do you ever tell people outside of your own family how many fitness DVDs you own?

...other than VFers and other online forums?



the reason I ask is they're doing an ice breaker game at work, and the coordinator asked everyone to list 5 facts about yourself. I usually like to respond with off-beat, interesting, and true facts!

but I'm stopping short of listing that fact for this response!!

I have mentioned it to people but they usually just sort of ignore it. Unfortunately most people just don’t have any interest in fitness. I don’t recall ever getting any noteworthy reaction from anybody. Now, what they may actually think when I tell them I own about 700 fitness DVDs is another story.

I don’t think anyone besides my husband even knows I own exercise DVDs, and he has no clue how many (and doesn’t care to know).

I posted on VF that my aunt and SIL own lots of movie DVDs that eclipse my collection.

No, I don't. My SO knows I buy lot of DVDs, but he doesn't know how many I've, I've told her sister about some fitness DVDs, because she was interested in doing something to lose weight, but she has no clue how many I have.

Me too! If other people knew how many I own (easily over 1000) I think they'd be horrified.

This is not information I share even with my family. Guess I'm lucky they don't barge in my room.

They think it's weird enough that I work out to dvds.

Knowing how many I've tried over the years? How many I still have?

How few of that number I actually use? Way, way TMI.

They just don't need to know.

I have. They think I'm weird.

I think it is weird to not own exercise DVDs.
