I keep my resistance band near my computer and when I log into SP I can do a quick video at that time. It is good way to add a few fitness minutes on a day when you do not have another fitness activity planned or are pressed for time. - 3/8/2013 11:03:42 PM

How to save to Favorites!!! On the left side of your computer screen is a vertical listing of sites to "save" the video. Towards the bottom is the Icon with a Heart and says Save. This button saves it to your favorites in Spark.

Took me a while, but I figured it out! - 10/15/2012 9:44:03 AM
