LOL, I empathize with you! Hi and welcome, Jessc! I started my fitness regimen with a gym membership (which I still have and use). Then I bought fitness DVDs and exercise equipment to use at home. I have no excuses for not working out . Some of my favorite workouts are Cathe's, too! |

Welcome, Cozzanna. You should find information on more DVDs here than you could possibly do! You might want to check on the section with Check Ins. They are groups where people regularly check in with each other. If you find a group you like, you can join (just by jumping in and posting). It might give you some incentive to do the DVDs.

Delurking myself
Hello all.
I am a longtime lurker who rarely posts. I started exercising to videos with a $50 copy (!) of Firm Volume 1 that I bought from an ad in Self magazine about 15 years ago. I have been using videos ever since, but my selection skyrocketed once I found this site -thanks everyone! I enjoy a variety of workouts, but this month I am trying to follow along with the Every Day in January goal, using mostly: - Firms. My favs are TT, Super Sculpting, and Maximum Body Shaping - CardioCoach - this has made jogging on a treadmill bearable, even fun, for me, which I never thought possible :-) - Yoga, mostly Lauren Petersen's CD and Sihva Rea's yoga sanctuary, which I have on my MP3 player, another purchase enabled by the discussions on this site and which I can't imagine living without now that I have one... I now live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my husband and daughter (pre-teen) and our newly adopted middle-aged dog. I generally work long hours, and being able to exercise at home really keeps me sane. I also go to the gym to run on the treadmill or take Turbo Jam classes (although I have not caved on buying these yet, as dealing with BeachBody always aggravates me). Currently I am waiting for Jari Love's DVD, and am shopping around for a Transfirmer set. Thanks to everyone here for all you have shared over the years. I have been introduced to so many workouts I never would have found otherwise. These have made an enormous difference in the quality of my life! -chris |

Woo Hoo!
I just recently discovered this list, and I am sooooooooo excited! I've been looking like something for this for a long time!
I'm 38, live in central Minnesota, have four kids (ages 19, 16, 6 and 3), am happily married, work 4 days a week as a paralegal/loan closer and am also a Stampin' Up! demonstrator (the job I LOVE). I've been exercising for 16 years, but in the past couple of months I "kicked it up a notch" because I want to be BUFF, BUFF, BUFF before hitting the big 4-0 in 2007. I'm tall and naturally slender (and yes, I am grateful!), but am carrying some cellulite and a little flab here and there that I want to banish in addition to toning up. My main goals are a flat stomach (which I lost after giving birth to my last child 3 years ago by c-section) and a killer butt - to make my hubby happy! I have a zillion videos, but have purchased and/or borrowed almost 20 in the past couple of months. I just discovered the Firm and Janis Saffell stuff. They're my new favorites. Am also going to be trying The Bar Method and Lotte Berk to see how I like those. Next on my list is to try stability ball workouts. Looking forward to making some new friends here!!
