Workout DVD regrets

[mini-natty]

These are my DVD's that I regret purchasing. Right now they are sitting lonely on my shelf collecting dust, waiting for another chance.

1. The whole KettleWorx series. The worst Kettle Bell workouts ever! I can't believe I invested in that crap (yes, I said crap. I don't say that lightly).

2. Billy Blanks Cardio Sculpt. HATED IT. Sorry Billy.

3. Turbo Jam (given to me). Thank goodness this was not a purchase! I would have kicked myself in the rear for this one!

4. TBL Power Sculpt. A total joke. Even for beginners. Advanced people would seriously laugh at this.

5. Jackie Warner's Xtreme Timesaver & Abs.


Please share your regrets. I can't be the only one who made bad choices here....

I regret buying Amy Dixon Breathless Body. I have to admit that I've only tried it once, and maybe I would change my mind if I tried it again. While it was intense, I found it to be really boring and quickly lost interest. I just haven't felt like picking it up and trying it again (especially since getting LIS).

Cardio Sculpt by Billy Blanks - the pace was just too fast for good form and effective strength training.

Back in the 90s, I bought a Karen Voight step workout. It was the most boring workout I ever bought. I only did it once.

Stephanie Huckabee PowerFit 5 disk workout....I don't care for resistance band workouts.

Almost all my Pilates dvds. I don't get the appeal of Pilates but I will keep them because they could be helpful when recovering from an injury or surgery.

Marisa Tomei's Core & Curves. It is a staff favorite at Collagevideo.com-why is beyond me.

Supreme 90- I just don't like the crew- they seem bored to death! Thankfully it was only $20.

Jillean Michaels- maybe I should give it another try- her personality is just not Cathe was my issue.

Anything Denise Austin (now I'm dating myself!) She is saccharine coated.

The Wave- total impulse purchase!

Billy Blanks Tae Bo All that counting, drives me nuts.

I second Kettleworx Big waste of money. I love kettlebell just not this one.

The Firm Wave. Stupid ! Dont know why I bought this one.

Chalene Extreme HATED IT !!

[DirtDiva]

1. Chalene's Turbo stuff although it was humorous at times.

2. KCM, and I know that she is well-liked, but I could not get into the 30 minute workouts or her style. They were all too easy.

3. Tony's One on One's.

4. Supreme 90 (I admit I bought this because of the low price, but you get what you pay for).

I just purged these DVDs by donating:

1. all Winsor Pilates
2. all Tae Bo
3. all Denise Austen
4. Kathy Smith Timesaver Weights
5. all Tamilee Webb (except the original Buns of Steel and Science of Fitness)

Wish I could get back the cash I spent on these. Sheesh!

I have several dvd regrets, but I'll post just a few.

Anything Billy Banks. OMG, that annoying counting! WTH?!!

P90X2...I have STS, what was I thinking?! At one time I loved P90X, but I can't get back into it after STS. I love straight forward, old school, weight lifting.P90X2 has too much going on and not enough of what I like.

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, I don't like her personality.

I just don't like Jillian's personality either.

I saw Dirtdiva posted she regretted KCM....now generally Dirtdiva and I agree... and I do agree in that KCM's workouts are not as difficult as Cathe's, but I like Kelly's personality and I just use her workouts on easier days to just do something.

I have about 5 of the newer pink FIRM's collecting dust. I guess it takes me time to learn...sometimes they sound so good and then I hope they are ...and then they are not...but I have finally learned! I regret them though.

I also regret getting Jari Love's "Get Extremely Ripped 1000"....Her form is just so bad sometimes .... when she does stationary lunges her knee goes over her toe....ouch! and when she does bicep curls, I swear she is damaging her wrists because she just lets them flop back....it is also dark ....it is just too distressing all around for me to watch it...from the darkness to the crazy workout outfits to the bad form...
