Well, SURE!

The guy can't cue to save his life! Neither can good old Denise (in her dance stuff) ... I'm a little sorry I cussed Denise out once, but she was badly cuing an impossible (to me) move.

But Mary did good; that's why the markdown.

I got a few from my library recently. Michelle D.'s 10 Min. Solution Carb Burner. Nothing like her Peak 10's and Body Fits. What was I thinking? None of the 10 Minutes are any good, imo. KCM's LIFT. Thought I would like the
2nd workout (non Olympic lifting) but very boring.

Whew! that makes me feel better. I wanted more kickboxing workouts, and did the pre-order for ICE simply because it did include kickboxing. But then I had the same thought: If I didn't like her kickboxing before, why would I like it in ICE? So I canceled my pre-order

It's hard to Joni-O streaming but I did my best with Fe Fit Beginners Martial Arts. Man that guy talks too much and it looks as if someone without and martial arts experience asked a martial artist to do a video then told him exactly what to do.

I just have to laugh ... in only a few posts, three of my very favorite workouts have been mentioned -- The Hare, StepSational, and ICE Rock 'm Sock 'm Kickbox. What's one person's Joni-O is another's all-time keeper. Just thought I'd mention that so no one thinks that they should toss (or not try) ANY workout without having tested it out for themselves. I know you all know that, but just sayin'.

Mine were a Richard Simmons Disco workout and a Kathy Smith Power Walk workout. I got them for light days and just could NOT finish them! LOL!

I used to like these workouts when I first got them. They've been on my self for at least 2 years untouched now so I thought I'd try them again. Between all the self-love of her body (rightfully so but tone it down a bit) and Wicked Willy and his twin...Ugh, no...couldn't do it anymore. Took out the disc and got rid of the set.
