Today I did Donna Richardson's Donna-Mite Aerobic Workout from the list in the first post. I didn't preview much, so I had to concentrate a little so I didn't miss any of the turns. There is a warm-up, four combinations, and a cool-down. There is a modifier (who I think is responsible for most of the whooping...) in case you don't want to do any turns or jumps. I liked the pace and the choreography wasn't too complex. Fun music and fun moves!

Today was Joanie Greggins:Sculpt & Stretch One of the background exercisers was a gorgeous senior citizen with a body that most 20 year old girls would envy. The power of a proper diet and exercise to keep one youthful is amazing.

29 Minute Workout (voice-over drill sergeant! )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDOqFRB7aSM&t=1187s (I only did the first 20 minutes of aerobics and skipped the remaining 9 minute floorwork -- when I had the VHS tape, I never bothered with the floorwork) Nautilus High-Low Impact Aerobics (abruptly stops at the 20 minute mark) (I did the cooldown from Nautilus Low Impact Aerobics) Notes:

I had planned to do Buns of Steel today, but I did Joanie Greggains Sculpt and Stretch instead.
Sculpt and Stretch has a warm-up, four sculpting sections, and a short stretch and relaxation at the end. Weights and ankle weights are both optional; I used 3 lb. weights to try it out. There is a seconds long preview of the exercises before each sculpting section, which I found helpful to set up for the next set of exercises or get a swig of water. Joanie gave form pointers throughout and offered modifications for some moves. There is a brief stretch at the end of each section which Joanie calls an active rest. I also liked the background exercisers; they seemed genuinely happy to be there and were not annoying or intrusive to the workout. The only thing that bothered me a little was the music seemed too loud at times. I had only done Joanie Greggains' Holiday Workout previously and I like it, especially around Thanksgiving or Christmas. I enjoyed Sculpt and Stretch, too. I felt great after! I noticed this channel uploaded other Joanie Greggains workouts, too, which I would like to try. There are also other retro workouts uploaded, including a lot of Denise Austin.

I did Jane Fonda's Total Body Stretch to finish off the weekend. It was short (about 15 minutes) and relaxing. Jane uses a step with risers and a towel. She starts out sitting and finishes with standing stretches. I used a chair and slightly modified; I think you could just do this sitting on the floor and modify some poses, too. I used a yoga strap instead of a towel.
It was fun to try some retro workouts this weekend! |
