Why are aerobics videos so damn stupid? I suppose it's got a lame reputation, but just because it's got a lame reputation doesn't mean that it has to remain lame. ANd I know it's difficult to get the rights to certain cool songs, but still. At least try.

I should start by noting that I love step aerobics. It's a great low impact activity that you really don't grow out of. See, you can add some resistance by raising the step. You can even do the moves right on the floor.

This morning I worket out to a tape for the first time. Very first! I bought it at the thrift shop for a dollar. Nice, eh? But this tape is lame. Bad jokes, bad impersonations, but an excellent workout.

My favorite tape--and you are going to call me so lame--is Cher's step tape. It has songs I've actually heard (and not just Cher songs) and the banter isn't terribly annoying. AND it's easy to follow.

So really want to do a step tape with Prince music but no, the rights would be impossible or, at the least, impossibly expensive. So here we are. lame workouts.
