Sherry the used bookstore near me also has a dwindling selection. It has also moved the exercise DVDs near the bathrooms and so close you're constantly having to move to let them enter

Karla nice finds! Sorry to hear about your shoulder

bzar do you have a shiny leotard and legwarmers?

My local thrift store has had to expand their DVD section they've had so many donations. Unfortunately I haven't found many good fitness finds, but they do have 10 copies of Garden State. LOL.

right! - i think this is Jazzercise A New Generation, circa 2012:
https://www.amazon.com/Ballet-Body-b...0113990&sr=8-3

over the years, the brand "Jazzercise" is just that, and the style has morphed into more modern influences, including the outfits! thank goodness!

Edited to add: leggings are the new leotards/leg warmers!

Karla25 - Great finds! I would like to try a T-Tapp workout, but I haven't seen any at the thrift store.

Jeannine - I've seen a couple Jazzercise DVDs at the thrift store, but not that one. Let us know if you like it when you try it.

Wendy, that is hilarious! I should go again - maybe there's been more end-of-summer donations. I do put copies of movies together just like I organize the fitness DVDs.

My thrift store is overflowing with DVD's right now. They've added 2 sections just for DVD's and books. I previously put all the fitness DVDs together, but there are so many DVDs now that I didn't do it this time. Plus, the DVDs aren't located together in the store.

I did pick up:
Jessica Smith- Walk On 15 minute Fat Blasters $3
Leslie Sansone- Just Walk Mix & Match Walk Blasters $1.50

In the equipment section they had a step company step with the slanted risers for $9. They also had a bundle of equipment that I could not figure out what it was. It was a set of smaller balls (the size of ball used in Tracie Long's workouts) with a plastic top with handles. They weren't weighted, but inflatable. It reminded me of push up handles, but why were they attached to an inflatable ball? There were a few other pieces in the bundle, but it wasn't opened so I couldn't look closer.

i picked up Leslie Sansone's You Can Do Pilates at Goodwill. $3.

at a Savers thrift store, i saw a sealed set of Donna Richardson's Body Gospel DVDs without the bands for $5.99, however i left it there.

at the same Savers, i picked up a Beachbody red resistance band for a net cost of $3. this one allows you to change the band, and both the band and handles were in like-new condition.
