DVD+ Downloads vs Downloads only?

[shannoncorrin]

I purchased my first downloads during the presale of Crossfire and To the Max, and I love them. I havent had any problems with them or the workout blender. I still ordered the DVDs though, and find myself using those mostly, but I use the downloads when I travel or want to create my own mix.

I was planning on purchasing the Xtrain presale, but Im torn if I want to order both the DVD and downloads again, or if I should jump feet first and just purchase the downloads (which is significantly cheaper than purchasing both). Im worried that I wont use the workouts as much because its not as simple as popping a DVD in and hitting play, especially when all my other workouts are that easy. Has anyone else made this leap of faith and purchased just downloads (when your new to downloads like me). Are you happy with your decision?

Thanks!

Last year I went back and forth on whether I should get DVDs or downloads. I ended up getting the downloads because there is a deal that the more downloads you order the greater discount you get. I loaded up and pretty much got all the videos I had wanted! Santa gave me Apple TV for Christmas and I LOVE it!!!!!! I keep all my videos on an external harddrive and haven't had an issue with anything.

I will say that I do miss having the premixes. I haven't had time to really mess with the workout blender. I tried a couple times and couldn't get it to work, but I wasn't trying super hard either. I bought a few strength DVDs just to have some shorter premixes. But if you got the workout blender going then you are all set! Sometime when I have some extra time (ya right!), I want to sit down and make the premixes for the different videos.

I haven't preordered yet, but I'm going to. I went back and forth trying to figure out if I should just get the downloads or get both. I decided to go with both since it was such a good deal. I'm just waiting for Butts and Guts to be the deal of the day. I hope it happens soon!!!

Hope that helps a little. Good luck!

Thank you!

I really appreciate your feedback. Im glad you mentioned that the downloads dont have premixes, because I wasnt even considering that. it seems so silly that you pay the same amount for the DVDs and the downloads, and the downloads arent a physical product and they dont even have the premixes.

I think Im going to do both now too. I tried to get my ipod touch to hook up with my TV, and I cant figure it out. it would be great if I could, but no such luck

The reason they are the same prices is because you can make the premixes yourself with the workout blender (but I'm still having issues and can't get it to work). You can look in the workout manager and see what chapters are in different premixes, and then make it with the blender. Hope it works for you!
