I finally previewed some of these today in the hopes of trying one in the next week or so. I am thoroughly disappointed in the amount of cloudy ones! The states that I were hoping to be bright and sunny aren't, notably Florida and Hawaii. The ocean is nice, but it's cloudy and gloomy in Michigan for a large portion of the year and I was hoping for a lot more sunny locations in these. I love Jenny and I'll try a lot of these when my knee heals but kind of a bummer for the price.

The clouds don’t bother me - I’m just happy to have so many outdoor settings. And you will find quite a few sunny ones, too. I think the price is good.

If I could tweak these at all, I would make some of them faster. They all seem to be 130 bpm. It would be nice to have some at 140 bpm, 150 bpm and 160 bpm.

But I’m not complaining - really happy to have these.

Oh the clouds makes it even more enticing for me! I always wish the Virtual Actives had more cloudy ones.

I did the Maine walk this morning. I love the Maine coast and lighthouses! I live in upstate NY and we go to southern Maine to vacation for a week every summer. We stay in a town about 1/2 hour drive from this particular lighthouse. The walk and the scenery was a nice bright spot in my day! Trying to decide now whether to keep following the Eastern seaboard, to follow Jenny's numbering system, or to just select states randomly. Decisions, decisions!

I also wished for more sunny ones. I have been marking in my notes which ones have sun. The Michigan walk is nice and sunny. My notes say "sunny city". I wanted to make notes on the ones that have sun because with so many workouts, I'm sure to forget when I do them again.

Yesterday I did walk 46/50 so only four more to go!
I like many things about the walks and Jenny's instruction is excellent, so altogether I'm very pleased with this program though I sometimes wished the camera work would not be so static.
It would have been nice to see a wider angle of the scenery from time to time, especially during those walks where absolutely nothing is moving in the background.

Now that I have only a few to go I wish the Step Across America was available. The "Coming Soon" notice on the website has been there for many months.

I did Vermont yesterday. (3rd out of 50).
I enjoyed it. They are easy to do, easy to modify, and I love Jenny's lead style. So far, I'm very happy I got the set.

This is me and the answer is CLEARLY no
That said, er, um, how are these DVDs packaged? Just wondering, you know, if I bought them, which I won't, because I so don't need them, then how much space would they take up, hypothetically...
