My name is Garrie Ayers and I have been a home exerciser since 2011. I am 20 year old male from Virginia. In May I graduated college with an Associate's degree in Information Systems Technology. Currently I am searching for a job.
My journey to home exercise started in 2011 when I found some old VHS tapes in my sister's basement. They consisted of Tae Bo, Leslie Sansone, Richard Simmons, Kathy Smith, and various other titles. I enjoyed them but didn't particularly *click* with them. While yard sale shopping on a hot day in June of 2012 I came across the original six Volume Firm series (in the clamshell cases) for only $1! (Yes you read that correctly!!) Shortly after, I began doing online research and found Videofitness. All I can say is..."Thank you!" Working out to videos and DVDs became more than a hobby, but a way of life. My collection has grown immensely with various styles and instructors. I joined the forum in October of 2014 and recently got approved to post threads and replies! (Thanks Chrys aka cdayley and Wendy aka WWWendy)
My biggest accomplishment was losing 40 pounds over a three year period. I have also become much stronger and fit. Currently my favorite workouts include Tracie Long, Kelly Coffey Meyer, Pilates, barre, dance, and yoga. I am proud to say that Yoga Booty Ballet is my "guilty pleasure" workout!
My hobbies include crocheting, nature walks, yard sales, collecting exercise stuff and any 90s TV show on DVD, and working out of course!
I am glad to be a member of this wonderful forum!
