Exercise vides and DVDs: what is in your cabinet?

Just checked my collection of videos and dvds... Sadly, I have the following: Richard Simmons, Stretching to the Oldies Richard Simmons, Sweating to the Oldies 4 Tony Little (argh!) Another Tony Little (argh!) Strangely, I have an Ali McGraw Yoga video. Otherwise, I have a Gaim Yoga and Pilates DVDs. They are okay from what I remember. Exotically, I have a Belly Dance DVD. Unfortunately my back does not like the sharp hip movements (as if I was coordinated enough to do it in the first place). Sassily, I have a Kathy Smith Latin Salsa Aerobic DVD. Again, my back doesn't like it. Newly, I have the Chicometrics DVD that many on this website are buying. It is basically non-cardio floor work. It is basic exercises. Nothing spectacular. But a good workout. Supposedly many are doing it in addition to their other workouts and are dropping inches fairly quickly. I took measurements yesterday before doing the workout and I'll do the workout 3 times a week and will remeasure in 2 weeks and report in. And weirdly enough... I have the 5 disc Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease DVD collection. I am NOT joking. Disc 1: Aerobic Striptease, Disc 2: Fit to Strip (as if...), Disc 3: Advanced Aerobic Striptease, Disc 4: The Lap Dance (ROFLMAO) and Disc 5: Hip Hop (yea, I got rhythm - not!) Not sure what possessed me to purchase Carmen's DVDs. I had not played them yet until I thought about writing this. I broke Disc 1: Aerobic Striptease out. I just went through the warm-up instructional, warm-up itself, the first routine instructional and the first basic routine. I kid you not... I now have a knot in my neck right now. Owie! I felt very uncoordinated and unsexy. But I'll work on it. ROFLMAO. Where is my heating pad when I need it. On second thought, what time is it? What time will Rich be home? Hmmmm, I need me a neck rub and bad. Kathy

I only do videos, so I have way too many to list here. I will generally list series or instructors that I like: I have several Richard Simmons cardio and toning- I actually like him and did a couple of them last night. I have almost all of the "Crunch" Videos I have a lot of Leslie Sansone In Home Walking videos I have a lot of Denise Austin toning videos. I despise her cardio videos because she is so uncoordinated and rhythmically challenged but her toning workouts are first-rate. I have quite a few Jane Fonda cardio and toning workouts. I have just about every "[insert body part here] of Steel" video ever made. I have several of the "Shape magazine" workouts I have several of the "Prevention magazine" workouts I have almost all of the Esquire Great Body Series of tapes I have several of the Breakthru Fitness series of tapes Lots of step aerobic tapes by various instructors Lots of odds and ends. In all, I probably have about 75 workouts.

Wow! That keeps it mixed up! Lori
