Thanks for VF, as usual

[kalliope999]

I've been reading and posting here at VF on and off since 2010, but I tend to visit very sporadically, mostly when I'm looking for a new program or when I'm restarting after taking a long fitness break. After a years-long break from working out, I've been poking around here again for some inspiration.

For whatever reason, I finally decided to try Joyce Vedral for the first time, and I'm loving her! She's just the right vibe for me right now, and if not for VF, I never would have known about her. It's not like she's current, or all over social media, etc. Not sure how anyone would find her these days! It's only because of all you fellow longtime home exercisers here that I was reminded of her name. So THANK YOU!

For anyone curious, I'm enjoying her wacky personality and accent, and the fact that she moves at a fast clip, is no-nonsense, and wastes no time. That's now I prefer to get through workouts, so I appreciate the briskness! As I return to fitness again, I've been wanting something efficient and snappy, but not something intense like short HIIT, kettlebell, or "metabolic" type workouts. Nothing that inspires dread like longer, slower, or gentler workouts, or Beachbody program schedules. Getting into a non-stressful, comfortable, aerobic HR zone with weights is just right for me right now.

I don't mind her lifting speed. When I eventually go heavier, I will slow down just enough to not compromise safety. As briskly as possible while being appropriate for the current weight. I'm assuming that's what she does with her heavier weights.

I've had her Definition book for a few years but sadly never even cracked it open. I'll probably eventually move to her book workouts and my own music, but for now I'm enjoying the videos I could get via Amazon Prime or CollageVideoTV.

So thanks for being a reliable repository of info that includes the old and non-trendy, the outdated, the divisive, but also the fun and effective workouts -- as always, VFers!
