SKYPERCISE!!

Hey everyone!
I just thought I'd share this.
I just started an open group on facebook called SKYPERCISE
You can enter it into the search bar on facebook and it should pop up
and if you go to the about tab, there is a longer description of what it's about,
I'll just sum it up real quick and if you're interested you can look it up!
Basically, I'm tired of working out alone, getting lazy with my workouts and skipping days because
I have no accountability with other people! I also just got Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 Days and thought
that since it's an everyday thing i would need some accountability to see what actually happens if I do it
everyday for 30 days.
Obviously it's impossible with the hectic lives of people to get together and workout, especially when there are long distances involved. So I made this group to start having Skype workouts, I'll be pointing the camera at the tv and you don't even have to have your portion of the video on, if you're more comfortable that way and no one else has to buy the DVD, unless they're inclined to do so (it's only like 10$ at walmart, in case you were wondering)
What i'm asking is if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, go to the group and post days/times you're available and I'll make a workout schedule based on that and will be available at least once a day according to everyone's schedules! I also thought this would be really convenient because mostly everyone has a smart phone that can get Skype or you obviously have a computer because you're on here!
Welp, I thought that'd be shorter but anyways, I hope to see some of you!

Oh, lord...I hope not.
I'll look into what is considered illegal for sure! and possibly rename it. it's not like i'm trying to pass skype of as being mine or something but I get what you're saying!
thanks!!0 -

I think he was refering to the broadcasting of the video for others to use....i know most videos have a copyright warning at the beginning about being for personal use only and that they cant be broadcast, but i think thats more for monetary gain....still might want to look into it0

OHHHHHH!!!
Yeah, I didn't think about that either.
Well I'll have a revision then
**Buy your own DVD and we can Skype to encourage each other and have accountability
then there shouldn't be a problem, right?
and I didn't figure I could get in trouble since i won't be making money off of it, it's not like i'm charging people, i'll def look into it though!
thanks guys!0 -
I mean the likelihood of you getting in trouble is slim to none because they're not gonna care that you're sharing the DVD with like what maybe 5 other people hah. But anyways I am mostly commenting to mention that I used to work out over skype with my brother/his gf from home doing JM 30 day shred to keep each other motivated/committed. It was fun! And it was nice to "see" my brother everyday lol. So yeah, not a bad idea!0

Yeah, that's what I was thinking so hopefully it'll work out alright!
That's awesome! I just know a lot of people, myself included, skip workouts when "we don't fell like it" when we are totally capable of doing it if we just had a little motivation/accountability0 -
i like the idea, ive owned the 30ds for over a month but not got round to starting it! something like this might get me started0
