???s From Jari Love re New Workouts

Joni O · 03-29-15, 06:34 PM

Based on the recent thread about what Jari Love is up to - I asked her on Facebook. She's filming new workouts in early May and wasn't clear on whether they would be all streaming or on DVD - so I asked.

She asked what we want and I said some, including me, still want DVDs. She wants to know why.

So, here's our chance to make a case for new DVDs. She said it would be helpful to know.

Because we don't all have great internet connections. It's aggravating to start exercising and then buffering starts. If it happens too many times I stop. As far as downloads go, I don't mind, but I'm not ok with paying the same amount for a download as for an actual dvd. I don't inderstand the logic that a physical dvd costs the same as something I download. I still use DVDs. Heck I'll use a vhs if I feel like doing an old workout. I have AppleTV. I am not all the way behind the times. I find it more convenient to pop the dvd in. I don't have Facebook so I can't go there and tell her.

Because some of us don't want to work out in our computer room/location...and don't have the ability to burn discs.

Did you tell her you can't Joni-O a download? Lol, no that's a bad idea.

My reasons, which won't help the cause :
I can't sell, trade, SASE a download (or maybe I can, but only to one who wants a dl).

Legit:
I'm likely to forget I have it if I can't see it.

Yes! Please let her know that a lot of her fans would still appreciate new workouts on DVDs! These are all good reasons!

I don't know if it's my age or not but I'm very technologically challenged and my son is getting tired of me asking him to help with anything related to my computer. I have no clue how to use other devices, I don't even have an iphone and wouldn't know what to do with it if I did LOL! If I can't pop a dvd into my player I simply will not do the workout. My son did help with a few downloads but I have a serious aversion to dragging my laptop down to my workout room at 5am - and have no clue how to burn them to disc's (is that even the right term??

....) I have almost all of Jari's dvd's and have been a faithful follower for years so I would love to have the chance to continue to support her with the purchase of new dvd's.

Ironically, as I went to reply to this thread, I got a message that the page couldn't be shown because I wasn't connected to the internet. Yes, the only high speed cable internet provider in my area routinely throws you off the net. No reason. Wait a few moments, go back and log on and carry on. That's fine for surfing, but if it did that during a workout I would be seriously po'd. My workout time is my decompress time, and it wouldn't be if my workout just stopped because my internet service stopped.

I want to own something, not rent it. Streaming just doesn't feel like ownership. The day she decides she's done with it, then I no longer have my workout. I have a lot of workouts that I will do again and again. I wouldn't have that same inclination with streaming. Like CharM, I'd probably forget I had it if I had to rely on streaming only.

Because I have Apple TV and an Amazon fire stick and still can't figure out this streaming crap. I have fitness glo because I have a free trial and stream that from the Internet on my iPad. I would like to stream it from my Apple TV or my fire stick but can't figure it out(very technologically challenged).

When I do stream fitness glo it buffers and stops and it is so frustrating(and I have a very good internet Connection).

So tell her that some of us still like the "reliability" of an actual dvd, and yes I will buy it, if she puts it on dvd. I pretty much have all of her other stuff.
