Mid-Year Check-In: Hits & Misses

We always do an end of year hits and misses thread and occasionally I've seen them mid-year as well. If someone already posted one, please point me toward it

Feel free to include streaming sites or downloads to your list as well

Hits:
*Ultimate Yogi - I only made it two weeks through the rotation, but I love the individual workouts.

*Pump - I've been doing the workouts for five weeks, that's like a miracle for me.

*Jessica Smith's walking workouts - I had pneumonia earlier this year and this is what I turned to when I was bouncing back. I've continued to mix them into my rotation and love them (love Jessica).

Misses:
*Shiva Rea's Yoga in Greece - To be fair, I've only done a couple of the sections on this, but I just don't like her cueing. After Travis, I'm a stickler about cueing in yoga. They are beautiful and I'm more than happy to sit there and just watch it while I stretch on my own.

Mixed reviews:
*Melissa McLeod's Yoga 4 Strength - I love the three workouts that don't use weights and pop them in frequently. I'm not loving the ones with weights. It was still worth it to get the three I do like.

My biggest miss for me has been PiYO. Everyone is different, but it just wasn't for me. Another one was 21DF.

Hits are:
Raviana Yoga -I am loving these short segments that I do at night before bed.
FeFit - I love the length of these and like to add them on when I have time
CS Season 10 - LOVING this season!
Essentrics Body Sculpting Series - these are so beautiful on the eyes, and so awesome for the body
P90X3 - I love the variety plus I get to do these with my daughter and that is super fun!
Tonique - Addicted to Movement, Femme Fatale

I'm sure I'm missing some, but I don't think I bought anything else???

I did cave on the Lean Series from KBKB and I'm hopeful this doesn't fall into the miss category for me...

No misses that I can think of now. Jessica's stuff is about all I've gotten. Streaming and YT has helped me cut back on fitness spending.

Still deciding on....PiYo. I think it will be a hit for me though.

Miss:

I will probably think of more later but the first things that come to mind for my Hit List is:

Hits:
-UFC Fit
-TapOut XT 2
-Cathe X10


Misses:
-the rest of Cathe's last release (Great Glutes and Flex Train are ok)
-pretty much any Beach Body product
(**through kinetic flix I tried out several BB products and came to the conclusion that company and I just don't click. These included: P90X, P90X3, Les Mills Pump, Les Mills Combat, Turbo Fire, T25...everything except Body Beast is a big NOPE for me. And yet I'm still curious about PiYo... )
-Zuzka's Kettlebell dvds

I'm sure I will think of more for both Hits and Misses!

ETA: Another miss for me...Classical Stretch/Essentrics. I went bonkers last December when they had that sale and picked up CS season 8, Flexibility for Athletes and Strength/Stretch. I was absolutely convinced I would love these workouts. I was wrong.
