I have to say, since we left Hawaii and I no longer have a dedicated exercise room, I really miss my rebounder. We had a community gym we could use until COVID, luckily we can still use outdoor heated pools on an appointment basis, but when it's in the 40s and drizzly I can't summon enough of an inner warrior to do that.
I do appreciate the great variety of exercise/instructor options we have now vs when I started video exercise in the early 90s.

Yeah, I've never been a yogi, and I've tried so many times because I guess I thought it should be good for me. All it seems to do is stress me out, though With Buti, the more I explore in their streaming service, the more I like it. Especially the ones that Bizzie leads. I probably like it though, for the same reason you don't... it doesn't feel like traditional yoga. While yes, I'm aware I'm performing traditional yoga poses, the presentation tricks me into thinking I'm doing something else, lol.

A conversation between the two goes like this "Logically, ______ (insert a popular instructor or method) is the best! Tons of fans, impeccable method that will help meet all your fitness goals - go for it!" "Um, hold on a second - before you begin. Does it have music you like? Do you like the setting? What about the instructors voice? Can you tolerate the dated-ness of it? Or is it too youngish for your 53 yr old tastes? And before I close, I claim the right to veto or approve based on any criteria listed or not listed above." I have been almost in tears because I have not been able to stick with superb workout routines & wonderful instructors that my illogical inner exercise guru will not let pass go lol I like Jessica Smith's older youtube workouts but not the well produced dvds (go figure). A few Jillians - sometimes the yelling keeps me on point, sometimes I need more nurturing. Cant do the classic Firms I loved in the 90's cuz too dated now & never liked the newer ones. But I can do all older, dated Ellens! And, like, 90% of all workouts do not fit my musical tastes, but I can do Denise Austin with or without music! I am open to trying new stuff, sometimes I like it! I havent been working out due to covid life & all it's stresses & other issues even before then. As I start back up again I surrender & am just gonna do my faves for now. This thread is a good reminder to not waste time & energy fighting my inner illogical exercise guru - thus far it has won every time.
