I feel like doing something different today, plus it's something funny to watch while I work out. Does anyone know what we're the good aerobic work outs to do in the 80s.
I actually even have a pair of leg Warmers.
Thanks for your help

    Jane Fonda and Kathy Smith were the big VHS aerobics trainers, right? I went on a DVD buying binge a couple of months ago on Amazon and I know their older stuff is also available in DVD.

    Jazzercize. No really. My mom had the ALBUM on VINYL. And the lady on the cover was wearing leg warmers.

    It's still around! http://www.jazzercise.com/

    The original buns of steel tapes were good.

    Sounds like a fun idea. My first thought was Jane Fonda, and I see another poster suggested her. I'll add Richard Simmons to the mix. He used to have shows on tv when I was a kid (early 80's). There were a lot of people crammed into his studio, so it would probably be pretty entertaining to watch while working out.

    I wish gym's would do this. It would be so fun.

    Jane Fonda's workout--celebrity endorsed!
    Jazzercise--no jazz hands, I swear.
    Richard Simmons--kinda celebrity endorsed but the shorts, you'll burn more cals laughing at those & the 'fro.
    Buns of Steel--it's like getting titanium butt implants!
    Reebok Step Aerobics--just fun and a little bit dangerous, but mostly fun.
    Aerobicize-- totally pornal! Remember this one? http://www.aerobicise.com/ , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlksFQQcrIU

    Hands down Richard Simmons. Find Sweatin' to the Oldies, and you can go double-retro!

    Oh *kitten* I am totally gonna do this? But are they fun spiced up new versions or will I actually feel like I'm in some low budget time warp situation?

    ETA: Okay, hyper coffee moment over. I changed my mind....

    Everything old is new again.

    I do step aerobics twice a week and I still have some Jazzercise classes left that I bought via Groupon. It's still a popular workout.

    If I could find a class like this though, outdoors, and overlooking the ocean, in cali, I'd be all over that!

    ETA: yes I know it's a flashmob, but still that's how I wanna workout.
