Not sure exactly what kind of videos you are looking for, but my favorite is "I want that body" by Tamilee Webb. It uses weights and is short (there are a bunch of 15 minute segments for buns, arms, and abs). I think it is really good. I also like the "Lift weights to lose weight" by Kathy Smith. It is a distant second though to the Webb video. Hope that helps.

Different videos have different "personalities" (ie the teacher may be too perky/serious, the routines may be too simple/advanced, you may love/hate the music, etc). My advice is rent some from a video store or library. Some might be a little old, but you can see which instructors/styles you like.

I also recommend getting a variety (some aerobic, some yoga, some pilates, etc) to vary your workouts so they don't get boring and give your body the best overall workout

Have fun finding ones you like!

The bellydance Neena and Veena Basic Moves and Fat Burning video is fun! I just did it for the first time today (as recommended by Spicey Momma!) and its great. No jumping around or anything like that but I definately can feel it (I am out of shape though). Its easy to follow which I like because I have ZERO coordination skills!

I really enjoy Tae Bo.

I know it seems like the trend has run its course, but I have been doing Tae Bo for years. I still love it and I see results after a week! It is high impact but the program starts with a basic video. There are basic and advanced levels. I also do yoga and run.

My issue is being consistent and sticking with the workout four times per week.

Good luck!

Another vote for the Firm sculpting series. I would definately make sure i get the recent ones though (fanny lifter and or sculpting stick). It's great! Im 17 weeks preg. and along with my growing belly, I can be excited about nice legs and toned arms!!!
