40% off through Monday. I've never tried her. I'm off to look at some clips.

Yes, many of her workouts are older. She does have some newer ones but I prefer the older ones for some weird reason. Her workouts aren't the easiest, sometimes it can feel like your arms are going to fall off but she works you hard in a calm and gentle manner. She is friendly, but laid back. I like her, I appreciate her workouts more as I get older, though she isn't everyone's cup of tea. Some think she is rather boring. |

Hi,
I have just about all of Margaret's work right now, collected over the years. One of my favorite ways to use her workouts are to do cardio, a 30 min workout w/ Margaret, and a Classical stretch episode, but that gets a little time consuming. So, I generally mix a 30-ish min cardio in w/ 30 min of MR (her workouts are all well chaptered so you can easily make them fit the time you have) and then some flexibility (whatever I have time for). another way I have used her workouts is to alternate her hour long workouts w/ cardio and stretching. Good luck, I find her workouts to be perfect when recovering from an injury or illness b/c they are so well chaptered it is very easy to skip something that doesn't work for you. I also think that in general her exercises are pretty safe as you are not doing a million things at once, so another good reason for using them if injured or ill. That is not to say they aren't challenging, they are! Donna |

I had two injuries, one after another, over the past year. I couldn't do my usual high-impact or heavy weight workouts. I wanted something which wouldn't hurt my hip (1st injury), and which I could do without shoes (2nd injury). I also went through menopause this year (finally!).
I turned to Margaret Richard - I had some under-used DVDs in my collection. Wow - did I have great results! I was merely hoping not to lose a lot of fitness - I retained all of my fitness levels except for some strength (expected since I wasn't lifting heavy any more). I lost about 1-2 pants sizes. (I have wide shoulders/big back and chest - they never gain or lose size). My workout pants literally started to fall off. Not only did I retain most fitness and lose size, I also felt great (well, except for the pain of my injuries). Now that I am starting my normal workouts (with some barre thrown in), even though I have regained strength. I think some fat is creeping back on. (It's not muscle.) I haven't consciously altered diet (maybe portion sizes have increased with more strenuous workouts? I need to journal). I pretty well completed my Margaret Richard collection during the year - I have been buying downloads and am very happy with them. Her workouts are pretty similar one to the other, but I needed variety! I added my own music to the Unplugged DVDs - these are probably my favorite because of that. Joni - I hope you enjoy your DVDs! eta: Sorry to go on so long, but I really wanted to sing Margaret's praises. I didn't follow any particular rotation - I did a full-body MR workout 5-6 days/week. I tried to vary the exercises done for each body part between days. (Her downloads are chaptered by body part, so you can choose the particular exercise you do each day).

Lori, congratulations on your Margaret Richard results! This is exactly what I needed to hear, since I just ordered her Getting Better, Triple Threat, and Perfect 10.
Could you give me an idea what a typical workout week using Margaret's workouts looked like for you? Thanks in advance! Sue |
