I can't remember exactly how I found VF. It was around 2001/2. I really loved the early firm VHS and Kathy Smith.
I don't really have a fitness background. I just love that working out gives me more strength and flexibility.
My favorite instructors are numerous. I will probably always like Cathe and Tracie Long. For early instructors it was Kathy Smith and the Firm. Now I probably do a bit more streaming and paid downloads than DVD.
I really like aloMoves as they have a nice variety of yoga instructors with several different levels. They put out new series frequently that I enjoy.
They are probably my most consistent at the moment. I tried udaya and will probably go back to them off and on.
My favorite for weights/kickboxing is Les Mills.
For courses I have downloaded I have liked those by Erin Kelly and Steph Gongora as well as those based on Anatomy Trains Karin Gurtner.
Another that I do sporadically is Buti Yoga. I have done essentrics as well.
As you can see I just like to move and try new things.
This summer I have been going through a beginner download yoga course by Erin Kelly and Steph Gongora that worked on breath with movement which is fun. I am trying to improve the use of breath linked to movement which makes certain moves more effective.I will also do the course by them that is on Omstars and AloMoves.
I mix that up with yoga from aloMoves Dylan Werner (he is yoga and also background in fascial movement), Caley Alyssa, Bri, Ashley, Patrick...
Another course I will add is the udaya course from Jules Mitchell.
Whenever I just can't make myself do anything I go back and do a few Cathe, Tracie, and Firm workouts. They seem to always get me going.
A bit long winded I know
