Re: TO virgin workouts / rambling

[Guest guest]

Hi , I guess you, Ricki and I will have to stick together since we are the only single people on here...I feel so out numbered! I uploaded an excel file that has my beach body rotation. It doesn't include the advanced Power 90 Masters or Slim Series or Burn It Up from Slim in 6. Check it out and tell me what you think, no workout is repeated If I get bored I will do another one of my MANY virgin workouts. I spend most of my money on exercise videos/equipment, sign language cds/videos to improve my American Sign Language skills (for work or with Deaf friends,) and books, mostly health/fitness. Don't feel guilty , like you said you only have to answer to yourself and your kitty??? Jen Pink Pussycat <pinkpussycat@...> wrote: Ug! The virgin workout dilemma! On the one hand I'm obsessed with getting new workout videos,

as each is a unique fitness experience and I want to nab them at Ross as I see them. I mean, what if it isn't there next week? Besides, I need this one to complete my collection of the series! It's also nice to have a plethora of workouts from which to choose.

For example, I thought I would be doing more Jari Love workouts and I want to, but Duncan Wong, Budokon, Goudeau and Trainer's Edge also hold appeal! I admire the Beach Body diehards that actually DO the programs as instructed but dang it if I had to do only P90X for 3 months I'd go insane (especially because Tony bugs me, but I notice as I acquire P90 stuff that he's much more mellow in his older workouts than in P90X).Anyway, I am not trying to be hard on myself here or make a decision of any kind. I know myself well enough that I thrive on and crave variety - that's in part why I haven't been at the gym lately. I will say that those

workouts are typically harder than most videos (but certainly not all) but they can be so..... predictable. Since Donna, Carolyn and I have all brought up the virgin workout topic today I thought I'd expand on it. As Kassia said, we're all Vidiots and that's fine by me!, who probably needs a workout video 12 step program
