I was just going to ask the same question! I was looking at the reviews and thinking of getting the Sculpture workouts, but so many others look good, too.

I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with the site! I do have a log in and I have not had any issues in the past.

I am having a tough time narrowing down a recommendation to 2 dvd's. I do like to do splits; Margaret has 2 complete workouts that are divided into 2 sections. (Each dvd has 4 30 minute section) I do 1 of these sections daily.

I really like Good for You; it's her most recent. I'd recommend Sculpture if you really want to whip yourself into shape- but you'll need to use light weights!

I love Getting Better. It's very efficient and pretty tough. Good and Strong is fun and challenging...darn it they are all good!!!

If you weren't able to order today call tomorrow and I bet you'll get the sale price. Margaret is very customer service oriented!

Are the unpluggeds easier or just shorter?

Personally, I don't find the Unplugged any easier because you can always make the workout harder by using heavier weights or adding ankle weights. I have found that you can really grow with Margaret's stuff. I di think they might be a hair shorter, but I like to work abs daily... so I make it a half hour! LOL- I have my ways!!!!

The Unplugged don't have music; they were filmed in Margaret's backyard when she lived in Buffalo. There are very peaceful nature sounds in the background- birds singing, a brook, just very calming.

I hope that helps.

Margaret's Body Electric site has had security issues for years and years. For the life of me, I can't figure out why she can't get this fixed.

This is a thread I started in 2004:

So, I usually order by phone.

It helps if there is someone there to answer...

I didn't bother to call back.

For any of you that are still interested, she is still honoring her sale today. I just ordered two (by phone). I'm excited to try her!

I left a message yesterday, and Tracy just called me back. I was able to place my order and get the great deal. Tracy also mentioned that Margaret was filming today - yeah!

Thanks Rookey for posting this - I never would have known otherwise.

(I'm really excited - I had one of Margaret's VHS tapes years ago, but it was one which failed before I converted my tapes to DVD. I am really looking forward to working out with her again!)

I also tried to order last night online, and had problems with the site. Maybe I'll try calling later on.

One of my favorites is still Good 'n Strong! It was my first Margaret workout and still holds a special place in my heart!

I'd like to try her newest Good for You. Still trying to decide what other I want to pair with it?!

What did everyone else get?
