Gams, I think that's the workout that came with the Danskin dumbbell set

I used points and picked up two Cathe Fit tower workouts, BOSU mobility workout and a Tim Culwell step workout. Love the unusual workouts Mary has !!

Thanks, fatkat, for reminding me about the sale!!

Thanks - I went ahead and ordered it from Thriftbooks. I had a free item coming to me.

I believe this might have been a Danskin workout on DVD and could have been part of a kit with dumbbells.
Slim & Trim is compiled in its entirety on Gin's "Build Up Your Muscles" DVD and also on youtube. BUYM contains 4 workouts - dumbbells, resistance tubing, weighted balls, arm + ankle weights.

The start/end times are:

0 to 53 - Dumbbells
53:45 to 1:45 - Resistance tube
1:46 to 2:35 - Weighted balls
2:36 to 3:26 - Arm and Ankle weights

I had not heard of it before, either. From my research, I think it was part of a Danskin dumbbell set. Looks like it will be less intense than regular Gin, but I don't have it yet. I figured at the prices I was paying for mostly used or going, going, gone workouts, things were worth trying. I don't do streaming and Mary does have a lot of obscure and interesting stuff nowadays.

Thanks, Jeannine.

From the cover and description on Amazon it looks like there is a cardio segment as well as dumbbells.

Gemini, the Gary Bromley Yoga was a pleasant surprise to me. He is calm, assured and gentle.

I’ve never had a problem with the odd DVD-r in my collection except for a couple from Linda. I bought them directly from her site because I wanted to support an instructor here in Australia. At first Linda encouraged me strongly to download instead of purchasing DVDs but I resisted and bought two. I have only ever tried 2 of her workouts out of the 11 choices because the DVDs pixelate badly. I never had a chance really to see if any of her workouts suit me because I was seriously fed up.
That was many years ago and I have ordered 3 of her workouts from the sale this time hoping her media quality has improved.

One of the benefits of getting an actual DVD vs. a download is that the DVDs (and hopefully the DVD-r versions) have premixes on it. you have to read the description carefully and confirm with the instructor/company that you're getting the premixes on a DVD. This holds true for other instructors such as KCM and Cathe.

I had talked to Mary at Total Fitness DVDs and she confirmed that she'll replace any DVD-R's that stop working

Thought I'd mention, I have purchased or traded since 2019 for Barlates and purchased other DVDrs from Mary (like Culwell) and never had any issues with them to date.

But I was initially hesitant as well.
