I'm curious. Are most people just following the workout videos or are they using them in addition to their own routines?

I use the dailyburn videos almost exclusively for my workout routine. Now that it's warming up outside, I'll probably go running in addition to doing the videos.

More times than not I will do a workout everyday in addition to my elliptical, spinning or running routines. Sometimes with my kids I will do one workout per kid (I have 3) and that covers me for the day LOL

In addition. I'm an avid runner, so these videos are just part of cross training along with swimming, biking and my own occasional lifting workout at my work gym.
This site has been great though - I love the recovery videos, and the workout variations have helped give my running a huge boost.-
SnibbleSame here. I'm poor at stretching, so DailyBurn has been helping me fill in that gap on recovery days.

Yeah, I've been using the videos to change up my cardio a bit everyday, but I still do my regular weight routines. Thanks for the answers folks!

I exclusively use the videos M-F and then on the weekend I usually do some type of sport activity (soccer, hiking, bike, run, etc...).

Exclusive, I do as many videos a week as I can, sometimes 4, sometimes 14, just all depends on my energy level, but I'm not going out and doing anything else on my own, just DB.

As my stamina is improving, I find myself doing 2 videos a day, or else a video and running or spinning. Most days I exercise 60-90 minutes.

At the moment I'm just following these workout videos. Maybe I'll add something later on, but for now I'm happy if I work out here two or three times a week. Small steps work better for me :)

I am doing zumba classes at the gym five times a week--just started DB because I want to add 15-20 mins daily workout at end of day. Not getting enough arm work in zumba.

I've been using dailyburn very frequently, but my main workout is yoga and I prioritize that; I also run several times a week in addition to the videos here.
-
BawanaI mostly do the videos only but throw in some push ups ever other day.
I am thinking of doing some more aliptical once or twice a day.

I also go to the gym to get in some cardio, light weight training, and sometimes even yoga. I also have a Groupon for kickboxing and combat fitness, and a boxing class for which a friend and I recently registered -- so those things are in the mix for now as well.

I primarily use Dailyburn for my daily workout routine! But I also go to the gym to sit in the sauna room for 20-30 mins to help with sore muscles, intensify detoxification, and speed up my metabolism!

I'm marathon training, but I use dailyburn videos to get my strength training in. The core and leg sessions definitely help with my running form and speed.

I'm brand new to dailyburn, so I thought that I'd try working out the dailyburn way, at least for a while. I've been doubling up on the videos most days, trying to keep my exercise time in the 60 to 90 minute range. I usually do a more challenging work out in the morning and follow up with something lighter in the PM.
Great stuff so far. I'm very impressed!

I use the videos daily, but also work on my own routines in the evenings. My husband tells me i'm over doing it, but if i have the energy why not.

I was swimming three day a weeke for 2.5 years and was not losing any weight, and was talking to a guy at the YMCA, who asked how many days are you exercising, I said three, he said try to do more, I throw in one more day and did notice I was dropping but did not keep it up.

I plan to combine the workout videos with other activities ... depending on how much time I have to workout

I do the workouts in addition to a short run/weight session during week, bike or surf on weekends.

I either do DB workout or hit the gym... I am person who constantly needs a change... So I alternate DB work out with the gym...

Yup I'm following the videos at the moment. I've found I didn't stick with the program I was on though and I ended up mixing and matching depending upon my mood and energy level at the time. It keeps me motivated and seems to work pretty well for me. I do find I prefer the TBT stuff though. Good luck. :)

So far I have been using DB exclusively, but I have a trainer at my gym, and I will occasionally work out with him, and when it warms up I will get back to running as well.

I am using these in place of My Trainer Bob 60 minute DVDs, which are bit excessive after coming back from a slew of injuries from overtraining using them. They are also helping me with getting my strength back to hopefully get back in the pool to swim and to run again.

I am doing about everyother day Zumba with te TBT workouts. I find myself so soar that I have to do Zumba to work out the soarness. But Im going to try the recovery workouts next.

hbargerWow, don't know what happen on the original post, but oh well. I'm using DB as my main workout routine, while implementing more active lifestyle choices, like taking walking breaks at lunch and playing volleyball twice a week.

I use them as an addition to my own workout routines cuz I can also fill in with some great shorter workouts that I customize into my week. I love daily burn for that reason! The teachers are great and the previews are good at making your workouts...work for you.

I have used the videos in addition to outdoor activities, hiking, biking, walking the dog. Sometimes I do my main workout video but add on another 15 quick core or something to get about an hour workout daily. Minimum will be my main video.

I am mostly using these videos but I enjoy a run once or twice a week when the weather is nice. I HATE the gym and LOVE being able to workout at home!

I will be using these videos as well as running and training for my first 5k. That's about all I have time for in the mornings before a long work day. Maybe the occasional hike here and there. Also, running with my lab. He counts as a workout I think :)

Im a PT and do my own programming. However I find the Yoga, Mobility, and Release videos a great addition to my routine. :)
