Aloha Friday workout!

Aloha everyone!

It's Friday, which means that over at An Island Life it is time for Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays we take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, she asks a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. Then everyone else asks a simple question of their own blog for others to answer.

In my early teens my mom got The Jane Fonda workout Challenge. It had it all folks - leg warmers, headbands, mood lighting, snappy little tunes, and french cut leotards. I was a little suspect BUT it was really good workout as long as NOBODY witnessed me doing it. I still have the VHS tape and when I need a little pick-me-up (a good laugh), I pop it in. My kids wonder what is wrong with the "dancing people" but try to dance along. I see they have clips of it on YouTube. Good, clean fun!

I recently got rid of dozens of exercise videos. They were terrible. I was always in search of a keeper. You know, one that gives you a complete work out in, oh, about 10 minutes. The only ones I have kept, besides my original Jane, are the Cindy Crawford , the next challenge. A nice workout for legs, arms, lower back, abs.....without all the dancing around. It's pretty low impact. The old Tae-Bo Advanced workout which gives a good aerobic activity. I've tried a bunch of his newer stuff and I still liked this the best. And the Kathy Smith Step video - which is basic and boring but I could do it while I was pregnant and can do the first two levels with a bjorned baby on my front (have I mentioned she has issues with down time).

So here is my question:

Can you recommend any exercise video that is worth purchasing? There are days that I just would rather not go to the gym!

Don't forget to visit An Island Life for more Aloha Friday fun!

I'll leave you with this....
