Shaking his head back and forth
in utter disbelief, he said,
“I’ve been using these exercise videos
for more than a week
and I’ve actually gained weight.
I just can’t figure it out.”
To which his wife eagerly replied,
“Maybe if you actually DID the exercises
instead of just watching, you might see some results.”

The bubblegum pink and heinous bodysuit-ness would be enough for me to lose weight (the weight of my lunch) in a big damn hurry.

So funny! That video sure brings back some memories!

Uh...MM?
Are you sure that you want to post this?
Too late now!
Loved your 55
Thanhks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
I have never 'worked out'...with a video, or not.
But I have worked!
Nice 160, Sir.
(That "Toss me a vine." in your comment box just cracked me up!)
This is not only a well-done 55, but it shames me because I ordered Jane Fonda's new exercise video (for the, um, older set). So far it has looked just great on my living room shelf! Maybe reading your poem will give me incentive when I wake up in the morning to work out with that DVD. Thanks.
Oh - I thought you just had to keep them on your bookshelf. :)
Cool idea.
he was not dumb! Just dumb struck! :D
Hey this sure rings true - I remember that vid and how popular it was. Cool memory! W.C.C.
LOL. I've got the Cher workout video. I'm afraid to play it when the kids are home.
Noooo... workout videos never replace the well-muscled personal trainer at the gym. Maybe your wife should find you a pretty, female trainer? At least you'd be shamed into following along instead of staring with your mouth open.
Very nice... yes, I remembered those videos from my mom's collection...Happy day ~
I'm with Titanium--the pink stretchy thingie and bony hips plus the so yoo-glee hair puts me right off my feed. Great 55, MM, and on your stupid criminal--another point for Okieland! We can't keep up with Florida, but we try.
Clever one, Monkey Man! Sounds like this guy is bit too "Easy Going."
My Dad loved that video. He said it exercised his eyes.
Same thing happened to me once or three or five times.. smile...
PINK!!!!!!!
I am on a crash diet actually- lolss
Hugs xo
I think he had the right idea! LOL
Oh that silly go for the burn stuff...should've burned the tape. ;0
Have a good weekend!
Thankfully I never exposed myself to fodder like that. Painful stuff.
shudder
I did want to share that a got a special piece of mail today. Thank you Monkey! Very cool. :)
Unfortunately, I've been guilty of purchasing the latest fad exercise video only to leave it collecting dust beneath the DVD player. I always go back to a simple running and strength training regimen. Besides, the last video I tried to do had the kids in stitches, laughing at my foibles!
love the twists and plot.
what an astonishing 55.
beautiful and enjoyable.
I love your sense of humor.
