Jazzercise: The Jazz Cardio Strength Stretch Series
The instructor for these is the perky founder of the Jazzercise empire. The videos are made available by SCV-TV in Santa Clarita, California.
- * Jazz Cardio Strength Stretch #1 -- 29 minutes
- Well, I didn't actually do this workout, but I tried.
It has 20 minutes of high-impact aerobic exercise (one person was doing a low-impact option) followed by a few minutes of strength work with hand weights, and then a few minutes of stretch/cool-down. In the aerobic portion, the music was very fast and the movements changed in very rapid sequences. I couldn't keep up. Adding to the problem was the fact that the full-screen option didn't work, so I was trying to watch them in a pretty small window.
This workout is probably fine for those who are more experienced, but difficult for beginners. Instructor: Judi Sheppard Missett - Jazz Cardio Strength Stretch #5 -- 29 1/2 minutes

Rumi's Women's Workout Routines
These exercise videos from Rumi seem to be a one-person project. I watched her abs/cardio workout and at the end we can see her walking forward to turn off the video camera.
The exercises presented seem fine, but the production is definitely on the amateur side. The biggest shortcoming is that Rumi often doesn't tell you what movement or exercise is coming next. She'll do a set of one movements, then go to another without saying anything (except for her steady counting).
Also, the music that accompanied the video was not in sync with the exercises and was rather loud.
But hey, it's free!
The only equipment required for Rumi's workouts are two small weights (and she says that water bottles will do just fine if you don't have dumbbells).
Rumi also offers other videos that she charges for on her website: Women Workout Routines.

GOODIES TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR WORKOUT
A good water bottle
Eco-Friendly Wide Mouth 25 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle - BPA Free, Brushed Metal
Amazon Price: $1.70 (as of 05/30/2012)
I like the idea of stainless water bottles instead of plastic. Actually though, when I exercise I drink my water out of my good old tea mug.
This one comes in a bunch of colors.
Hand weights
Valeo HW2 2-Pound Neoprene Hand Weights
Amazon Price: $7.97 (as of 05/30/2012)
These dumbbells come in a variety of weights and aim to be comfortable to hold.
There are free alternatives, though, to buying hand weights. I made my own homemade weights (click the picture for more information).
A heart monitor
Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor
Amazon Price: $33.00 (as of 05/30/2012)
- For men: 220 minus your age
- For women: 206 minus 88% of your age
