My college roommate texted me today saying she tried out Sweatin' To The Oldies today and it kicked her butt! I told her to bring it back to school this fall so we can do it together!

I found a video of it online if anyone else would like to feel nostalgic (for the music or for him) while they work out.

    Hah! I just realized I clicked the Food and Nutrition category by accident! Let's pretend this is in the Fitness forum (or move it?)

    I actually have these and use them. As funny as it sounds, it truly is a workout for me. I like it because it's "real" people... and they are fun. I'm not sure I would actually admit it in public (other than on a forum like this), HA!!

    I have been in love with Richard since the 1980's, when I was just a kid... A lot of people make fun of him, but he's so sweet and passionate about helping people. He and I emailed each other a few years ago when I was really down about my diabetes and needed support. He's a wonderful guy and very inspiring!! I LOVE RICHARD!! (and I'm not ashamed to say it!) :laugh:
