Oldie but Goodie?
Anyone returning to the oldies but goodies? What I mean is using older workouts which are enjoyable to you. Here's a sample:
Step Reebok Intense Moves Step Reebok Extreme Step Kathy Smith Great Buns & Thighs Amy Dixon's Breathless Body WO (these are really not older, but I haven't done them yet.) I did The Firm for years, yet I can't bring myself to do them again. Weird I know. I'm also thinking about going back and doing some older Cathe. Any others you can think of? Decisions Decisions.

I just did an oldie yesterday, Esquire Great Body Stretching For Energy with Deborah Crocker (love her
 )! I actually have most of the Esquire's with her and love them! Some other personal favorites are Cher's Body Confidence, Cosmopolitan Tonetics (have several in this series), Rejuvenetics, Denise Austin Hit The Spot Series, and Tamilee Webb Quick Toning Series. I know I have others, but these are some of my very favorite ones that I have used most often! *I can't believe I forgot about Susan Powter's Moving With Susan, my very first and most used step video! I also love her and have several more of her videos. I also have a love fest with Margaret Richard and her videos, my first was High Voltage. And Joyce Vedral's book Bottoms Up and now her videos. |

[QUOTE=lesia;2560143]Anyone returning to the oldies but goodies? What I mean is using older workouts which are enjoyable to you. Here's a sample:
I did The Firm for years, yet I can't bring myself to do them again. Weird I too did the Firm forever but can no longer do them. So I am weird too. I just bought 2 Rachel McLish books on amazon and plan on doing paper workouts for lifting. Going back to the beginning....lifting, yoga and long outside walks. Very basic and simple. I almost just jumped onto 2 bandwagons and decided to wait a bit and glad I did. I think this is what I need a complete change up. |

I just did Kathy Smith's Power Step the other day. I hadn't done it in at least 2 years. It was a total nostalgia workout.
I loved Kathy Smith's step workouts back in the day. This one and Great Buns and Thighs were favorites, but especially Power Step. I wore out two VHS tapes I did it so much back in college. I also loved Karen Voigt, especially Energy Sprint. I don't do much step anymore, but when I do it's one of the oldies. I love Cathe, but I simply can't do those fancy step choreography moves.

My favorite vintage workouts that I will NEVER get rid of are:
My Personal Best Workout (with Karen Voight) - love the music & scenery! Intense Moves (Gin Miller) - those moves never go out of style Wedding Workout - Cathe Weight Loss Workout - Kathy Smith These are all a bit 'easier' than my newer workouts but I don't always want to go all out. The older I get, the more sensible these oldies seem. |

I love Cathe's original Body Max, mainly for the step section that alternates with lower body weights. That workout is unique. I wish she'd done others like it. The later Body Max 2 had choreography that was too complicated for me.

I just did Barry's Bootcamp Fat Blaster Upper Body and it was still challenging yet fun. To be fair, where the band was used, I used weights. I loved the setup of 1 minute for each exercise. I wish more workouts were like this one. Annie Meirs workouts are, but I'm not really a fan.
