I'd love it if all the old Reebok workouts made it to DVD. Petra Kolber had several Reebok videos that are still great (Rhythmic Power, Sweat Factory, Dance Step) in addition to the Gin 's mentioned above. I personally think those older Reebok workouts are classics m

That's the first one I thought of when I saw this thread! I traded my VHS copy because I was just positive it would be released on DVD but of course that never happened (probably due to music rights).
I remember that Denise Austin stretch tape. I did it so often I had it memorized -- in fact I once *did* do it completely from memory during a prolonged power outage. I find Chatty Denise hard to take, but this one features Quiet Denise. Another one is Leslie Sansone's 1 Mile Super Challenge, a very nifty and fast one-mile workout. For some mysterious reason it has never been put on any of her DVD compilations. I still do it regularly since I have a combo DVD/VCR, but once that dies I guess I'm out of luck.

Susan Powter's Building Strength; Lean, Strong and Healthy; and Burn Fat and Get Fit. To my knowledge, none of these ever went to DVD. They are from her Stop the Insanity days. I know many folks didn't care for her, but I loved how she had people of many sizes and abilities in the first 2 workouts, loved her form tips, her boundless energy, and her message to "modify, modify, modify"!
I used to do these workouts alot. I still have the VHS tapes, ripped them to my PC, and backed them up on an external drive. If they went to DVD, I'd probably buy them! I never cared for her newer workouts, although I did try the stretch one. Meh.

I have hung on to many of my VHS oldies. Here is a list:
Cory - BSS and Get Hard Arms Denise Austin - Stretch & Flex Aaron Lankford - Power Kicks, Strong & Stretched Rachel McLish - In Shape Cher Fitness - Body Confidence Chyna Fitness Todd Gheiser - Results Fitness (has VFers in it!) Gin Miller - Best of Reebok TV, New Workout Tim Cullen - Creative Stepps 1,2,3 & Club Cardio Jam (some had Gay Gaspar) Scott Helventsen - Navy Seals Workouts Charlene Prickett - Low Impact, High Intensity, Start Your Engines, Homestretch Fran Gern - Weights I and Weights II Gilad - Arms of Steel, Legs of Steel Weight Watchers - Low Impact Aerobics (Aileen Sheron and Chalene Johnson!) The Sinister Sisters - CIA 2102: Power Bar Training (I only keep it because DH likes it.) DH has put some of these on DVD. Susan, I got the Austin S&F stretch tape on your rec years ago. And, I gave you my Body Pump tape. (You never said if you liked it or not!) I figured it would come out on DVD, too. A kind VFer sent me a copy on DVD-R.

I remember Rachel's In Shape. . . I had totally forgotten about Fran Gern, though; wonder what happened to her? And speaking of old Reebok workouts, my intro to Petra was Step Rhythm and Moves and I LOVED THAT WORKOUT. I still remember the "chug" and "stomp a bug." lol. This is such a FUN THREAD. Oh, those were the days! The people who produce workouts are much more prolific these days and much more slick, but some of the oldies were indeed golden. |

I like Minna too. I wonder why she doesn't put out more videos. back to the original question, here's my list, some of which were already posted about upthread, all VHS: cory everson basic sculpting system cory everson get hard arms & shoulders, and the lower body counterpart NAC Interval challengs - the first of its kind Michelle Dozois & Tracy York's 7 Day Solution Gilad's men of steel's Arms of Steel VHS released on DVD region 2 but not region 1 (I know you can get a region-free player or re-program your DVD player): Claudia Schiffer Elle MacPherson The Claudia ones are available on youtube, I believe. I also wondered why some of the older Crunch videos never got converted to DVD. maybe different licensing.
