This 80's Aerobic Video Wins Everything!

[LeftInTX]

If you did not have cable in the 80's, this is what was on TV

The comments are hilarious!

It even inspired a parody, but you needed cable to see the parody!

[PoliticAverse]

1. It's embarrassing what we watched when there wasn't much on TV. n/t

[LeftInTX]

2. LOL!

I used to watch Star Search...It was one of the better shows on Over the Air TV...

Poor Christina lost on Star Search

[TexasBushwhacker]

33. Britney Spears lost on Star Search too

Here's one of her performances.

[LeftInTX]

35. Beyonce also lost, but she was with a group and they were up against another

I think Beyonce had a bit of Selena vibe going on when she was younger. She was a charismatic lead singer of a home spun group, like Selena was.

[TexasBushwhacker]

38. Justin Timberlake too

And he, Britney and Christina all went on to be on the New Mickey Mouse Club together.

Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell and JC Chasez we're on MMC also.

11. Considering what is on network TV (and cable) it's kind of hard to say it's better

(non-reality) reality shows: duck dynasty, the one about the tween models, cooking competitions, big brother, apprentice, etc
ancient alien astronauts pickers, law & order whatever theme,
5-hour long football games
It's good to live overseas -- I only have to suffer that crap when we visit relatives on vacation

[secondwind]

13. Lol

[multigraincracker]

15. I have a channel on my free cable service..

that is 24 hours a day Baywatch repeats.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

18. Baywatch was incredibly popular in foreign countries.

[hlthe2b]

21. I'd still rather watch cringe-worthy fitness videos over all the "reality" crap today

[LeftInTX]

25. 30 years from now, we'll be watching new crap and be laughing at the old crap!

At least I have Netflix now!

[Skittles]

4. I remember those days

someone decided women REALLY needed to wear thong outfits while exercising and it was insane how many women went along with it

[LeftInTX]

7. I'm noticing the men!

[Demovictory9]

32. i didn't wear the thong. wore the leg warmers and such though. did that type of aerobics

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. Yeah, I always got a fresh bikini wax

before going to work out - LOL

[FuzzyRabbit]

5. Anyone else remember watching

Australian rules football on ESPN when ESPN started out?

[rpannier]

12. After midnight it was darts

Though, for a while, n the 2000s ESPN was showing poker.
Don't know if they still do

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

19. Aussie football was pretty cool.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

6. This cracked me up cause it's so perfect.

[LeftInTX]

8. It's an improvement!

[eShirl]

9. the good ol' days of "let's blow out our knees!"

[ShazzieB]

10. No kidding!

That's all I could think about, watching them stomping around like they were putting out fires!

[left-of-center2012]

14. I did not have cable in the '80s

I did not watch that crap.
It wins nothing from me.

To say it wins 'Everything' is just ridiculous..

[LeftInTX]

23. It's a joke

[Elessar Zappa]

31. Most people understood that.

It certainly left me laughing

[IcyPeas]

16. I used to love doing aerobic classes.

They didn't look like the video though.

[spooky3]

17. Ditto. And they really did burn the calories but

Knee replacement is in my future!

[Midnight Writer]

20. I wish the money stealing TV preachers on cable would have gone out of fashion like this.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Nice of them to color code the dancers...

[cinematicdiversions]

24. Of Course who can forget the great film Aerobicide

Aerobicide

[LeftInTX]

26. At least at one time, I could possibly do the aerobics in Aerobicide!

What was it with leg warmers anyway?

[Piasladic]

27. It's like Soul Train with more white people

I remember being pressured to wear those awful high-cut undies. Never liked them - never will.

[LeftInTX]

29. I never owned them. I just wore jogging shorts to aerobics.

Nobody said anything....

Was I doing something wrong?

[Piasladic]

30. You did everything right

It was mostly my stepmother trying to make me more like a 'girl' that messed me up

[Skittles]

36. just means you were not easily manipulated

I absolutely hate how many women go along with utterly ridiculous fads.

[LeftInTX]

37. Naa...just too fat and had kids to take care of etc...LOL

I wore the same clothes to the gym as I wore around the house and shopping.

Too lazy to change.

[Skittles]

39. heh

I never went to a gym because I don't like to be around sweaty people but I did exercise to plenty of workout DVDs at home (still do). And I too wear regular shorts and t-shirts that are comfortable.

My favorite instructor back in the day was Gilad

[Marthe48]

28. I could sit and watch that all day

Key word: sit
