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

I totally agree!

Yes!!! I hardly do those walks because of it. (Well, overall it's not my favorite DVD set of Leslie's, but that's another story..)

For some reason I seem to also have a 'problem' with background exercisers who have big breast implants. I'm sorry, I know, it's their business of course how big they chose them to be, but when they look so extremely unnatural (to me) I can't help but always look at them over and over while shaking my head and thinking: "Why?" ! (In Ellen Barrett's Crunch series are a few of those candidates as well as in her Prevention Belly Blast walks..)

Same reaction here.

I was always afraid she was going to hurt herself herking and jerking around like that.

I believe it is in The Firm's Ultimate Fat Burning Workout that Su Mi is the modifier and she just drives me crazy! When Alison tells her good job, I was like are you kidding? Very distracting. And they had to make her the modifier so she stands out even more.....ok, I'm done.

The ones wearing hats in Crunch Dvds.

The lead girl doing demos in the older Mari Winsor DVDS. She makes faces when Mari touches her. Terribly unattractive, and I can't believe they didn't edit them out.

So much of the annoying background stuff (the overacting woman in Bob Harper's workout, the bored-to-tears black woman in the warm-up to S90, the focus on annoying--to me--Greg in Cathe's STS workouts) could have been avoided with different editing. I have to scratch my head wondering why someone would choose to use some of this footage.

Oh my, how awkward after what I posted a few pages back about having breasts that look just like the well endowed background exerciser in Ellen's Prevention videos. Of course, my breasts are real and hers may be as well. Unfortunately, when you are large breasted people tend to make assumptions. I can't change that, so I just accept it. If only I could charge a dollar every time someone implied my boobs were fake or asked me outright. At that rate, I could buy everything I wanted from Collage. LOL

I can barely stand to look at Toni in Amy Bento's step workouts. She is so very ungraceful and clumsy!
