I'm definitely more of a lurker but will post occasionally.
I feel like I've been on VF forever and honestly can't remember how I found it. I think accidentally looking up something fitness related, and it became my regular go to for all things fitness. I always loved moving - begged my mom to let me take ballet classes when I was young. She used to joke that I never walked - I ran everywhere. My serious fitness journey started with the original Firms when I was in my early 20s. They were the reason I fell in love with weight training and structured fitness in general. 3.My favorite instructors have changed over the years (probably like a lot of us). I love Lauren Brooks and Anthony Diluglio though I don't do a lot of kettlebell work these days. My favorite instructors are being replaced with favorite streaming sites such as Essentrics TV, Adriene's yoga channel, and Pilatesology. 4. My daughter is moving home from LA, so I'm hoping to spend some time with her going into the city and doing a lot of walking (we live North of Boston - one of my favorite walking cities) and doing more Pilates, CS, and Yin Yoga (becoming a favorite of mine too). Getting ready for shoulder surgery in November so trying to get my fitness up for that because there will be a lot of down time while I recover. |

Hi Everyone, I’m a long-time lurker here. Thanks for starting this thread Sharaz, I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s story.
1.How do you find VF? I was a member of the original FIRM Believers forum and then YaYas, and found VF through that, as it was sometimes referenced in posts. 2. Fitness Background I started with Jane Fonda’s Workout album, and also watched Joanie Greggains’ Morning Stretch show (not sure if that was broadcast outside of the San Francisco area?) Joanie also had a workout album that I used. Then I saw the original FIRM Volume 1 advertised in a fitness magazine, for pre-order. I think that was in 1983 or 1984. I rotated FIRMs for years and then gradually tried other instructors that were mentioned in the forums. 3. Favorite instructor(s) Linda Wooldridge, Fitness Fusion/Dream Body instructors, Simone De La Rue (Body by Simone). I also like and subscribe to Les Mills on Demand and do either Body Combat or Body Attack a few times per week. 4. Let us know about your Summer workout plan. I’ve been using a lot of Linda Woolridge’s workouts during the past few months and am especially loving her Endurance series – they are a major sweat fest. Although I’ve been at goal weight for many years, these workouts seem to be changing my shape for the better. In addition to Linda’s workouts I also enjoy the Fitness Fusion/Dream Body workouts and have been combining the two. For example, this morning I did Erica’s Foxing 30-minute workout from the Fitness Fusion Sweat Lab series, and then did Linda’s 1+2=3 from her 120 Endurance series. |
