Some day I'm going to meet up with you for lunch, Joni. Then my life will be complete. Maybe at Trader Joe's?

You'd better practice your dodging skills, in case you have a sub-par pastrami on rye Joni-O'd in your direction! (Not that Trader Joe's would have a sub-par sandwich.)

The DVDs I have Joni-O'd most recently, and most often, is any Tracy Anderson muscular structure work (most recently Mat Workout). I can only get a few minutes in before my blood pressure starts to rise, and I feel a visceral response! It is a combination of the lack of cuing - inexcusable (I don't need a gabfest, but come on!) - and the feeling that I am wasting my time. I keep on trying because of the great results other VFers have gotten with her workouts.

I can do TA's cardio.

eta: Which raises the question - does Joni-O Joni-O anything other than workouts? What about when she was trying out pillows recently? Was there bedding being flung around the store?

That is a good question. Having never met Joni O. face to face, what other things does she fling? I'm kind of afraid. She could decide in a split second that she doesn't like ME, and fling me across Trader Joe's .

Does it count as a "Joni-O" if you've already done the workout, and usually like it, but for whatever reason it just wasn't the right choice that day and you give up? Or does it have to be a new workout that you just give up on?

Unfortunately, I just Joni-O'd (in the traditional sense) Shiva Rea's Daily Energy. I've been looking for 20-25 minute yoga workouts. I already have something by her that I like, so I was so excited to find this dvd with seven 20-minute sections. I'm not sure which section it was specifically, but I only got 10 minutes into it (and that was pushing it). I hope the other sections will justify my keeping the dvd.

Nope - any workout for any reason

But, but, there's an important question that I have not seen asked nor answered. [ominous music ]

... Our world is changing. We know it. We see it coming. Me, I'm one of the holdouts, but I know I'm going to go to the dark side eventually. And then, when we've all gone over,


HOW DOES ONE JONI-O A DOWNLOAD???


You can't just smack the Stop button. It's gotta have flair and zest and VIOLENCE , when you Joni-O something. We've managed it with DVDs even though you don't have the awesome experience of snagging and unwinding the tape... How do you do it with downloads? Joni???

I agree with this assessment of TA - can't do it and felt that I was wasting my time expecially since I never saw the great results. I have decided that I wasn't buying anymore. And I don't do TA cardio - that was more disappointing to me than the muscular structure work. I can jump around (Meta) in my living room on my own for 30 minutes - there was a complete lack structure that I couldn't stomach.

I absolutely hate to say this and was sorely disappointed and I usually love Ilaria, but I hated the new Powerstrike. I hate the music...it was difficult to hear a beat in this which I think is essential to kickboxing. Also, the set was awful but I coulda lived with that. I tried it twice. So bummed. I love her other workouts.

Burn it onto a disc and then hurl the disc across the room?

Hurl the icon across the desktop and into the recycling bin?

Delete it, and then bitterly defrag your drive to make sure it's dead?

I think first, download dramatic music like "Flight of the Valkries". Then while playing the dramatic music, punctuate the air above you with your index finger and then delete the workout. Take a bow and walk away?

Seems not as satisfying. A strong argument for the continuation of the DVD market!
