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.

      Same here. I'm poor at stretching, so DailyBurn has been helping me fill in that gap on recovery days.

    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.

    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.

    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 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 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.

    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 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.
