Did anyone use to do the 20 minute workout with Bess?

[JMFRANE]

When I was in my early twenties-about twenty years ago, I use to do that workout all the time. I still have some of the workouts on tape and every so often pull it out. It is kind of interesting. Not a real good work out though unless you do it like 4 times. Anyone else do this workout?

That is funny! I was thinking about that the other day. I think that is the first experience I had with "working out". My sister got me started doing that. Then Gilad, "Bodies in Motion". Then I hit the "big time" with Jane Fonda and Kathy Smith videos. Well, actually, I think I had a Kathy Smith audio cassette before I got "Body BAsics" video! Oh, those were the days!! My, how times have changed....

What's really funny is that I and a male co-worker were talking about the 20-Minute workout a few days ago.

He used to watch it for the hot chicks in the high-top groovy leotards (all those butt shots). A lot of men used to watch it for that reason!

There was one really sexy girl -- at least in my co-workers eyes. She had long dark curly hair and used to gaze seductively at the camera and pucker her lips provocatively, all in the pretence of demonstrating how to breathe properly.

Remember how they used to workout on the revolving round stage? I would have gotten dizzy and fallen off at some point!

That series was soooo funny!

HI Joanne,
I remember that one. I used to do a lot of the television workouts. Even way back when I was a teenager and it was Jack Lalanne. Remember Joannie Greggin's? And thinking of audio tapes I had a Kathy Smith Record and some other one before my Jane Fonda. We have come a long way since then.

That is too funny! I am 25 now but I can remember my mom doing it when I was younger...she had it taped from TV and I used to do it on my own to be like her.

In fact, I think I still have it somewhere. I remember taking it to college to do in my dorm room and laughing at the 80s commercials that were on the tape!

I never did know if her name was Bess or Beth...thanks for clearing that up!

Take care!

I can remember doing it off of the tv early in the morning thinking I was going to die. I also moved on to Joannie Greggins and Jane Fonda too! How funny - thanks for the brining it up.

My mom and aunt watched that show, and yes, they still have some episodes on tape. Too funny. If you want to take a trip down memory lane, check out.....

It is so funny that you should mention 20 minute work out I just found a web site for the old show The 20 minute workout page. I loved that show. Now that I am all grown up I am a big Cathe fan.. Now thats a work out!

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for that website. Brought back a lot of memories! Makes me want to pull that tape out.

I watched Jack LaLanne, too. That's all there was, isn't that pathetic? Then the word "aerobics" came out with Dr. Cooper, which really started something.

I know you can't go back, but I would like to re-live my high school years being able to participate in an actual sports program for girls, and going to college on some kind of athletic scholarship. You younger gals have no idea how much better you have it.

That being said, I'm not letting age get in my way, and I'm looking forward to the new ADVANCED Cathe workouts at age 53! I'm ready for whatever you throw at us, Miz Cathe!

Just Do It!

RE: Neat site

Speaking of 20 minute cardio exercises, Im looking for one in the 21st century. I only have a little pooch to lose (and would actually like to gain mass in upper and lower body, especially legs) So im looking for a light cardio that can enable me to achieve a flatter stomach without sacrificing mass anywhere else.............Any ideas? Preferably without a step. I dont like stepping too much.

Thankx in Advance,
GN
