I started out wanting to write a blog post about great workouts and got totally distracted by these workout video gems…….enjoy!
Face Workout
This is Greer Childers doing a very odd face workout. She was another 80′s wonder. Just wow.
Jazzercise WTF
Jazzercise was hot in 1982. This is Judi Sheppard and friends putting the last nail in the coffin for this 80s workout trend…..”Boogie to the Music.”
Poodle Workout
The Poodle workout…those dog heads are real! This video was made by Nagi Noda for the 2004 Athens Olympics. It’s really weird and sort of scary. And by “sort of” I mean someone put this person in an institution.
Whoop Ass Workout
Bas Rutten…..OMG, this guy is crazy! If you follow his advise, you’re sure to end up in prison. Seriously though, this guy does have legit workouts and has quite the following. He’s into martial arts, kickboxing and a undefeated UFC heavyweight champion. I even heard that he Whupped Batman’s Ass.
Umm….
Alex Astilean previews the world’s first manually operated, outdoor treadmill. Doesn’t this kind of defeat the purpose of running outside?
Chair Dancing with Paper Plates Workout
Chair Dancing Around the World with Jodi Stolove. The paper plates….great resistance for the upper body.
Hawaii Chair
Take the “work out of your workout” with Hawaii Chair. Yeah right….like it’s possible to type and pick up the phone while using this thing. This seems like the kind of chair that would lead to an HR problem…
Enjoy this post?
We’d appreciate your Digg! :)

These are so funny. I do think that Mr. Rutten is mistaken… I’m pretty sure NOBODY underestimates the kick to the groin. And, if you haven’t seen it yet, you should check out the Hawaii chair on Ellen

No kidding. I almost used the Ellen clip ;) Happy you enjoyed it, I guess I’ll have to follow this up with a serious list of workouts now.

You may laugh at the first one.. from Greer Childers.. BUT.. Body Flex works.. I have done it for years and not only do you feel really good after the whole workout.. you take off inches! I can’t speak for the other videos..

But really…..where did you find the poodles? ;}

If you’re going to have the hawaii chair, one of my personal favorites of course, then you must include the ijoyride.
