I've noticed the same - I used to be resistant to streaming. Due to a combination of factors, including vendors getting better at offering less glitchy streams, my DVDs are gathering dust. I like the variety and have gravitated to some favorite YouTube instructors.

Maybe you'll return to a dvd or two in the future. It sounds like you're enjoying the streaming options so don't feel bad. I think we all mix up the different media options from time to time.

That's why I'm reluctant to give any of my DVDs away on vf roost or anywhere else. I feel like, one day, I'm going to want to use them again. It's just a weird thing for me because I've never gone this long not using ANY of them. And to make it worse, I don't miss them right now. All I'm thinking about is which BB program I can do next.

I've never tried either, but they both look interesting. I'm going to add them both to my "Try" list.

I was anti-streaming for the longest time because I felt like I had to have the physical DVD. I've changed recently and I actually signed up for Yvette Bachmann's workouts online right about a month before I started 21DFX. Haven't used her website since December. I'll keep it because I do like her workouts.

This describes exactly how I have been feeling lately. I started getting into YouTube workouts at the beginning of the pandemic when Jenny Ford started offering live step workouts, then soon after I discovered Cdorner Fitness, Kat Gates-Buettner and Giana Storey, and Fit Outside the Box. I can't keep up with all their new releases. My list of favourites just grew from there and I still keep discovering new channels. For a while I went months without using a singe DVD or VHS. Recently, I have started to make sure I use at least one DVD or VHS per week, just to relieve some of my guilt.

I worked so hard on building my collection, I just couldn't bear to part with it. Plus, the ones I have are great workouts and I still do enjoy them whenever I pull one out. Any workouts that I truly didn't like I have already removed from my collection.
