The Couch Potato Workout..."Enough with the guilt!"

Garrie A. · 02-04-23, 03:11 PM

This is a workout video parody released sometime in the late 80s. I watched it on a whim last night, and it had me laughing so hard at times!

It's perfect for VF get-together viewing parties alongside Body Flex (PAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!), the infamous Traci Lords rapping workout, Zsa Zsa Gabor's "give back ze ring but keep ze stone for ze hotties behind her" workout, and Maria Conchita Alonso's high heels workout (that I'm sure Donna Richardson and Gloria Quinlan are embarrassed to have both choreographed and performed as backup on).

"Enough with the guilt!!!"

Actually, because I have flat feet, I sometimes put moderate heels on when a workout calls for standing on your toes. My feet are weak in the middle and nothing I've tried has made them stronger, so I put on shoes in order to get the elevation of the calf muscle that is desired.

Oh, my gosh! When I saw Larry 'Bud' Melman in the credits, I thought it was a joke, someone being clever. THEN there he was!!!! leading the couch potato workout!

This comment by the Dr. was pretty funny

P.S. shouldn't the advanced workout been a good ol'fashioned nap?
