I don't only do Jillian WOs. In fact, I'm a workout video addict and have a ton of different WOs. What I do is determine what a particular DVD is targeting (cardio, strength, or flexibility), and I rotate through them like that, doing two short workouts a day. For example, Monday I did a strength workout in the morning and a flexibility workout in the evening, Tuesday I did a cardio workout in the morning and a strength workout in the evening, and today I did a flexibility workout in the morning and will do a cardio workout this evening. I get great results this way and seldom get bored. When I feel like I'm not getting enough "muscle confusion," I change up the ratios, like two cardios to one strength and one flexibility or one cardio to two strengths and one flexibility and so on.
If you were doing exclusively Jillian's stuff and wanted a rotation like that, I'd consider 30DS and BFBM to be cardio, NMTZ and the abs WO to be strength, and Yoga Meltdown to be flexibility. The Biggest Loser WOs are mostly cardio. You could also add in some Jackie Warner, Bob Harper, and even Cathe Friedrich videos if you wanted, since their WO styles are very similar to Jillian's.
