I've kept them for sentimental reasons. of the 2, I go back to LWTLW more than Secrets. LWTLW was one of my first pure weights workout.
my beef about Secrets is that when she shows a demo of each move when she does the "first side" of the body; but when she goes to the "second side" of the body, she goes right into it, and there's not enough time for set up. so if you're going from supine chest flyes to triceps, there's not enough time to even switch weight size, or even stand up from being in the supine position.
she gives lots of form pointers in Secrets, and I love the "ballet room" set.
LWTLW is great - lots of time for set up. even though there's no warm up, as many have noted, it's minor. the 2 simultaneous tracks (half the group is advanced, the other is beginner) provides options that you can switch to easily.
