Most used instructors/series of 2020

[cjayd]

I don’t have an exact number count without going back through my daily workout notes, but I did rotations this year of Lauren Brooks Be Slam 2 (90 days), Dasha Anderson’s Summer Strong (2 months and extended more because of COVID) and Caroline Girvan’s 10 wk Epic program.

I’ve also been working out live with Dasha nearly every Saturday since March for her free strength and mobility class. I think I’ve missed it three times.

I also had several months where I used Tonique a lot and I’ve worked back into running once a week. I have a permanent back injury and had to stop running for several years so I’m ecstatic to be able to run five to seven miles once a week again. It’s not four times a week like I used to but I’ll take one day as it’s better than no days.

I'm too lazy to count things up, but looking at my logbook, I'd say my top 5 instructors were

PahlaB - YouTube only
Smriti (Pilates Nest) - streaming only
Michelle Spadafora (Faithful Workouts) - streaming and DVDs
Jessica Smith - YouTube and DVDs
Chris Freytag (GHUTV) - streaming only

Team Body Project- 14 workouts
Kimberly Spreen- 10 workouts
Chalene Johnson- 10 workouts
Jari Love- 8 workouts
Ilaria Montagnani- 7 workouts
Jenny Ford- 7 workouts
BJ Gaddour- 7 workouts
...and a whole lot of instructors that I did 5 or less workouts with. Looking at this list makes me think there are quite a few DVD's I can get rid of!

Wendy I had the opposite thought when I realized how many instructors got so little attention this year. Not that I had a bunch of workouts to purge, but that I had a lot of workouts that I need to get back to! Perish the thought of purging!

As with every other year Cathe is my go to instructor and her LITE and ICE workouts I used most often. KCM and Jessica Smith come in second and third. I did acquire two Jane Adams DVDs in the last months of 2020 and feel I will use these a lot in the coming year.

I'm loving everyone's replies! I have been doing this every year for a long time, and first got the idea here on VF.

I too have many many instructors who didn't make the Top 10 - and many whose workouts I didn't do in 2020 at all, for instance not one KCM though I'm sure she's been in my Top 10 in the past! I always find this interesting and sometimes it reminds me of workouts I can circle back to.

Thanks for playing!
