There are some experts who say that working abs for more than 5-10 minutes per day is a waste of time. I don't know where they get that, but I follow it. I work mine for that long, every other day...

30 here
I have 30 "keepers"--plus a small separate stack that I don't use and plan to sell. 8 are DVDs.
I came up with that number when I had them on a smaller shelf that would hold just that many (all...

DVD caution: revealing the "idiot" in "vidiot"
Hi... Okay, I'll stop being hard on myself and admit this isn't really idiotic, but I want to pass on something I did just in case it helps someone else.
My DVD player has a tray that you just...

Do you have knee problems?
While people who have knee problems often can't say exactly what caused them, I thought it would be interesting to see how many of us have these problems.
Most of all I'm hoping to discover that...

Gilad Step Aerobics
Gilad's Step Aerobics, "On the Beach", whatever you call it, was easy for me to pick up (and I learn routines very slowly.) It has the advantage of pleasant scenery.

Karen Voight's STRONG AND STREAMLINED has a low-impact cardio workout, but it's rather short, something like 25 minutes, maybe thirty with the warmup. Some people don't like the weird lighting, but...

One last comment....
It's probably time for this thread to fade out (I can hear the moderators agreeing), but I can't resist one last comment.
To me, it's debatable what the instructors owe their public. For some...

Body Alterations versus Value of Workouts
The body alteration issue bothered me a little too, and I can well understand that reaction, but I can think of all kinds of reasons someone in her position might do such a thing. For instance,...

Why the delay?
I've wondered too, with so many people waiting...I thought at first the exercise video marketers might be trying to sell their existing VHS workouts before offering the more appealing DVD version. ...

Standard Deviants tapes
I've checked several of their language videos out of the library. They try to make lessons entertaining (and do an excellent job of it), and you really do learn, but I thought that the amount of...

Oh Norma H.--
Yes, we have washing machines in the South. Don't they have clothes you have to hand wash in the Northwest?
And I wouldn't suggest trying to exercise with a laundry tub while you were using it to...
