    The Firm workout with weights, it was the first vcr tape of the series with master instructor Susan Harris in her yellow body suit and leg warmers. It's still one of the best workout that combines cardio with weights. I still have it and use it and it still kicks my butt! They were ahead of the game. The new firm cd's they all sound like stepford wives!

    Way, way, way back in the day my college roommate and I used to work out to Jane Fonda's albums.....Had to follow along with a book!!! Half the time we didn't even know if we were doing the moves correctly.

    Kathy Smith's 'Ultimate Video Workout'. It originally came out in 1986 or 1987 when I was in high school. My dance teacher actually recommended it to our modern jazz class. It was re-released again at least once, but the choreography and workout clothing is definitely mid-80's at its best.

    Around 1990, I started using The Firm. They were one of the first workout series that encouraged women to lift heavier weights if they wanted a strong, feminine physique. I still remember how horrified my mother was when she saw my 20 lb. dumbells! LOL

    YESSSS! Do you remember how expensive they were - like $49.99 - which is more than exercise videos are, even now. I actually did personal training sessions with Susan Harris a couple times. She is super nice!

    I remember Richard Simmons, although he is too irritating for me. I had/have a Jane Fonda. My absolute favorite though is Kathy Smith's Fat Loss Workout. I have had it since the 80's i think and when the VCR tape died i bought the dvd of it. You can tell it is a make over though as the sound doesn't quite match up with the moves.

    Still one of my favorites though. I am doing 30 day shred now though and it is a tougher workout.

    The first one that I remember doing was a step video. Did it in the basement of the house so I didn't bother my parents. I don't remember if anyone famous hosted it, I just remember my parents buying me the video and step together (I was a teen at the time). Not just to help lose weight, but get my legs in good shape for skiing and soccer.

    And I do miss skiing and soccer.
