Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I know this list is focused on the food, but I wanted to quickly share two resources I just discovered. As I have mentioned here before, in the last couple of months I have discovered the convenience and flexibility of home workouts with DVDs. I stumbled across a wonderful community of people who use workout videos. They have a very warm and welcoming forum and tons of video reviews and a big tutorial with suggestions for beginners and all kinds of great stuff. http://www.videofitness.com/ The other resource I found is a catalog of workout videos where every video listed has been actually used by an exercise instructor. The instructors write reviews and people who use the videos write reviews. Every video has a one-minute sampler clip so you can see the exercise style, etc. and there is a very detailed rating system that quickly tells you what level the video is, what type of exercise, how complicated the choreography, etc. as well as a visual aid showing the number of minutes of each section, such as warm-up, toning, aerobics, cool-down, etc. Finally, there is an excellent search feature that allows you to isolate just beginner videos, just intermediate, etc. (I am not affiliated with this business. I just think their catalog is a great resource for finding new videos to work with, regardless of where you choose to buy them.) http://www.collagevideo.com/ I hope someone finds these resources helpful.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 > I know this list is focused on the food . . . Yes, one focus, but another focus is perfectly okay: as the home page adds 'and friendly vegetarian chat around our dining table' - just keep it friendly and relevant to vegetarians Exercise is relevant for a healthy lifestyle, and many veggies are here for health as well as those here for ethical or religious reasons. > wanted to quickly share > two resources I just discovered. > http://www.videofitness.com/ I've bookmarked this and will be having a better look at it later.

Great idea to be able to check them out this way Then I can either order from my library or buy 'em. Thanks, Sparrow!
