Hi All,

I'm thinking about joining Netflix or Blockbuster online so I can get an everchanging variety of workout dvds so I don't get bored and so I can get more variety. Of course, this is in theory. Right now, I'm lucky if the twins will let me see 10 minutes of anything but my ultimate goal is to be able to have an actual, structured time where I can workout. But, my question is . . . does anyone have a preference when it comes to Netflix or Blockbuster when it comes to choice/variety? I've been a member of both in the past but never used the service for workout videos.

Thanks for all your help!!

    I just had to say that I love your picture! I have twin girls and I remember when I used to take pictures of the sleeping next to each other! How precious:flowerforyou:

    We use blockbuster, because we like the instore exchanges that we also get each month. I have never gotten exercise videos from them, but I have found that they have a great collection of DVDs.

    A snotty clerk turned me off to Blockbuster, so I use Netflix. :tongue:

    I'm a documentary freak and I love their selection. :smile:

    Thanks for the :bigsmile: for the munchkins. It's funny 'cause now I can't get them both in the same picture. One's usually going in one direction and the other the opposite way.

    I used Netflix and I got a lot of great dvd's. to me they had a better variety to choose from than blockbuster and they received more the newer dvd's faster.

    Netflix all the way. Get my movies faster. Some of their exercise videos are available to watch instantly
    Nice to watch online and see if it is a good workout or not.

    Netflix all the way!! I get two movies at a time, watch one, drop it in the mail and by the time I watch the second one my next one has arrived! I've been really impressed with their selection (haven't found anything I wanted to see that they didn't have) and their turn-around time (2 days for me).

    :flowerforyou:
