Is anyone else a virgin collector?

[SpiritSong]

I really didn't think I had a problem until I just made a list of the DVDs I bought in 2012 (32) and checked off how many I had actually done (and just starting the workout doesn't count), which is about eight.

EIGHT! Or 1/4 of my purchases.

I started a few others (about 6), but the rest are untouched virgins. And some DVDs have multiple workouts, so that makes the number of undone workouts climb even higher.

To my credit, I have slowed my purchasing way down since blowing through most of my slow-buy budget in the first six months of 2012, but that is sure a whole lot of workouts being unused. Is anyone else this bad??

me! I haven't been buying a lot, but considering that the vast majority of my current collection consists of workouts I have only viewed and never actually done, I probably shoulnd't be buying anything

I have to admit I'm guilty of this even for entire systems to include Ripped 60, Metrx180 (have done 1 workout), Body Beast, Tapout and Cardio Karate. I really should hold off on buying anything for a long while.

I'll admit that this has been happening to me with a little more frequency. I think I got Squeeze Stronger for Christmas and just let it sit - I wasn't even excited to try it. I did though - once. I got a as many Evolution workouts as I wanted because I didn't think I could get them anymore. I'm sure I haven't done them all but I'm not really sure how many that is.

Usually, I get something and it is KILLING ME not to pop it in and do it immediately. Now - not so much. I also find that if I think a workout is too long I don't want to do it. Right now - an hour seems like an eternity and that was my staple for years - an hour - anything else I didn't think it was worth my time. I got Cathe's LIS series and I'm positive I haven't done the entire workout of any of them - I try to find premixes that are shorter.

me, me and me again....i have so many unused workouts and systems....my husband told me that he thinks this may be why i'm not getting the results that i want b/c i have too much to choose from....i was getting better results when i didn't have so much(sigh)......i think there probably could be some truth to that....but i choose not to listen at this time b/c there is still more that i want...hahahahahaha

The title of this thread is completely hilarious.

On any other board? Probably kind of odd.

I have a lot of workouts never done, way more than 32, you don't want to know how many! Some I have had for years and still have not tried them, saving them for just the right fitness need!

I have a lot more fitness DVDs that I have either only done once or only use one small segment from the workout. I have this bad habit of trying a workout, really liking it, then getting distracted by other workouts, so months or even years will go by before I even get to do the workout I liked again. I know it makes absolutely no sense.

I also sometimes feel the need to complete a collection. For example, it was a better deal to buy the complete Jari Love sets than individually so now I have all of her workouts, but I really only need 2 or 3. I keep them because I never know when I might want to do a Jari Love rotation.

Other systems and workouts that I have that fit into this might someday want to do a rotation: Melt It Off with Mitch, BBL, Resist-A-Ball Workouts, Gilad LOTA, Tracey Staehle and Amy Bento strength workouts, and Tae Bo. I really don't use any of them on a regular basis, not even close, but I cannot part with them because they are different genres that I might need if I am bored and I get exercise ADD a lot.

On another note, I was just browsing Mary's site and thinking about ordering something new since the 10 Minute solution workouts are on sale and so I can do a 10 Minute Solution rotation, spoken like a true vidiot!!

Love this thread! It is sad how many virgin wo's there are in my collection. I read something on here from all of you enablers and I have to check it out, which means I have to buy it. I too have systems that I have only done 1 or 2 dvds from them. Plus numerous new ones sitting on my shelves unopened. Yet here I sit perusing the trade list still. I am so glad to know there are other people out there with this same "problem." On the up side of this, I did do 4 new wo's this morning. I always feel better about buying more when I make an effort to try the new ones.

Even though I have slowed down my buying quite a bit (not completely of course) and have embraced trading somewhat, I still have an embarrassing amount of virgins in my collection. I may have everyone beat though with this one, two Charlene Prickett, two Tae Bo and a Gin Miller VHS -- still in shrinkwrap!

Yes, I'm a virgin collector too. Let's not get into how many. Sigh.
