    Before the age of video I did Richard Simmons' workout ALBUM. Forget what it was called......

    It was on tv but the first workout "video" I did was 20 minute workout. Tae Bo was the first one I really got into though.

    My exercise days go back to before there were home videos to exercise to!

    My first at home exercise program: Exercise with Gloria (my mom gave me her old LP & instruction book)

    Then in the early 80's I started working out to: Carol Hensel's Exercise and Dance Program (also an LP and instruction book)

    and then, when I got a VCR, I graduated to Richard Simmon's Sweating to the Oldies!

    My exercise days go back further as well. I joined my first gym in 1975, when I was 14 and they believed it was bad for kids to do resistance training younger that that. My yearly membership was $44.00.

    If you count childhood, then the first exercise programs I ever did were on TV with Jack LaLanne and Exercise with Gloria. I was a skinny little kid, but it was fun to exercise with my mother, and Gloria often had her children exercising with her.

    I don't really know. I've honestly always hated work out videos. I remember doing some terrible yoga video in middle school. I just have no enjoyed most of the ones I've tried. I had a yoga video which was okay, but now I much prefer to do yoga without it. I do like the POP Pilates videos, but that's about it.

    Running from my mom chasing after me with the wooden spoon...

    Still running to this day...with her not from her though. She's my inspiration. At nearly 50, she can knock out at least 4-6 miles on the daily.

    Whoops...just realized this was first exercise VID...hmmm probably a yoga dvd xD

    30 Day Shred in February of this year. Now I'm a hardcore Jillian fan. Not so much a fan of *her*, but a fan of her dvds.

    I played soccer most of my life, but for at home exercise, mine was not a video, but Denise Austin on TV. Like on ESPN or something like that. I would tape them. This was in my teens. Then I moved to step aerobics, but I can't even remember her name. Mostly Denise Austin videos though.

    I remember in the 90's Alyssa Milano had a workout VHS called Teen Steam. Never did it though.

    Also my roommate in college had the Jennie Garth workout tape (Beverly Hills 90210). It wasn't half bad..

    Tae Bo! And my other young mom friends would come over with their kiddos, we'd push all the furniture back & punch & kick it out while the kids played. :)
