I was reading some posts on Facebook from some nieces and a sister – they were talking about exercise videos. They do have their favorites. Hilari’s favorite is so old, it is a VHS. Her ancient VCR finally ate the tape and sent it to VHS heaven, so she has ordered it on DVD. Gayle says Callanetics is an arse-kicker; Jen says she loves Pilates – doesn’t get as good results as with Callanetics, but she feels really good after. And I don’t know what Minna is, but they seem to like it, too. Rachel’s favorite is an older one from 1984 by Marine Jahan, the woman who did the dancing for Jennifer Beals, apparently – says it seriously burns calories.
And you know what? I don’t know what those ladies are thinking – but I have tried Pilates and Callanetics. I have watched each of those dvds several times – in fact, Gayle gave me the Callanetics. Watched them many, many times. Nothing, and I mean nothing, has happened!

Anyway, my favorite exercise is reading.

Dying laughing! Ok love the picture, you look a bit like my Mama here. And yeah, just watching them doesn't cause much of a jump in heart rate, well not for me anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that you mention Rachel and Jennifer Beals in the same sentence, cuz Jennifer Beals has always reminded me of Rachel, for as long as I can remember!
ReplyDeleteIt's so strange they didn't work for you by watching them over & over & yet again - I'm wondering if this is why the Callanetics didn't work for Norjane either!!! ;-)
