A Sad Day

Oh no, how very sad, I just read that Collage Video is going out of business!

I have been a long time customer, I bought my first fitness VHS & DVD (Urban Tai Chi & Winsor Pilates) from them. They are the reason why I grew my collection and fell in love with home fitness. I found amazing instructors on their website and in their informative catalogs. The 2nd DVD I purchased from them was Christi Taylor's Totally Hot Cardio. I remember trying it out and thinking WTF is she doing?! She is why I love complex choreography so much, thanks to Collage's video preview.

Everything on their website is 30-70% off. I just placed my final order, consisting of:

A few things sold out and disappeared from my cart before I could place my order, so if you want something, I would act fast!

So sad to see them go. Thank you Collage Video for many years of catalogs, DVDs, great customer service, and fast shipping! You will be missed.

Workouts

Workouts completed last week were:

I am loving this new Leslie Walk workout. The music is so much better (some of the vocal songs are Neon Trees' Everybody Talks, Pink's Get the Party Started, Jennifer Lopez's Lets Get Loud), the moves are fun and more towards aerobics than just walking, but still low impact. The set is bright & colorful, the participants are a wide range of ethnicities and ages. I've been doing just a mile at a time. You can do each mile separately and there is a music only option, which I appreciate! I look forward to her new Walk to the Party Hits out in December.

This is newly purchased. I've always loved Classical Stretch - it makes you feel stretched out, warm, and overall good. I did a pain relief episode; #2 for hips and foot pain. While doing it I felt great (while modifying some of the plies to avoid knee pain), afterwards I felt some soreness and kept cracking from my hips, thighs, knees, ankles, and feet.

I love this DVD. I believe it is one of their best. While I enjoy Kundalini Yoga, I also greatly enjoy meditation and love that this has so many options. My favorites are the Wahay Guru meditation and the singing mantra. I also like the full body meditation and several others. I always do a combination but never the whole DVD at once. I like that you can pick and choose. I hope they do another DVD in this vein.

Some new workouts I purchased but have yet to do...

I only purchased Phase 1 of Body Revolution since I rarely do a program more than a month - I get bored easily and need mental stimulation along with my workouts.
