Attention Lurkers/New Members/Reintroductions: Please say Hi! We want to talk :)

Another semi-lurker here.

I discovered VF around 2009 when it was mentioned on the old Collage forum.

Fitness background: I worked out with Jane Fonda in my 20s (with her cassette tape and hardcover book), got into fitness videos in my 30s (mainly Jazzercize), slacked off in my 40s, and returned to fitness in my 50s. Now I’m in my 60s. How did that happen?

Favorites: I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Leslie Sansone because she was responsible for getting me back to fitness. I also like Jari Love, Kelly Coffey-Meyer, Gin Miller, Ellen Barrett, Jessica Smith, and Joyce Vedral (mainly her books).

Summer workout plan: I was injured last year and barely worked out, and now I resemble the cat in my profile photo. So I’m returning to what has always worked for me in the past: split weight training. I upgraded my weight bench recently and am doing the regular routine from Joyce Vedral’s book Fat Burning (1991), which features giant sets. For my 66th birthday next month, I’m going to buy myself a new barbell.

ETA: I love Jane Adams yoga for flexibility and balance!
