any new fitness items for Christmas?

bzar · 12-26-18, 03:26 AM

my sister

got me these cute capri/yoga pants with cut out mesh on the calves. i told her "wow, these look sexy."

she said make sure i try them on before taking off the tags since they're tight looking. she also gave me a GC to Ulta - our Ulta stores just arrived in Honolulu this past year, and i've never gone in there yet. i've read VF threads of the past that mentioned fitness items there.

i also picked up some DVDs for myself

like from the Fitness Favorites sale, Jillian Michaels' Lift and Shred, Yoga Booty Ballet Pajama Time, Forza II, and Cize Lose It from the BB sale.

Nothing!!!! My how things change - I used to be thrilled to be getting new Fitness DVDs for Christmas. I was thrilled, however, to get some old movies that I've been wanting for awhile. Can't wait to watch them - hoping they have captions as I'm hearing impaired and this is a constant issue for me. Yeah, I can hear it but I can't make out what is being said. It is beyond frustrating. Also got new headphones to watch tv with - so maybe that'll help.

Right now I'm very happy with my current collection. I also have some I haven't tried so New Year's Resolution is to get those done.

The only time I got a fitness gift was years ago when I told my DH I wanted
10 lb weights. We don't really exchange anymore, so any fitness gifts are from my secret Santa or I buy them myself

I am fine with that. I have so many untried workouts to use in 2019!

I got DVDs, but not fitness ones - I got a Lou Grant DVD set! I used to love that show and didn't even know it was on DVD. And I wish it was captioned, since the sound is fuzzy compared to today's shows and dialogue can be hard to make out. I have captions on the tv all the time without shame

Oh, they finally put that out?! I loved that show. I think there was some dispute with Fox over the rights to it for years that held it up. I have the whole Mary Tyler Moore series on dvd

Enjoy it!

I got tons of DVDs, including a lot from the Firm sale and Beachbody sale. I also saved Annie Smith’s yoga set to wrap up for Christmas. I bought them and had my husband wrap them up for gifts. I don’t need to be surprised, I just love new workouts. Sometimes my sister gets me workout clothes, but I didn’t get any this year.

I got one item. The slanted risers for my step. I didn’t ask for anything as I am happy with les mills on demand. I have been using this a lot

My DH renewed my annual subscription to Pilates by Lisa, and I purchased 2 of Jessica's new DVDs, Jane Adams yoga DVD and Boho Transform 14-day program for myself. They're all combination of Christmas and birthday presents for me since both occasions are only a few days apart. I think I'm covered for a while.

My mom got me an Amazon gift card, so technically it's a fitness gift

. I'm window shopping right now to see what I want. We are out of town so I don't know what Big Bubble got me. Hoping it's a barbell set. And of course, the Cathe set, but I don't think it's been delivered yet.

ETA: Forgot that my mother DID get me a fitness dvd

But she also got me a Temptations concert dvd, so me and Big Bubble were completely
excited over that lol!

I didn't get any fitness gifts, but I gave DH a new Fitbit Charge 3 and a workout bag for the gym. And yes, he wanted both of these.
