I hear you Julie....I don't want to spend $6 on shipping for one DVD either. I had pretty much decided on Getting Better but didn't know what else to get. I was actually pondering reacquiring Sculpture which I traded without even trying. She will have another sale, for now I think I am good with what I have from her. Will get GB eventually most likely though.

In doing her workouts I am noticing that she uses the same exercises in quite a few of them, that's why I think I only really need a few of her DVDs.

I just got the Classics DVD in early July. I am pleased with it and think I will use it a lot, I bought mainly for High Voltage and 40/Fabulous. I hope you enjoy your DVDs!

Thanks Jenilu! Margaret is going to get one of us yet! I saw this and of course am tempted again because with the discount and shipping it is still cheaper than the regular price.

I wish I could join in on it. I got several good trades of her stuff about a year ago, but one of these days I'd like to get a season!

Tara, I have owned Sculpture for almost a year and still haven't broken the seal. LOL! You are right that a lot of the exercises are similar. Raising the Bar looked a lot different to me with the bar, which is why I was contemplating it. What I like about Getting Better is it is tailored to suit those with foot injuries, yet is a great workout that's doable even without a foot injury (and really good for those days I'm feeling kind of lazy but want a good workout). Not to enable you though.

I have been doing a lot of Margaret's workouts the last few months (recovering from an injury, and her workouts didn't aggravate it). I can vouch for the fact that a lot of the exercises are similar!

I still felt compelled to purchase a lot of them () because I needed some variety - if not in the exercises, then in the scenery, companion exercisers, corny jokes, etc.. I am glad I purchased them, but if someone wasn't planning a concentrated MR rotation I don't think it's really necessary. (But since when has 'necessary' existed in a vidiot's vocabulary?)

(I am no help making recommendations - I have always had workout amnesia. With my MR workouts, it's even worse! I have them on a hard drive, by chapter, and don't really make note of what I am doing any particular day. I just make sure to hit all the body parts. I know that I particularly like the 'Unplugged' series, but I added my own music to them.)

I will admit I am tempted to get 'Muscle & Grace' download during this sale. I already have the stretching segment, so not sure it would be worth it.

eta: OK, I admit it. I bought it. Like I said - 'necessary' is not in my vocabulary. Sheepish grin.

Julie - I previewed it and have done segments from All My Best but that's it. Now that there is a 40% off sale, I need to figure out what I want. I don't want to miss this one.

I had a sprained ankle last summer so Getting Better would have been great for that. I will probably still pick up. Just need to decide what else. I also had Good & Strong years ago but traded that away too. Maybe that would be another good one.

I will figure it out....too good of a sale to pass up!

Muscle and Grace was one I was kind of interested in, Give Me Strength was another one. Not sure I really need either one, will go for Getting Better for sure and maybe one more, just have to figure out which one. There are really only a few that I am looking at, she has many others but those just aren't calling my name. Who knows though I could end up with a bunch of them. I guess we will see!

I hear you on "necessary", hasn't really stopped me in the past either!

On preview it looks good. The inner thighs are done with my preferred form - lying on your side (as opposed to lying on your back and just opening/closing the legs). It also looks like the triceps get a good workout, which I love.

BTW: The downloads are also on sale (they weren't last week). Muscle & Grace was $14.97 once I put it in my cart.
