My mom once ordered a 'no exercise' weight loss video... where you lost weight by using breathing techniques. Don't remember who it was by... but it was damn funny. I think my mom lost a couple of pounds from laughing so hard.

And I was given copies of "Hip Hop Abs" by Insanity's Shaun T... looked quite amusing as well... until I tried to do the 'last minute abs' video.... it's five minutes long... about 2.5 minutes in, I didn't find it so funny.

    Easily anything by Richard Simmons' in the eighties. At a sleepover, my girls and I once pulled out an old video my friend's mother had. I've never seen anything more ridiculously goofy in my life. :laugh:

    Funny. Thinking back, I thought some of the dance routines from Shaun T's Rockin Body (disco? really?) looked pretty stupid but yeah... after I tried them I wasn't laughing either. Shaun T is no joke, no matter what he's making you do!

    I was given some old VHS (that should tell you enough right there) exercise videos not long ago. One is a Tony Little that is so bad I wanted to shut it off, but I couldn't because I was laughing so hard...he was trying to do a Wayne's World type...SO BAD! lol

    i had the breathing video, and you're right, you lose more weight laughing and getting light headed than actually working out.....lol
