Beginner Workout DVD Recommendations

I have a pretty decent home gym and I have bought a few workout DVDs. I have tried Plus Size Cardio Kick, which is 33 minutes of nonstop cardio. I don't really like it because I find the footwork to be very confusing, and 33 minutes a bit too much for someone JUST restarting exercise after 5 years. I have Jillian Michaels Beginner 30 Day Shred and I LOVE IT. I LOVE circuit training. I feel like I get the most out of the exercise... cardio and strength... and I am not killing myself with 30+ minutes of straight cardio. I also have Total Stretch by Jessica Smith; I haven't tried that yet.

Anyone have any recommendations for good circuit training DVDs? Especially ones for beginners. I have plenty of weights, etc, to complement the workouts if needed.

I also really enjoy yoga, if anyone has some good DVD recommendations there. Nothing too advanced yet. Or maybe a staged approach like Jillian Michaels does.

Nothing Zumba-y or dance-y. I am not that coordinated and I get easily confused. LOL. The only one like that I ever liked was Shaun T Hiphop Abs and I lost that DVD and now it is expensive!

I subscribe to Beachbody on demand. They have such a wide variety of programs. I’m currently doing Liift4 it has weights, cardio and abs and is only 4 days a week. I’m loving it. Just started a second round.

I recommend Yoga with Adriene on YT for yoga. She's fantastic and has been making videos for years so she has something for all levels of ability.
