Does Anyone Remember.....?

[Bernard]

The original Jane Fonda aerobic videos from the 1980s ?
I have an argument going on in my brain at the moment, and that is a part of me is convinced they never wore sneakers (trainers) throughout the workouts ? I am certain I used to do workouts without shoes on ! Is it any wonder my right knee plays up, 15 years on ?
Can anyone confirm this for me ? Did Jane and her gang wear sneakers to do aerobics ?

Yours wonderingly

I can't say for sure, but I'm almost sure the first ones were done barefoot (with leg warmers of course). But I do know that when I started Jazzercise in 1981 we did it barefoot! On a concrete floor covered by thin industrial carpeting. And I thought it was weird when they did start to get a clue and wear shoes - it took a little while to catch on. I can't believe it when I think about it now.

By the way Anna, I wanted to thank you for the tip about the Lancome Glossimer Spark - the color is perfect and I love it!

Hi Lisa,

I am glad that it is not just me, Gosh, I can't imagine doing any impact exercise without my sneakers/trainers now !

Yea, I am so glad you like the Glossimer Spark, it is gorgeous isn't it ? I bought mine from New York, don't know what I am going to do when I run out though, I am pretty certain it is a US shade only, I have not seen it in the UK :'(

It is available on the Sephora website (www.sephora.com). I had trouble finding it until I put my glasses on and realized it was Chanel and not Lancome!

One thing is for certain, if they did wear shoes, they weren't the cushioned trainers we enjoy today. Shoe technology is relatively new. I used to have it. I rememer it's was very dancy.

I do remember!!!!

Not only did Jane not wear shoes but form pointers were never, ever discussed when doing floor work. I seriously injurred myself doing some of her stuff--couldn't walk for a month. REALLY!

RE: I do remember!!!!

The only thing I can say for Jane is that she led me to Kathy Smith who led me to the Firm who led me to Cathe. Hallelujah! It took a while but hey, I'm glad I started with Jane, (and I did Jazzercise, too) otherwise I never would've found Cathe. I look back at those work outs though and have to laugh. Can you even imagine doing a Jane Fonda video now? I'm sure I wouldn't sweat a drop. How far we've come....
Anna, how do you think of these things anyway?
