Ditto! I did better than usual this year because of my long injury and illness hiatus.

Most of what I picked up was at thrift stores or Half Price @$0.50 - $3.99 each on VHS:
-4 old Firms (Vol 6, Lie Down & Workout, Basics Abs, Buns & Thighs & NSTAM)
-6 of the Slim in 6s (both versions of SiU, RiU, BiU, Slim & 6 Pack and Slim & Limber)
-1 Karen Voight Stretch

As far as full price retail purchases, I bought seven videos for myself
-Vol 4 on DVD
-Crunch Cardio Salsa
-Samba Party Rhythm Celebration
-KS Latin Flavor
-Fitprime Metaboost/Flex Posture
-Fitprime Lean
-KB Push Pull & Steamin' Cardio

and one for a friend:
-30 Day Shred

...for a total of 19.

Hahahahahaha!!! Like I could count them LOL!

Fortunately I sold about as many as I bought. I have a tendency to buy DVDs do them once, and then sell them.

This thread reminds to do what I've said I"ll do every year since I became a vidiot:

-if I want to buy something, write it down and wait a few days-figure out if it's anything new or different from what I already own
-if I buy something, write it down and keep track of how much I spent
-if I sell something-write down what it sold for


Maybe that would help me acquire less next year!

You know, I tried to do that for 2009 and just got discouraged. I also included equipment and postage, and it was kind of overwhelming.

I guess I should consider postage as a "freebie" since there is a sunk cost anyway and I'm just trying to salvage a bad purchase. Yeah, that's it.

Rose,

I'm not going to bother to keep track of trades. That would be overwhelming!
I like your logic, though

Take care,
Sherry

This year I bought:
Shock Cardio
1 Jari Love
3 Jillian Michaels
3 Gilad
1 Michelle Dozois

I bought two or three last January but that was practically last year, so it doesn't count.

I haven't bought a single video this year. I did, however, just buy a Fluidity bar off of Craig's List for $50. Now I need bar workouts!!!

Wow, I'd guess about 30-35. I've made 4 or 5 purchases from Collage, each with at least 5 workouts, then I've purchased a few more at local stores. I bought Gold's Gym and Wii Cheer specifically to use on my rebounder. I also ordered a couple of things from QVC.

I didn't keep track....I'm just getting back into working out again after a long period of health related issues, so I needed some new things to spark my enthusiasm...and also needed some shorter length workouts I could do in the mornings before work. Before this year, I hadn't purchased for maybe 2 years.

Not as many this year, as in previous years.

From what I remember...

Pre-ordered Cathe's Shock Cardio
P57
Margaret's Fight Age with Strength (QVC)
Margaret's latest Muscle and Grace Pre-order
Stephanie's PowerFit (QVC)

I'm sure there are a few others, but my memory is failing me! I guess I'm in denial this year, LOL!

this year & last year's purchases are a blur to me. i know for sure though that it is under 30 workouts--got a few "sets" and then some individual dvds. i did sase a lot too, so i'd have shelf room.
