I use mine all the time. I have Peloton app and love all the walks/runs/bootcamps on it. I don't run so I adjust those to my level. I also will end a weight workout or any workout with a 10 minute walk to cooldown. This is especially if there is no cooldown. Just jump on it and walk. Then I can stretch.

Don't get me wrong, there were times it sat and noone used it. It is like the elliptical hubby had to buy as he was going to use it. He used it for a few months and now that sits. It wasn't cheap either. I used it once in a blue moon.

I love this annual thread.

Best:

Most effective physical therapist I ever had, and the home exercises she taught me
Pilates reformer sessions at physical therapy
Bintiva round stability disc
Sling Shot Mark Bell hip circle
YMAA Lee Holden DVDs - Strong Bones, Anxiety, Better Breathing, Energy & Vitality, Healthy Joints, Arms, Wrists & Hands
Completing my collection of available Jane Fonda DVDs

I didn't have any worsts, but I quit my free trial of Daily Burn early and gave up on Essentrics. I recommend both of those highly but they're just not a fit for my physical concerns and preferred methods of moving.

Best: Cathe LITE and Cathe LIVE. Also, I think I got some Tracie Long's this year, the last series, the Grand Totals. I really got into Tracie Long this last year. I loved her studio series as well but don't know if those were this year or last year or some other year. I am terrible at keeping track of that.

Worst: ??? I mostly stick to what I love, so no bad tries for me this year.

Pat, what do you do with the Bintiva disc? I bought one years ago to sit on at work but I haven't used it since then. Would love to put it to good use.

Best: Cathe Live downloads

Worst: Can't think of anything.

BEST:
I didn't buy a whole lot this year

huh. I wonder what I was doing? so weird for me. However, my best are:

core fusion 30 day sculpt
Ttapps (all of them)

WORST:
All those Jillian Michaels DVD's I got at Family Dollar. I was so excited to buy them, now they sit in my "probably selling or donating some day" bin. I haven't even had a twinge of a thought to pull them out of there. They are still in their shrink-wrap.

This is the second year in a row where I didn't buy a single DVD. I have hundreds. that said, I added into my streaming mix Studio Sweat on Demand as I have a spin bike and Millionaire Hoy's streaming site. I've been subscribing to Cathe since the start. All in all I now stream three sites and am really pleased with them all. They will all be renewed in 2020. Millionaire Hoy's site is full of workouts (hundreds and hundreds it seems) that are shocking my body in ways I haven't seen in a decade. I am slimming down instantly around my mid section. Finally! Love MH.

The only thing I purchased this year was a step and a hip circle...that's it! It's been a long time since I used a DVD.

Best purchases were:

Toniques, which I'm addicted to and didn't even think I'd like. I was originally inspired to buy them by Mary's $4.99 DVD sale. After that, I ended up buying almost all of the downloads from Sylwia.

Linda's Barlates Body Blitz Endurance series (especially the 100/110/120 series) and Flow series. These are great workouts and many are around 30-40 minutes so can be used on busy days or combined with another short workout. I get so much use out of these.

Worst: none this year!
