Another priceless intro is on the VHS of Firm Standing Legs, where the leggy hostess does a cartwheel into the room.

Salina Bartunek! She was buff!

Anyway...I am another one who has the Latoya Jackson Step workout. I like it though, it helps that Gay Gasper leads it. I pull it out now and then and do it, it's a good intermediate step workout that is all low impact.

I used to have Joannie Greggains Holiday Workout but I sold it years ago.

Lucky Vanous anyone? The hot guy in Pepsi commercials, oh, so many years ago. Ya, I have that.

I have a workout calles "Schvitz!" It's in Yiddish. I didn't get through 10 minutes of it, but it's a keeper. It starts with a Jewish grandma (in tights, I think) dancing around saying you should do your own warm-up. She flicks a feather duster around and says something about using housework as a warm-up. The workout features a man and woman doing basic strength exercises. The grandma counts every single rep. If nothing else, you will learn to count to twenty in Yiddish. Guaranteed.

I have that Joanie christmas workout - but as the result of a thread a few yrs ago! I actually thought about pulling it out and doing it for the first time a few months ago when I started back exercising - yep in April!

I would buy a Leslie christmas workout in a heartbeat - an Ellen Barrett one too - or classical stretch.something I already buy just because they have a new one out!

hmm can't think of the most ridiculous workout I still own - the worse I EVER owned was back in '89/'90 when I bought the playgirl workout - horrible! can't even describe it other than this group in a circle and crotch shots(clothed!) and I didnt' get through 5 minutes of it. now I dunno what I have to fit this category...

I don't own the Holiday workout, but I've done those hour and a half Christmas Eve aerobics at the gym. I love working out with Christmas music.

Whoah!

I love the comment on YouTube:

I bought his exercise video and wore the hell out of it. Sometimes I even exercised! Hahahaha

Some of these have me LOL

Can it be I don't own any cringe-worthy workouts? I do admit I don't display Yoga Booty Ballet because the name is so ridiculous. And I was humiliated many years ago when a friend of DH's saw a VHS case with The Firm on the spine, said "oh, the Tom Cruise movie!", took it off the shelf and got an eyeful of Susan Harris in her Volume 1 yellow leotard, posing in that cheesy 80s Firm way.
