bad addiction

i seem to have become addicted to buying videos. I just bought the pure strength series and GSL. It seems like i'm ordering 2 videos about every couple of weeks. Plus i just ordered the troy light barbell set b/c my barbell set is a pain in the a** to change weight quickly. I may be going broke but i'm going to look damn good doing it:)
 
It is actually a good addiction, but make sure that you are not breaking the bank here! :)

I am the same way as you - but unfortunately I have to pay an expensive mortgage with DH and I cannot buy too many Cathe's all at once like I would LOVE to do!

Have fun! :)

I save up for my Cathe habit and try to get to just over $100 so I can get the free shipping. I haven't bought anything in a few months - I have a good variety as is, and I'm waiting for the presale.
 
I think a lot of us on here probably have this addiction. If I'm not waiting for a new DVD (or two or three) to arrive in the mail, then I'm scouting the sporting goods stores for new equipment. A new barbell is also on my wishlist since I've been borrowing my hubby's and it takes forever to change the weights.

Yes I know what you mean. I am waiting for High Step Challenge and Muscle Max (which I am hoping will arrive today) and next week I have coming Bootcamp/ME, Bodymax 2, Low Impact Circuit, Cardio Fusion and SJP/SB. I will have all except some very early ones which I don't think I will bother about. I am waiting for the presale now. My DH and credit card are thanking me that I have stopped buying for the moment.

Hi Karie
That is excatly how i got to own them all once i started it seemed i was ordering more each week. Its good to spend money on ourselfs once in a while even if we cant actually afford it ;-)

I just got back from vacation and I have literally no extra money. I am so depressed because I really want the Gym Styles series, Cardio Fusion, Low Max, a new barbell, etc. and I just can't afford it. :-(
 
I just bit the bullet and bought one of those all inclusive packages. I just loved it! It also got it all done at once.

GRRRRRRRR...I just bought the high step with the three high step videos. Last week I ordered Jari Love's Ripped 1000, Ripped to the Core and Ripped Slim and Lean (or something like that). Two weeks before that I ordered Core Max and Cardio Fusion. Now, I want the Squeeze vid that everyone's talking about (not to mention the Fluidity stuff since everyone seems to be raving about it).

MAKE IT STOP!!!
 
you sound like me:) my personal opinion, i ordered the fluidity system and sent it back like a couple weeks later. I just didn't care for the workouts. just my opinion though. i didn't feel it was very challenging even the advanced workout. good luck
 
I just ordered High Step Circuit, Challenge and Training but I haven't received them yet. Now I want to buy The Gym Style series but out of guilt for spending so much I think I will wait a little while and just used Muscle Endurance. You are not alone!
 
i did cardio fusion for the first time this morning. I decided to get over my perfectionism about not getting it right immediately. I had a blast and it opened a whole other can of worms. Now i'm going to start to get cardio videos as well. I want to get IMAX3 and low max next.
 
I bought all of Cathe's videos with the exception of a couple like the Classics in a couple of years. I got rid of all my other videos with the exception of P90X. None of the others compare.

Now I've slowed down my spending especially because I'm training for a marathon and can't do Cathe's cardio so much (unless it rains!). I'm using her weight workouts though. I plan on buying her new videos for Christmas. By then the marathon will be over and I can go back to using her workouts.
 
Yes, we all share that same addiction. Thank GOD, we have a safe place here to talk about it. Really, I have no funds either cause of my new car and my frequest air travel but I will stretch my plastic for Cathe so I am waiting on that new series to come out.
 
I usually wait until I finish one month of DVD's workouts then I reward myself with a set of new DVDs. Hey it's better than chocolate icecream rewards.:p
 
Hey I thought I was the only one with this type of addiction...but hey it's better than chocolate addiction. :9
 
Funny, this has happened to me too! And I have our first baby on the way and we're in the midst of buying a new home in New England ($$$$$$$!!) before the baby comes. So...I have to put the brakes on.

I keep thinking that we all have so many DVDs but we get bored, it would be cool if we could "trade" each other the ones we're not currently working out with. This way we get to try before we buy or still mix things up a bit...it would at least slow down spending. I know this would require TRUSTING the person you trade with, but there's gotta be a way to do it so you don't get screwed and wind up giving all of your DVDs away.

Does anyone know of anything like this where people trade DVDs? I don't imagine this site sanctioning trading since it's an ecommerce site -- the point is to SELL DVDs and obviously (for us) it's working! :)

CG - I do a lot of buying and trading on the "yayas swapmeet." Here is a link http://p199.ezboard.com/ffirmbeliversfrm13

I have never had a problem trading or buying from anyone. Everyone has a mutual interest of not getting ripped off and typically you can find things for about half of the retail cost or make even trades, etc.

I have gotten to the point where I have so many new workouts that I have not completely done yet that it's just plain silly for me to keep buying them. I have all the Cathe's that really interest me and lots of other instructors. Before I allow myself to buy anything else, I need to at least get through all these new ones and maybe trade any I don't like before getting any more. Of course, the new Cathe's are exempt from this. The minute she announces the presale, I'm on it.
 
Hi Tess,

That's cool, thanks for the link. I'll check it out, it sounds exactly like what I had in mind.

Enjoy all your videos!!
