From the VF Archives: DIV

I recently found this page and thought "I completely forgot this existed." Thought others may get a kick out of it (a bit of a throw back Thursday). I think it's from the late 90s... note the "tape" references.

Desert Island Videos

It's not in the sitemap, but I remember using it to decide what videos I wanted next "back when."

Wow , what fabulous reading and a trip down memory lane of videos.

I now have to find my copy of Precision Toning and see what I missed.
I am in mourning now for so many amazing workouts that did not make it to DVD. Keli Roberts Step workouts. Some Jane Fonda step and her weight workout.
Aero step, GForce, so many.....I am missing the magic

Yes, I did the same thing. If multiple people listed the same video then it was on my buy list.

It was fun looking through this again. Amazing how many times Mandy changed her mind! I remember her love everything Tae Bo phase.

Can you imagine sitting down with us then and telling us what it would be like in the future? DVD's, streaming, multiple multiple multiple workouts... Back then I thought 20 -30 workout vhs tapes was extreme.

How fun! Thanks for sharing.

Weird thought (?): I wonder how many of those folks still use the emails associated with their posts.

LOL there are a lot of mindspring, hotmail and AOL accounts in there! I’ll probably go back in and hide them (and last names) since I’m doing some cleanup on that section right now; it’s PII and we’re supposed to be more careful about that these days.

ETA: deleted them--

i used to use "VF Hall of Fame" as my shopping list. I printed it out and wrote down little numbers to indicate the top 3, then I took the list to Blockbuster Video. I remember seeing the "for sale" section with The Firm videos stocked.

Note to Kat: can the VF Hall of Fame be memorialized somehow?

Wow, that brings back memories and some old but great workouts - I'm going to pull out Karen Voigt Energy Sprint and maybe one of the old Bryan Kest yoga videos

Thanks for sharing!

And then I would cross reference it with the video descriptions in the Collage Video Catalog.

Bzar,

Since the poll was decidedly in favor of lifting and shifting the non-forum portion versus moving it into a modern content management system I've just been fixing a few code and database issues to help, and, unless someone with more of a say decides otherwise, I don't expect that those pages will be going away!

i created a post in the "Combinations Rotations and Modifications" forum with the categories and titles of the videos in the historic VF Hall of Fame.
