Getting To Know You... - Page 3

Where were you born? San Francisco

What is your newest fitness toy, passion, or interest? Nothing big, but I got a door gym (and surprised myself 'cause I can do a couple pull-ups!) and a play ball for my Squeeze workout.

What big (or not so big) plans do you have for this summer? I'm taking my boys to Puerto Vallarta and meeting up with my best friend from high school who now lives in Texas. We're both single moms (she has a teenage daughter) and are sharing a condo there.

What is one thing you love about VF? I can talk about my workout DVDs and people understand my interest! In real life, conversations like that usually fall flat and I get a glazed look from people. You all have cost me bunches of money, but it was all well spent.

Actually, the one we're getting is rather affordable - under $1500.. plus we know one of the sales people and he will probably be able to swing us a deal. We're getting the M1.

Where were you born? Kenosha, Wisconsin

What is your newest fitness toy, passion, or interest? I am very into iballet, Squeeze, etc. type workouts right now. I am also hoping to get a yoga floor and ballet barre when I move into my new house.

What big (or not so big) plans do you have for this summer? No big vacations, just getting ready for a move in early August. We are leaving the city and headed for the suburbs, which is bittersweet. Other than that, lots of time at the park and playing outside with my one year old DD.

What is one thing you love about VF? Just one??? That's tough. Besides the wealth of information about various exercise media and equipment, I love having a group of people to chat with about my passion for fitness. As a SAHM, it is great to have an interest that is all mine!

What is one thing you love about VF? All of the information that is available from such wonderful people, and finding out there are others out there that are as obsessed with fitness DVDs as I am!

I'm Sassy - I'm 38 (in July), married and have two kids aged 11 & 13. I know that wasn't asked, but I also know that people like to have a sense of who someone is and how closely that person relates to themselves - especially in a forum like this where there's a lot of advice giving going on.

Where were you born?

I was born in Duluth, MN - and although I have moved around a little, I'm back in the area now.

What is your newest fitness toy, passion, or interest?

I'm just getting back into working out after a fall and winter of slug-life brought on by the stress of buying and getting going with a new business.

Right now, I'm really interested in shaping, muscle building, and core strengthening, as well as flexibility. I used to do a ton of yoga, and I'm getting back to that, but I'm also really big on the iBallets, and other similar workouts right now - pilates, Lotte Berk, etc.

My other big thing right now is really FUN cardo - Core Rhythms, belly dance, and I have Xflowsion on the way.

What big (or not so big) plans do you have for this summer?

This is our summer of cleaning things out and fixing things up. Nothing new gets started this summer, or I'm going to pitch a fit!! We have a million things that need to get FINISHED first!

Also - big summer for getting in shape as I'm suddenly feeling very old before my time.

What is one thing you love about VF?

I love the honesty about workouts and all the very detailed advice people can give, I love the help and motivation I can get here.

Also - I love the language! I love that various groups develop their own language specific to the topic at hand - like TIFTing, DOM, vidiot, etc.....

And? You guys GET it!! You know all about the video fixation!
