review but I just ignore Denise's over chattiness in this one. |
