Pm'd you , Laura.

I checked one of the DVDs out of sheer curiosity and I was surprised how close to P90x it felt.

I don't think a bad set to have at all and am glad I gave in to my vidiocy.

Here's some examples of my restraint...(feel free to laugh at me! )
"hip hop abs" sealed set of 3 with some paperwork...had in my hand...put back because I don't click with him...so why am I considering just because it's $2.99

"10 minute trainer" ok I already have these...don't reach for them often...but this set had the paperwork, to go workout and measuring tape! $2.99 Aack!! Linda! You will never use this!! I walked away when I came to my senses.


I forgot I also saw in Goodwill some Turbojams sealed but with 'made in mexico' stamped on the back. I almost but but resisted bc I remembered that I don't often reach for the couple I have now.

But curious if anyone else has seen these made in Mexico Turbojams.

I love my turbo jams! But I have never seen any with "Made in Mexico" on them. Dubbed in Spanish? Fake Beachbody copies? I'm curious if anyone else responds about this.

I found Body Groove Delicious Dance 2 dvd set today at Goodwill. I noticed it had a scratch on one of the DVDs and asked the checkout girl if defective DVDs are returnable. When I showed her the scratch she let me have it for 59 cents. I’ve never tried a Misty Tripoli workout and now I have 5 to choose from -if they play properly. Keeping my fingers crossed that they do :-)

I found some of the Body Grooves a few months ago. So very different but fun and freeing to do your own thing. Hope your DVD plays well.

I was almosy hysterical with joy when I spotted a bag of hot pink balls in a corner of Goodwill...it was brand new The FIRM 2# sculpt balls with logo handles ( they appeared in one video with Rebekkah), along with a second set of 1# balls all for $6.99. I have been floating on the euphoria of that score for weeks!!!

Awwww ... that's how I feel when I find something!!

(And I wouldn't even know what those look like so would have walked past those if I saw them. Glad they went to a happy home!)

Enjoy!!

For years in my area, I've seen people (who don't look at all like exercisers) scooping up everything off the shelves, I guess to sell on ebay or something.

I'm going to try really hard this year to not buy a dvd that I will never use just because it's a great deal. So very hard to just walk away!

That's a great deal Karla! So happy for your find! Hope you enjoy them!

I don't know how many VF's have Movie Trading Company near them but I have found several deals there. The downside is that the dvds are not returnable.

There are people who exercise who do not look like they exercise. I am likely one of them. You never know!
