Celebration Weekend Recap
It's Monday again. How do they keep coming faster? Did you get a lot done this weekend or spend it getting into mischief? We started off the weekend right with a Friday night viewing of Spaceballs to honor the newly released news of Spaceballs 2 . It was kind of funny because all I could hear during the movie were the times my dad laughed at certain parts when we went to see it in theaters. I'm glad I have a few good memories like that of him. Several weeks ago, the Mr saw some travel article about an old school donut shop he wanted to go to sometime. (We're suckers for the old school places over the decorate a crappy cake donut places.) This was how he wanted to celebrate his well earned victory on his test last Thursday. We were on the road pretty early. I knew it was supposed to rain in the morning but we didn't care for the dubious looking clouds. It went from ominous to sheeting rain: It got to 5 ft visibility at one poin...
Zumba, Tae Bo, and I have a couple odd old VHS tapes in my cupboard from "back in the day" but I can't remember which ones off-hand.
ReplyDeleteI remember using the Jane Fonda "tape" a lot back in the early 80's. I also like Richard Simmon's Dancing to the Oldies.
ReplyDeleteRichard Simmon's Dancing ot the Oldies, his walking tapes to put in my walkman, and going even further back, watching his TV show after school with my mom and sister and doing the workouts. I even had his record album which had a booklet of workout moves!!! (I bet the album is still at my mom's house!)
ReplyDeleteI totally did Step. It took me forever to learn to grapevine left off the stupid step.
ReplyDeleteWay, way back in the day Richard Simmons had a morning TV show geared towards women. He always did some stretching activities toward the end of the show.
ReplyDeleteMy personal favorite is Denise Austin. During the mid to late 90's she had 2 workout shows on Lifetime. Depending on my schedule I'd either get up and do them both or record them. I even took a full video cassette of the shows with me on vacation just so I could keep up my workouts. She helped me lose 50 lbs and got me moving again. Many workouts I do today remind me of hers.
I think the key to a good workout, whether it is a fad or not, is that the moves involved are classic.
Hula Hoop is a great workout for me and cheap too!
ReplyDeleteMine was the Susan Powter videos. I still will use one of them every once in a while because she always showed modifications with the stepper. She's off her rocker now, but back then, she was very common sense and her workouts were intense. I still have the Thighmaster, too! *snort*
ReplyDeleteI got such a kick out of Joanie Greggains (and I'll bet there's a tape around here somewhere!)
ReplyDeleteCan't talk about fads without adding in Buns of Steel!! LOL
