Thanks for mentioning the X3 workouts, Jeannine. I don't think I've tried them yet!

I do have it! I think I have done 4 or 5 of the workouts and really enjoyed them. I can't remember if I have tried Dynamix but I think I have.

Perfect 30 - the weight and hiit workouts from this series are the bomb. I used them over and over again this year.

KCM power splits - it wasn’t love at first sight, but it is now an enduring, I-got-your-back kind of love.

Ellen Barrett Streaming

Essentrics TV - I can tell when I neglect Essentrics for too long and it is not good! The Live classes alone are worth it.

Jessica Smith - Strong & Centered (it took some time for me to warm up to it, but I did the rotation and felt that I got stronger and improved my stamina)

Jessica Valent - Unlimited - Streaming - her PT approach to Pilates helps keep the nagging injuries at bay

Misses:

None I can think of right now - I didn't buy much this year, other than streaming subscriptions.

This is a fun thread and somehow I missed it last year. I find the responses so interesting and helpful. Consider this a combo post for 2021-22 of hits and misses.

Misses

1. Flow Yoga Energize and Renew & Detox Yoga - Amy Schneider
2. Happy Yoga Chair Yoga Sarah Starr
3. Nadia Narain Flow yoga strength and stability

Hits
4. Cathe equipment especially Round Yoga Mat and loops and bands.
5. Sarah Picot pilates
6. Edge Booty Extreme Volume 1 DVD - Ingrid Romero
7. Anything new to me by Ilaria I have tried, including Bodystrikes.
8. Used Adidas shorts off eBay and Goodwill.
9. Bright 'chalk' dry erase markers from Michaels to use on my black dry erase board in the Shred Shed
10. Marker board from Home Depot for the Shred Shed

I need to face the fact that there aren't new yoga instructors I will like, lol. Nothing specifically wrong with the workouts, but I start them and start wishing I had instead picked something else I love that I already own.

Doesn't happen to me with other exercise genres..I'm excited to try something from a new pilates instructor, kettlebell etc. It's odd

Margaret Richard - not streaming, but a few DVDs that someone here very generously gave me , as well as a few from Margaret's Digital Video Library
Classical Stretch - always - am considering streaming, but am hesitant to pay, especially since I have almost all of the DVDs, and I'm trying to not overspend.
YouTube - so, so many - Improved Health, Olivia Lawson, Burpee Girl, Anastasia for her fabulous arm routines, Yoga with Kassandra, etc.

Misses:
A few on YouTube, which I can't quite recall.
