It may be better physically, but doing something that's just outside of your reach is incredibly good for your brain and neuroplasticity. This is always how I console myself when I dance

This morning I did Mindy Mylrea's Action Packed, the step portion. Wow, was that fun!!! Great 70's and 80's music like Village People and Madonna, the combos were fast and furious but so much fun! Mindy was in rare form and asked if our nipples were straight. She commented that it was a good day if her nipples were not crooked. I remember this was the first workout I ever did of hers and I was a little taken aback by that comment. I really didn't know what to make of her. Sharon Twombly was a background exerciser and she and the other backgrounder were smiling at many of Mindy's comments throughout the workout.

you know, i have this workout but it's a virgin in my collection. your description is exciting!

me: did The Firm Fat Blaster. i had forgotten that this had a bit of tall box with Nancy (Nancy Tucker).

loved the chica que pasa. the foot movements tripped me up a few times but i could recover literally on the next step.

Basic Training with Ada Simple, but fun workout. I haven't done this one in 2+ years. I need to do it more often

Yeah, I like this one too. I recently acquired it as I never had it before! Especially since it's so old.

This one was in my never-tried pile for forever. I might have done a section, but I can’t remember for sure. Anyway, the reviews are correct. The music is absolutely awful. The workout is tough, but there was something about the sequence that I found odd. I feel great, so that’s something. I don’t have any of her other stuff so I don’t know if other offerings were good. So strange. I can’t say I loved it, but I do feel wonderful. I think it was the music, to be honest, that was grating.

I've been doing a few oldies here and there this month.

Charlene Prickett's Get The Fat Off (from 1996, half low impact/half step)
Both workouts were easier than I remember them being, but I enjoyed them! I like watching the fog bank gradually lift away during the step workout.

Charlene Prickett's More Muscle Less Fat (from 1997, half low impact/half strength)
Another enjoyable Charlene. I always laugh when Renee provides spoiler alerts ahead of more intense moves, or complains when it's time for them. Afterwards though Mom asked. "How in the world can you tolerate her chatter?"

Charlene Prickett's Serious Curves (from 1993, upper only)
I started with the warm-up from Cathe's Slow & Heavy Chest & Back, then popped in Serious Curves cued to the upper body work. (Don't want to burn out on Cathe before STS 2.0 comes out!) Not a bad upper body workout for a short amount of time, although I will sub bent over rows for the shrugs.

Madeleine Lewis California Calorie Burner (1990)
I recently picked this one up from eBay, as I've been curious about it for a while. Unfortunately, it was not up to my high expectations (Madeleine has done choreography for many of Kathy Smith's workouts, and I was expecting better). On one hand, her cueing, instruction, and personality were good, and I appreciated that the choreography was designed for small spaces (with some of the moves reminding me of Kathy's workouts). On the other hand, the latter is also a drawback as most of the moves seem to be repeated from section to section with little variation. And that big couch behind her probably also contributed to that. Plus, after the rhythmic warm-up (which I felt wasn't enough), she goes down to the floor for static stretches which IMHO is a no-no nowadays. I do like that she did the strength work before the cardio, which made the tape ahead of its time.

The chatter is my favorite part of Charlene Prickett workouts! I feel like I got to know the crew over the years of doing all her workouts and I feel like they are my friends.

I have done Hamelin D'Abell's CardioTone G a few times recently. For some reason, it cheers me up. I like the music and his enigmatic smile.

(I admit that I don't use weights and don't always do the whole thing.)
