7th time's a charm? (um...nope)

alisoncooks · 07-13-12, 01:47 PM

I think I might have written this post before...which just goes to show that I don't learn...

I am drawn to the idea of Classical Stretch. Over & over.
And over & over, I realize it's not for me.

So far, I have owned & tried:
Season 4
Season 6 (um...2x)
Miranda's Arms/Abs/etc/etc
Sahra's arm/ab/etc/etc
Sahra's Athletes stretch
Miranda's Express workouts

It just doesn't work for me, and yet I keep going back for another try...

What dvd/instructor/genre do you really-really want to like, so you try it over and over.... but your feelings about it don't change?

Or am I the only one insane like this?
(At least I can be comforted in that CS trades well...)

Chalene. I want to like her, but she just doesn't work for me.

Ellen Barrett! I love HER, but I have never enjoyed one of her workouts.

I trade for them, then trade them away every time!

(but I

Classical Stretch, lol)

She is the first one that popped in my head too.

Yoga. Any of it. I like the idea of it... I do like how I feel when I am done with it (usually), but I just don't like doing it.

But have you tried Season 8? I hear that one is a favorite and different than previous seasons.

I love Sahra's Athletic Stretch, but rarely do I have a full hour to devote to stretching. I have her newest Eccentrics, but haven't opened them up yet. I keep reading raves and need to try it soon!

well at least you won't have any trouble selling or trading them!

I'm drooling over sahra's (already have miranda's!) I didn't click in '03 nor did I click a few yrs ago but now I've clicked...at least for about a month I have!

Ellen Barrett. She seems like a nice person and all, but her workouts just don't do much for me.

Well, I'll add Ellen to my list as well.
She's incredibly charming and lovely, and I want to like her workouts, too.
Unfortunately, they make my knees sore....

KCM. I love her workouts for about a month and then never, ever want to do them again. Trade or sell them. Others talk about how great she is. I get a few. Love them for a month...you get the picture. I think this has happened three times.

I've tried CS twice and not liked it either.
