Long before I knew Rick, and long before many of you could ride your new bike with training wheels, TV shows on aerobics became the fad. Jane Fonda started it with her VCR tapes and others followed suit. Yes, I had (and still do!) the entire collection from Gilad to Jane to Susan Anton. One show, in particular, was popular in 1983 and 1984 called the
:20 Minute Workout. Bess Motta was my hero - she went onto to have a tiny part in a
Terminator Movie (of course Arnold killed her). The routine took only 20 minutes and that was it for the day. There was timer counting down the workout as you followed girls doing stretches, jumps, skips, hops, and ending with more stretches. The camera crew was really enjoying themselves the entire time (shots between legs, cleavage, etc - you get the picture). Thinking back, THAT was the exercise of that era.
Aerobics. On hard floors in scantily clad attire. Yup, I still have my leg warmers too. And Bess Motta? Well, she's 50 now, check how she looks today --
BESS MOTTA.COM. My, how far we've come. Ha!

Ah yes, Jane Fonda was great, before she became political. What about Olivia Newton John? Or didn't she do any exercise videos and I'm just thinking about her Let's Get Physical music video?
She's hot!!! ;)
