Baby boomers: Margaret Richards is back

[nancy324]

I saw the news on Videofitness. Margaret Richards has filmed a NEW workout for QVC. I think it's been at least 10 years since she's put out any new material. It hasn't even aired yet on QVC, but I bought it. She's over 60 years old now, and is all about "fatiguing muscles instead of joints". It's been many years since I've worked out with her, and I don't know if the old magic will still be there. I'll post my "review" if anyone is interested.

OMG! I used to do her workouts years ago -- The Body Electric -- they aired on PBS. That's who you're talking about, right? I wondered what happened to her! Yes, please post your review!

Yup, that's the one, Michele. If you recall, the show used music by the original artists, like Chicago. I wonder how much of the appeal was the (IMO) great music. I guess I'll find out when I do the new workout, since no one uses original artist music anymore. I'll let you know.

Nance, I think she got away with that because her show was on PBS. Do her videos have the the same music as her show?

 

[nancy324]

No, from what I hear, not even the videos of the old show (which you can still buy on the Body Electric website), have the music from the old show. They've been repackaged without it, or with some other music. Not sure which.
