If I went to a different fitness class at the gym every week, most people wouldn't think twice. Dvds are typically much cheaper than comparable classes and they get more cost effective the more that you use them.

I totally agree. I have to say that I would worry if I liked every single workout I tried. I might think my workout love sensor was broken

Amidst this lockdown, I'm finally working my way through dust bunnies and virgin DVDs (and some earmarked YouTube videos) and I'm still very busy and not revisiting stuff very often... which just means my DVD collection is big and broad enough as-is that I don't really need to buy anything else and I'm just supplementing a wee bit with YouTube. I love my DVD collection and how the cost per DVD amortizes with each premix I try

If you are looking for an older set that is somewhat common (e.g., P90X), look on ebay. They often have listings for sets that are not too expensive. However, if the DVDs are rare, look out. The prices are ridiculously high.

In addition to inflated prices on eBay, it can be hard to tell whether you're purchasing bootlegs.

Wasting money was my middle name a few years back. I made the decision that I need to regain what worked and motivated me and stop chasing instructors and methods that didn't energize me to push "play".

Trading, selling, etc has always been fun and it's one reason I've been able to decide what appeals to me. At this point, I have nothing in my collection I won't use.

I really haven't been on here for a long while but just came on TODAY to search for "series like body beast"

I already KNOW I won't find anything. I should start a thread instead saying "I've found my forever workout". Short story: can't find anything like it. But will probably keep trying
