And what's that about the gym 5 days a week? Makes me feel much less ashamed of throwing over the gym so many years ago ('08) ... and never really frequently going to studio in those few years since.

However, I am back to revisiting a few people that I used to use (KCM and Tracie Long) and have invested in some DVDs by each of them. But really they would be the only ones that release DVDs here and there. I may revisit Cathe again later this year but will just use the ones I have, I am not really interested in getting anything more from her. I will say that I buy a lot less than I used to, and try to trade more these days. But I am buying smarter for the most part, except when I splurged on a bunch of WHFN last year after hearing they were going to be discontinued, only to like half of the ones I bought. Oh well, I guess that's better than not liking any of them. But I make that mistake sometimes, I find an instructor or brand and buy a bunch rather than a few which is all I need. |

If Yoga Zone was still around and releasing dvds, I'd still be buying them
They were the first yoga dvds I clicked with (along with Sara Ivanhoe, who also hardly releases anything anymore). I am participating in the winter solistice yoga sadhana, and I am trying to pull out dvds I have not used much. Between those and you tube, I really have no need to buy more yoga dvds......but I know I will keep buying them. I am trying to be more picky, though. I wish I'd waited for reviews on the new Rodney Yee. I regret that purchase. Sherry

I still buy workouts when they look interesting. I've been working out for so long (almost 36 years) that I like to try new styles and instructors. I never know if one will turn out to be a gem for me. I'll mention that the gem-to-dud ratio has been poor in recent years.
I also buy videos for DH. (I might have to stop because the last few have been duds for him.)

I never got into her yoga because I'd gotten involved with really a lot slower, more intense flow at the time ... (and, the wrong studio) ... but I don't regret that - temporary, in the grand scheme of things - involvement and to this day I thank Shiva that no "teacher training" had ever been involved in the sacrifice of my $$ and equanimity - yes, instead of its being built up - it had been torn down ...

I think I'm there. I only bought 4 DVDs in 2015. I get tempted by new stuff, but can quickly talk myself down. Max 30 called to me, but then I remembered that I hated T25 and gave the set away and that I rarely reach for an Insanity workout. Cize looks like fun, but then I think of the two Hip Hop Hustle Fan volumes I have that contain 4 workouts, of which I've only done 1 a couple of times, not to mention that Rockin' Body set that gets little use. I saw the infomercial for Piyo and almost bit, but then I reminded myself that I had acquired and traded away Piyo Fan volumes on two different occasions. Cathe? I have Crossfire, STS HIIT, Pyramids, and Xtrain, and I think that's a pretty good sampling of her offerings, and all I need.
I have learned so much from this forum. It has been a process, but I think I have found what works for me and what I like. I still love reading posts about all kinds of workouts, though, even ones I am not interested in. You never know when things will change and you'll need something different. I am totally satisfied with my current random rotations of Turbo Jam/Kick/Fire, CLX, Combat, Pump, Ultimate Yogi, and Breathless Body, with the occasional Jillian, KCM, Zuska and Cathe thrown in. Now if I could just get rid of that STS set that I bought many years ago in an Ambien-induced stupor...
