Default I really need help with an exercise routine!

My mind is just all jumbled with different routines to do...which days to do what, what I should be doing, etc. I was hoping that if I gave you guys an idea of what I have at home, you could help me devise an exercise plan. Right now, I'ver been doing mostly Tae-Bo, but I need to mix it up a bit!!
I have mostly Tae Bo videos...the Fat Blasting Series and the first Bootcamp series. I also have the NYC Ballet Workout and MTV Pilates.
I do like to walk with some running intervals.
I have a 10 pound weight, a 15 pound weight and two six pound weights.
I need to start doing a routine that I will stick with.
Do you guys think you could help me out? I really need some guidance here!!

How about a video 3 times a week (different video)

then twice a week walk with running intervals

and 3 times a week some weight exercises - upper body, legs, abs and back for example

I do love that NYC ballet video - very nice for stretching

Make sure you take at least one or 2 days off a week.

My schedule is similar (but not always) to:
Monday
run or weights at lunch - kickboxing class in the evening

Tuesday
run or weights at lunch - kickboxing class in the evening

Wednesday
weights at lunch - treadmill work after work

Thursday
2 hours of kickboxing in the evening

Friday
treadmill work after work or rest

Saturday
kickboxing or rest

Sunday
long run or rest

So if you split up your weights workout and your videos - say do walking/running in the morning and weights in the evening you can exercise 5 days a week and take the weekend off to sleep!

Oh yeah, and the most important thing is to make sure that you can fit it around your schedule, eg the reason I lift at lunch is because my gym is near work and sometimes I go for shorter runs before work - you can run anywhere!

cemetarysiren, I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner, I was away for a couple of days on vacation. Frus, has hit it on the nose with her recommendation. I do something similar to what she does...Some days I will do weights and cardio others I do only cardio, for me that's running btw, other days I do only weights... I don't do videos because I don't have the room in my living room... Do what works for you, write your routine on paper on a Sunday night and commit to it for the rest of the week, you seem to have a good variety of things at hand.... You can google workouts too .... Stumptuous.com is a great site for one... Hope this helps and don't be shy to ask more questions...

I like to do cardio at lunch and then yoga at night. I lost a lot when I was following Kathy Smith's Project You rotation where you worked for an hour every day. I kept it up for a long time subbing in different videos
Mon Upper Body Strength and 30 min Cardio tape
Tues Lower Body Strength and 30 min Cardio tape
Wed Pilaties and Yoga
Thur Upper Body Strength and 30 min Cardio tape
Fri Lower Body Strength and 30 min Cardio tape
Sat 1 hour power walk
Sun- REST

That was the first half
The second half was
Mon Wed Fri- Full Body Circuit (some of your Taebos might work here, also Crunch Bootcamp and some others)
Tue Thurs 30 min walk and 30 min Pilaties or yoga
Sat an hour interval walk.

So see if you can plug in your videos to either of those rotations.
