Alert!Old thread revive!
Funny, how I seem to come back to JV over and over again, each year!😁😊
Anyone else by any chance? I'm planning on focusing on Joyce these next 3 or 4 weeks,hopefully with some pilates/stretching fit in as well!😉

It's been almost 4 years since I posted in this thread. I no longer have any of Joyce's DVDs. I got rid of them when I decided to downsize my collection a while back. Kelly Coffey-Meyer replaced Joyce, and I still like Tamilee Webb and Denise Austin for strength.

I seem to come back time and again to Joyce. I'm planning to work on her fat loss workout as soon as I get well. Currently dealing with strep throat, exhausting cough, sinus infeciton, and double ear infection. For pilates, I currently like Cassey Ho. for yoga, I love the Morning Cup of Yoga, altho it's a bit of a collectors item. Nice spiral bound hard cover book with a CD, only takes 15 minutes, all done standing or sitting. |

I always start thinking about a Joyce workout around this time of year. Great minds think alike, eh? Scorpio, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well!

Just my opinion, but Joyce really shines with her books. Her DVDs, not so much. Her counting is off, her form isn't very good, and she uses weights that are way, way, way too light for her and so she flings them around. Her books, though, are great. The first weight routine I ever did was Joyce's 12 minute workout, and I also did her pyramid workout--both of these were from her books. I always really liked Joyce's minimalist approach to home workouts (dumbbells only, and a step bench, or you could use your coffee table!). On at least some of her workouts, you can go heavy on the weights, too. She is a wealth of info on gym-style workouts.

Imhere2dance,
I'm glad you found other instructors to work out with! I love KCM myself but have a fondness of JV's simplicity (and her quirkiness). Susanna, I started with JV's books almost 16 years ago. She was my first introduction to working out at home with just a bench and a few different DBs. I only found her DVDs a few years back and have yet to do them all (maybe this time around? ) but the books are amazing on their own, as others have stated here already! Scorpio, I'm sorry you're not feeling well right now (yikes, you got it all!), I wish you speedy recovery! I love Cassey Ho for Pilates! Her short segments make it very possible to fit them in during the day! The Yoga workout sounds also like a nice option! Joan, I was hoping you'd see this old thread! I thought of you when I went through the posts as well as through my JV papers where I found some of yours again, too! Sorry to hear about your PF in both feet! I hope you'll feel better soon! I no longer do high impact cardio either and TBH recently my liking to do cardio is at a low and Joyce's weight training is just right up my alley! I still sweat but I'm not lobster red and huffing and puffing! LOL My challenge is also fitting in Pilates as well as some Yoga.. and then there's barre that I truly love (right now mainly SB Barre Amped Bounce -love to jump!), so I often wonder where I could fit that one in, too... For the time being I'm focusing on doing JV 4x/week (ideally 2x UB & 2x LB), mixed with 1 yoga day and/or Pilates/Barre. -I'm hoping to add some 10-15 min Pilates segments on each day. eam531, I agree with you, she shines much more through her books, but what I love about her DVDs is that she's 'approachable' for me, she's a normal human being with her funny comments and all, she somehow doesn't intimidate me to follow along her and work out. (vs KCM for example, I adore her, but she's way out of my fitness league.. Does that makes sense?) As to equipment, yes, I love her simplicity!
