Wow!

I noticed that the other site mentioned, www.exercisevideosreviews.com, no longer exists - hope that doesn't happen to us!

The other site was run by VFer PaulaZ. It was a fantastic database of exercise video reviews. She did complete breakdowns and even added form pointers. We all kept asking her to put them in a book. I wonder where all that great information went?

Paula hasn't posted in quite a while...

Interesting to see the prices. Seems pretty cheap for the time. I think movies on dvd were going for an average of $20.

Thanks for posting! Super cool to read.

And looks like now you can get the Cathes mentioned together for less than they were separately.

Thanks for posting this! So much fun to read.

It seems to be the end of an era. I am having a hard time letting go as I continue to be obsessed with workout dvds into my 50's. I still want to talk about them and read about them! I will so miss VF when it is gone. It has been a major part of my life for 2 decades. Not a week has gone by where I haven't checked in.
Always fascinated with everyone's posts!
