I got these for $.99 each:

Intensity
Crossfire
High Step Circuit
Great fines at a fantastic price! Enjoy! Crossfire is one of my favorite cardio DVDs.

Went thrifting looking for new clothes for my new promotion and an upcoming wedding I'm attending.

Kinda struck out there, but I did find:

Gilad, lord of the abs:
Abs on Fire
Maximum Abs
Core Challenge

Turbo Jam (the five workout one)

The Firm, tough tape 2 + 5 day abs

Ybb basic set (my copy got lost in my many recent moves)

All for $1.50 each.

Plus, I found a set of 5# dumbbells for $6 on clearance at the grocery store.

I need to move away from CA. I don't think I'll ever find dvds for $0.99 - $1.50. Good finds, all!

I haven't been to a thrift store since my last post (2/21), but I've been "thrifting" online at ebay, decluttr, and thriftbooks. I managed to snag one for $0.50 shipped using an ebay coupon, but most of my finds have been $3-4 shipped, which is what I'd pay at Goodwill and Savers and I don't have to leave the house.

i picked up CS Aging Backwards Mobility & Bone Strengthening at Saver's for $1.99. this might be the first time i have ever seen a CS DVD in a thrift store. i prefer Sahra over Miranda, but thought i'd still try it out.

at Savers, i saw Bridalicious Boot Camp by trainer Doug Rice - an 8 disc set for $4.99.

i also saw several DVDs at Goodwill - Keep It Up by Debbie Siebers, several Core Secrets with Gunnar Peterson that i don't usually see (Accelerated Training Camp, Training Camp) and Winsor Upper Body Pilates. our GW lists them for $2.99 each, and if you buy 2 you get 1 free.

at a used bookstore, i saw several sealed Natural Journeys workouts like the Yoga on the Ball and Pilates on the ball, Belly Dance, and a couple of Rainbeau Mars yoga videos - Pure Sweat.

Lucky you! I wish I could find that workout at one of my local thrift store :-)

Awesome day at the Thrifts, Jeanine!

I've been off of vf for a while, but not away from working out or the thrift stores!!! My finds have been weirdly sporadic: some days nothing at all, others, a couple of gems (but nothing like a CS!) Most recently, I picked up Gorgeous Core by Suzanne Bowen, a Ruah with her and Leah Sarago, and 1/2 of the Rodney Yee/Mariel Hemingway yoga set. Oh and my favorite, a Fitness Fav. dvd of Firm vol. 3! There is a vidiot somewhere nearby, who appears to be ditching her dvd's!

That's an awesome find! My thrift store occasionally has good fitness equipment...but never good DVDs. (I lie: once I found Shaun T's new dance program, but that's it!)

that's cool - i've never seen crossfire in a thrift store, and it's been a long time since i've seen any cathes in the thrift stores.

i had to trade for Gorgeous Core - you're lucky to have seen it. also FF Vol 3 - that's a very awesome find.

i forgot to mention that i saw a Zumba Rizor outside of the box, clean and in new condition in Savers. it didn't have a price on it. at the same store, there were an assorted number of neoprene dumbbells, many of which didn't have a matching twin. i also saw a "mini" peddling bike that you peddle when you're sitting on the couch. couldn't find the brand name on it. it was pretty heavy.

I finally went to a few thrift stores today but didn't buy anything since I already own what I saw or wasn't interested.

Barre 3 Studio Shape
Xtend Barre Lean & Chiseled
Weight Watchers Punch Kit - thought about it but I already have the pink gloves
Dance the Chakras
Barry's Bootcamp Booty Camp Workout
Anna Kaiser Happy Hour
as always, there were Tae Bo, yoga, and Jillian Michaels
