That one was a nice surprise for me too.

I think MR's style of low weight/high rep is different from Jari or Cathe. She doesn't do any squat or lunge type moves, most of her lower body work is floor work with ankle weights (or without if you prefer.) She doesn't do any kind of combination/compound moves either so she's different in that respect too. She moves slowly and carefully with great attention to form. I love her workouts.

Thank you summer breeze! I was eyeing those Classics. Maybe Big Bubble can get me two dvds for my birthday!

The Classics is a good one. I love Forty and Fabulous on there. I also enjoy the two All My Best dvds too. Happy Birthday .

I thought about Strong and Limber too, I really don't need any more Margaret's though. I have the Classics, Getting Better, Perfect 10 and Sculpture. I had 4 of the Unplugged but I just traded them away as I tend to reach for her older workouts anyway.

So I don't know, I have even debated grabbing a backup set of the ones I have, but that would probably be silly. I will have to think about it. I think maybe Good N Strong, maybe Strong and Limber, there is one other one Give Me Strength maybe? I think I am safe as the others ones are not calling my name anyway.

I agree with the person who likes 40 and Fabulous, that and High Voltage are worth the price of the classics for me alone.

Which is the one with the Mediterranean villa background? That's become a favorite, it soothes my mind after a work day and before long, I realize I'm being punished. So I got in the workout I might not have.

I keep going back and forth. I really don't do her now so why would I need her at all. Her lower body floor work is awesome but not sure if I need to buy anything. Just because they are great prices doesn't mean I have to buy.

Despite my initial restraint, I succumbed and bought Unplugged 19 series , good for you, and fitness becomes you. That rounds out my collection. I don’t have all her releases. The more I do her workouts, the more I appreciate them and her. After years of Cathe, et.al., Margaret is a nice change. These are tougher than they seem and she is so unaffected. It makes it easier to accept that I am in a different demographic now.

Digital Downloads 50% off until Monday 26 March

Now Margaret has the digital versions of the DVDs on sale for 50% off. I scooped up a few at less than $9. She does not often offer sales on the digital versions so if you are interested in acquiring them (can be streamed or downloaded), now is a good time. Code is spring18 (if required).
