Backgrounders you can't stop staring at (though you want to!)

[alisoncooks]

Do you have any workouts where you just cannot stop watching one of the background exercisers?

Maybe it's their crazy outfit, odd hairstyle, or facial expressions...
Maybe they're an annoying ham, or amazingly ripped, or they have no coordination...

Who can you not stop watching (though you may wish you could!)?



I'll come back later and post mine.

Tracy in the original UR dvds. She's back in some of the URX too. She mugs for the camera and I wish I could stop looking at her irritating antics.

1. The girl in Bob's Strength workout that is moaning and groaning. She is funny because I know she's not working that hard.

2. Insanity, the girl I call Spit Girl. I turn my head when I know she's going to do it. It's been awhile since I did the workout so don't remember which workout she's in.

In Brazil Butt Lift, there's a girl who Just Isn't Very Good. Occasionally her form is poor but mostly it just seems like she's not up to the challenge - short ROM with the band, etc - and she's not the modifier. I think I keep looking because it annoys me that she's getting paid for this and I'm doing better, LOL. Of course she's very pretty and startlingly thin. She is the black girl in the back.

I am always watching the background exercisers in DVDs, much more than the instructors.

I do that in group fitness classes, too. I always follow someone in the group rather than the instructor. People in the group are often better athletes or more coordinated than instructors at my gym.

It's a necessity in workouts by Jillian Michaels, Jackie Warner, Supreme 90 and others where the instructor abruptly stops and walks around.

I also have to do it in Zumba classes, because they're packed and there's often a post or person between me and the instructor. Luckily there are usually several very skilled regulars (I think they're also Zumba instructors) near the front for me to watch.

Nicole from Leslie Sansone's workouts. O.M.G!!!!

There have been a few come to think of it from Leslie's workouts over the years that I cannot stand. I look away every time. There are a couple of girls in Turbo Jam as well.

There's a girl in Tracy Mallett's Quick Blast DVD's that apparently lost a lot of weight, but just looks totally awkward and uncoordinated while she's working out. Must be effective for her anyway, bless her heart. She stands to Tracy's right (as you're looking at the screen).

I agree about Tracey from the URX workouts. I love patrick's workout, but since she is on it, I don't do it as often. I even tell myself I'm not going to watch her, but it is hard not to. I will never buy another one with her in it.
