What I'm Reading This Week #21
Happy Friday all! I am beyond thrilled to not having to babysit seedlings indoors anymore. I know I need to babysit them outside now but I am going to have to do some serious research on how to stop algae and white mold because I feel like I tried all of the tricks and nothing helped. I can't wait for them to actually bloom. Well, my cantaloupe have flowers on them. I guess I'll have to get some knee high panty hose to hang them from on the trellis. I'll be keeping my eye on those bucket crops because I know it won't be long before critters try to come after them and when they do, I have insect nets waiting for them. HISS! So we'll see how phase two goes. Now let's phase into: 5 Best Compound Exercises to Strengthen Your Whole Body (Get twice as much done in half the time!) 10 Anti-Inflammatory Foods You Should Be Eating, According to Registered Dietitians (I wish I liked avocados, maybe if I made a sassy guac/salsa combo w...
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
