Any suggestions for a good fitness video or yoga video?

I am not much for exercise classes, and I was hoping that someone could recommend any DVDs that I could buy.  I'm more than 3 months out from my BMX and have all my range of motion in my arm back.  I do walk (my favorite exercise) but I'd like to tone my abs back up and build up my energy.  I have done well overall on my chemo and while I do have fatigue, it's only been what I'd call bad the first tx week.  I don't think step or high-impact would be for me since I had bunion surgery back in 12/11.  I don't have a Wii (I wish); I had to choose and got a Tablet instead.  Thanks in advance!

    One toning DVD that I really like a lot is Denise Austin's Body Makeover Mix. Three 15 minute workouts that you can do separately or together. Firm Upper Body, Lean Lower Body, and Tight Abs.

    I use several videos from SELF magazine (bought them on Amazon). One is yoga, one is abs, one focuses on legs/glutes, one is more upper body and one is general aerobics. They show both low and high impact versions of the exercises. I like that there are no complicated dance-type moves...I want to follow the exercises right away, not spend my first hour figuring out what the heck I'm doing. They are about 35-40 minutes long, although the yoga is broken into two 20-minute sections. The only problem is the dopy names--"Bikini ready, fast!" "Your best butt", things like that.
