Background exercisers you become fond of

Or when Rebecca's husband is in one of her workouts, and she teases him about getting ahead of the teacher when he does a modification before she shows it.

My unfavorites:
--I think her name was Asha (?) from Jessica's older fusion one and the walking one where they are outside at like a hotel or something. She ruins it!
--Also from Jessica, the lady with Debbie in a lot of the Walk Strongs, she's supposed to do the higher impact stuff but she's never on beat. She's probably a doll in person but for some reason I don't care for her.
--Michael in Leslie's older stuff. Ugh.
--The blonde in Ellen's streaming workouts who can't for the life of her follow along or stay on beat or even remotely get with the program. It seems like Ellen got her off the street to do these (March 2020 Dynamic Cardio for example).

I know I'm a minority, but I like Asha. I also like Beth in the Walk Strongs. But I agree, she doesn't seem to be able to do some of the advanced balance moves.

I like Beth in the Walk Ons I have. (Haven't tried out the Walk Strongs yet). But I have noticed her balance is kind of bad at times. But so is mine sometimes, so at least I'm not alone when Beth is there

True, Beth makes me feel better, lol.

Gosh, yes! How could I have forgotten about Lauren? She was great!

I had forgotten that one.

Can someone tell me the names of some of Leslie’s workouts that Michael is in? If it’s the Michael from her Walk 15 I think I’d like to get more walks with him in them. The clips from Five Boosted Miles show only Nick - unless Michael is only in a couple of the miles that aren’t shown in the clips.

And Brenda and Jai. The four of them are my favorite backgrounders.

I always like Cedie in the Cathe workouts and also Jessica Smith's mom, Debbie, in her workouts. I miss the really old time "walkers" that used to be in the Leslie Sansone workouts a long time ago (pre Nick) like Joann and Mary Jo. They were a little "older" and they seemed like "real people". In the more recent Leslie workouts she has younger bouncier people, and I didn't relate to them as much. I couldn't even always tell them all apart either. Leslie didn't seem to know them as well and didn't say much about them in the workouts.

I also really loved Theresa from Christi Taylor's workouts. She always seemed like she was having so much fun!

LOL sadly, I am not too fond of Theresa. She's so very hammy.

I love when professional instructors are guests in each other's workouts. Like Andre Houle in Kathy Smith's Beachbody workout. Project You, I think.
