More Youtube

While Chair Dancing with JPYoga/Yoga Visa, I discovered

and

ZDancerLiz

Ingrid_Lopes71

Finally, casual dance routines whether standing or sitting with a pleasant instructor and music.

Fired Up Dance Fitness looks good too.

Downloading and Ripping Update

For downloading videos from youtube and facebook,
I use 4K Video Downloader.
Free version has ads which do not bother me.
https://www.4kdownload.com/downloads
However, this option does not function as well as it used to for youtube.

A better youtube (and VK option) is GetVideo
For Windows program download https://getvideo.org/en/download

also for youtube YouTubeByClick https://www.youtubebyclick.com/

Another youtube download option:
Ummy
https://ummy.net

(many downloads are now limited to 360 mp4)

For downloading video files on Chrome,
try the Video DownloadHelper extension which has been used on Firefox  for several years.
I still like Stream Video Downloader but my Windows 7 laptop no longer likes it LOL


For ripping a DVD, try Handbrake
https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

For Windows, Freemake Video Converter for ripping and burning dvds
I prefer an older version of Freemake Video Converter (GOLD)
4.1.9.12 from 2016
and refuse all updates
(just close the pop up window for an update)

There are lots of sites that offer older Freemake versions
but if you have an old setup file still on you pc,
try that after uninstalling the newer Freemake version you do not want.

If installing an older version of Freemake,
refuse all optional offers to avoid bloatware.
If you want to get rid of bloatware
try malwarebytes adcleaner

Sarina on FaceBook Live

The Canadian Barefoot Dancer (Sarina Condello ) offers a FaceBook Live video on Saturday mornings while everyone is staying at home because of the pandemic..


Today's with her son was so much fun.
https://www.facebook.com/sarina.condello/videos/10219838030674954


I cannot stop smiling!

Sarina has made Saturday my favorite day of the week.
Here is another gift:
https://www.facebook.com/sarina.condello/videos/10219918584448748


Her son just makes me smile and even LOL.


In contrast, I am dumping Misty Tripoli who complained about an unnecessary (to her) quarantine in Mexico.  I have all of her dvds from her very first series and have subbed to her streaming for a month a few times a year.  (Thankfully did not get stuck in an annual subscription).
Sometimes she seemed self-absorbed, mugging and posing for the camera, but I gave her the benefit of doubt till she posted a video this past week that exposed her real self.  Instead of helping her fans feel better during this pandemic, she is resenting stay at home policies.
I'll never be able to enjoy dancing with her again, knowing how self-centered she truly is.
Most Mexicans know they are lucky that their government acted aggressively to contain Covid19.
trump could have saved 90% of our deaths if he had acted just 2 weeks sooner or listened to the advice of the Obama transition team.
trump's wall is now beneficial to Mexico keeping Americans out.

Youtube Stuff

Having a ROKU has made working out with youtube channels much nicer.
Many instructors have been uploading stuff since social distancing prevented classes.

The ReboundUK Rebound Fitness channel has been uploading a bunch of rebounding routines on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/user/reboundUK/videos


Here are other channels worth checking out for new content with decent music:

Terri Armstrong (Zumba)

Natalya K

However, I found the above too intense for me and returned to an old favorite

BollyX Zooms

Unlike other ZOOM classes which are only LIVE and may cost $10 to enter and are not downloadable,  BollyX is archiving their ZOOM classes which makes their lifetime purchase a sweet deal.
https://bod.bollyx.com/


BollyX have a beta ROKU app but the ZOOMs are not yet showing up.
