Just for the record...I do hope they are all we are hoping them to be. I will wait until all of you who have already ordered, give reviews/opinions. I usually wait on purchases anyway so it's not like I'm denying myself anything. I'm just putting it off for a bit.

Probably a very wise move, Tina. (From someone who caved, lol)

we can hope! Also this would allow an option for a seperate w/u and c/d section and a blender option? We can hope, right!

The description for this product at QVC is "Stephanie Huckabee's PowerFit Total Body 5 DVD Workout." When she discusses PowerFit on her blog, she refers to DVD1 and DVD2, etc. I don't think there's any doubt that all the workouts are NOT on one DVD.

the qvc picture shows 5 discs. 20x5 = 100. if they were all on 1 disc and programmable, i would not hesitate to buy this.

the other thing is - if it's just stephanie doing the workouts with no cast, would i be bored? the youtube clip is the same clip as they show on her site, and you see 2 other cast members, but it's not a guarantee that WYSIWYG.

take Power 90 for example. the clips they used to show in the early days shows this cool industrial set w/techno music, but the workout itself was just tony and 2 cast members in a white room w/no music.

I don't think Stephanie would do something sneaky and mislead us with what the workouts look like. The clips look like like the actual DVD footage. The pics are also from the DVDs and show background exercisers. The set does look boring but looks the same as most videos these days (Jillian Michaels, Shape, etc..)

I don't mind if they come on separate discs, I think if they were all on one some people would complain about that too. It's easier to trade away any workouts you don't like from the set this way. You can always put them on one disc using the computer.

did she say this in her blog? i haven't read her blog. if so, great.

in this day and age, if you bother to put a clip anywhere, you want the customer to have a clear picture of what they'll be buying. when you click on each of the 5 clip links on her site, they're the exact same thing, and she's just talking in general about the workout.

i'm sorry if i'm bursting everyone's bubbles, but i like stephanie - have always liked her even when she was stephanie corley from the classic firm days. she was one of the few firm instructors who posted on the very old firm forum. and she's doing the vidiots a huge favor offering it to us on qvc at a great price.

the pictures she has on facebook have 2 b/g exercisers. One of them is the blondish gal from Jillians new w/o's. Since they are pro b/g exercisers Im sure those are pics from her new w/o's...

I'm the same way as well. For something like this I would do as an "add on" and skip the other warm ups/cool downs.

Interesting about the WU and CD. My motto is always 'wWhy not just ask instead of speculating?' - which is what I'm going to go to Facebook and do.
