I've wanted to do this entry for MONTHS, but I never really found the time to sit down and do it. Then I was exposed to the first time and reading his pontifications on dead soda flavors made me realize that I TOO could blog about something nobody cares about but could be good for a few laughs: exercise videos circa the 1990s.
I've never been much for sports, but my mother got big into her diet and exercise craze when I was around 10-11 or so and my father and I kind of got dragged along by proxy. She bought a lot of exercise videos during this time, and I'd probably done most of them a countless number of times between the ages of 11 to 14, when I was finally allowed to go to my mother's women-only gym (which, despite my egalitarian "Is it right to have a women-only gym?" hand-wringing, I have to admit I liked quite a lot). There's a couple of things that stick with you after watching enough of one video so much that it would drive you crazy if you didn't have an ulterior motive. And I want to share them with you today.
( And six more ... and four more ... and two more ... )
Well, that was ... three hours I spent talking about working out that I could have spent ... working out. I think I'll celebrate by going to the mall. :-P
