That's what's happening with this shift toward cloud-based computing: You'll have access to everything, but you'll own nothing.

I was interested in Virtual Skogg until I saw the price and tried to view the (ridiculously short IMHO) clips after registering. I don't have the highest speed home connection, but I don't have the lowest speed either, and Skogg's clips spent more time buffering than playing. If that's any indication of how the workouts would play, I'm definitely not interested. There are many other less expensive sources of good kettlebell workouts. I know a lot of people here are more interested in follow-along workouts, but honestly, most kettlebell e-books are a better deal than Virtual Skogg.
I pay $9.99/month for access to Yoga Today and rarely have a problem streaming the practices. I can also buy any practice I want for $2.99 (and have done so many times). I store them on my laptop and on a separate backup drive. I've also downloaded all (I think) of Eoin Finn's practices. They're stored in iTunes as well as in a separate file on my hard drive and on my backup drive, plus as long as Eoin's website continues to exist, I can go to my account and re-download the practices.

I absolutely love the Skogg DVDs that I have. If a second set of discs were made then I would seriously consider purchasing them. I love Skogg as an instructor and I feel that the workouts are just fantastic.
Right now I rarely purchase new workouts, so $30 a month is a bit too much for me. I'll happily keep using what I already have. But I hope that those who choose to buy this love it! |

OK, back to Skogg 2.0... Looked through the rest of the clips now that I'm back home. I did have some stuttering, but it wasn't bad. I would probably have an issue if the group was not doing what he was in a regular DVD, but it's OK in this format. |

I will eventually get involved with this as my workout room is a project for this winter to change the television format so I can view live streaming, internet, etc.
I know many are resistant to this and you have a good right to be, but going forward this is the way video formats are going. DVDs will be around for a while but everything will be in virtual formats or clouds. Many have ipads, kindle fires, tablets, smartphones and all of that is cloud format. This is the way things are going. Constantly, changing.... |

I keep getting the 20 second clips in his "stream" link. Is anyone getting anything different? They are completely useless to me. TIA!
