VF Hall of Shame: Vote here!

(SEE MY POST AT THE END OF THE THREAD FOR THE FINAL LIST)
I emailed Wendy, asking if this was OK, and got her approval. I'd like to have a thread containing videos for the VF Hall of Shame--videos we would NOT recommend to anyone.

To keep this from getting nasty, please do "NOT nominate videos [you] hated personally, but which do have redeeming qualities for people with different interests/preferences/abilities. We want this list to be strictly 'bottom of the barrel' stuff like the two you mentioned--videos that NO ONE should buy under any circumstances except, perhaps, for a few laughs at VF get-togethers." (direct quote from WWWendy)

The two I mentioned were the Zsa Zsa video (nobody actually exercises, and who dresses like that for ANYTHING, let alone working out?) and the 10 Best DVD available apparently everywhere, that doesn't really contain any workouts.

I think another might be the Alan Harris workout available now at Ross, is it Total Circuit Training? I've never seen it, but haven't heard anything good about it ever.

I second the vote for the Stephanie Steel workout. She also had the nerve to come out with another one (can't think of the name of it) that was just as bad.

Is the Stephanie Steele one called knockout kickboxing?

I saw a Stephanie Steele one about kickboxing that was pretty bad. If that's what people are referring to, then I third the vote!

To Abby- I think the Taebo Tai Boxing is pretty bad too! But myabe not Hall of Shame material...
