In the meantime, as our country looks back to that great historical day that we as a young nation declared our independence, I, too, will celebrate a little history in my Adventures in Fitness series.
If you are a video workout junkie like me, you may recognize the three ladies above who joined the likes of Jane Fonda, Denise Austin, and Joannie Greggains by launching a brand new exercise industry in the form of VHS tapes and thirty-minute morning shows when I was a teen some thirty years ago.
Some of my best memories of those years are having a living room full of sisters and cousins working out daily to The Twenty-Minute not once, but twice, a day in the summer of 1983.
(I actually own The Twenty-Minute Workout VHS, but, at my age, it looks like doing this particular workout is only ever going to be a memory.)
Since those days of big teased hair, leotards, and leg warmers, video workouts have transformed in a major way. What hasn't changed is that doing at-home workouts in the living area in front of the TV is still a convenient, effective, great way to keep fit.
So next week, I won't only be pulling out the red, white, and blue...I will be pulling out my Top Five Retro Workouts from the 1980s and 1990s. They are the reason why I will always own a combination DVD/VHS player.
Some things, like independence and a little fun, never get old. So see you next week for a look back at some of my favorite classics.
