Well, I have this board to thank for tempting me to buy videos yesterday! I put in an order for a WHFN DVD yesterday (it's on back order) and am watching a Janis Saffell video on Ebay. I think you all are going to be a bad influence on my credit card!

Thank you all for your warm welcomes! I already like it here and feel very comfortable!

I've been a lurker for years now, mostly to come and see what the new releases were. I was an aerobics instructor for many years and specialized in advanced step. Became a personal trainer at the gym I worked at and loved that too. Had to go back to work after my husband died suddenly. I just didn't make enough money in the fitness world. I'm Ok, but just taking one day/month at a time. I gave up my aerobics classes so I could spend more time with my children. I miss going to the gym but everyone there seemed to feel sorry for me and got to a point where I didn't want to see the looks of pity anymore. So for now exercising at home is the best for me.

Yea, another convert. You will love it. Have fun picking out all the goodies and finding your place in it all.

Hi Fitcrazed and welcome!!!! Glad you decided to delurk!

Hi Fitcrazed! Welcome!

I'm only in my second month and have found the check-ins keep me diligent, the 'debates' can be fun, and as you've been quietly lurking for so long you already know there's lots to learn!

Have fun

I finally delurked. This site has gotten me so motivated to return to working out at home. I've been doing Denise Austin for so long & was frustrated with her cueing, attitude, etc. I didn't want to waste money on videos I didn't like. Then, I found this site & WOW!!! I'm turning into a vidiot pretty quickly. I love reading everyone's recommendations.

Thank goodness we got saved. If I had left it to my mistakes also, I don't think I would venture into home exercise again but I did. I'm learning that it can be done. Every day I'm here and it is very motivating and reasuring that it works.

Welcome JimmiesMojo!! This IS a great site for motivation and for finding decent workouts - I too was in a DA rut (she's so proud of me!), but... (use mother's warning voice here) you needn't go on a silly spending spree, just look for what you want (step, weights...), decide, then buy. I'm poor, so I MUST be careful!
