Jesus bloody Christ! I used to do this workout every frakking day when it aired on CityTV. Even though I was just in my late teens, I am astonished I didn't die. This is one tough workout, but at the time I could do every move. Not a chance I can do it now.
@AdamWatchesStuff Not sure where you can get it, but 20 Minute Workout did release an album back in the day, so try Amazon ca. It might be on sale there.
On the episodes led by Bess, they were clearly for the advanced people already in top shape. Bringing this back as a new internet show, they could show the daily episodes at three levels: beginners, intermediate, and advanced. Hmmm. I think I might be on to something (. . . runs off to check my investment resources)
I bet someone could be successful bringing this back, making it for the internet with daily shows. With the right sponsors and getting a good talented cast, I think it could work. As bad as shape the majority of the population is in, this is desperately needed. 20MW did have real merit and was effective.
it would be nice to see these in HD ... Orion really did well to promote this show it was definitely the reason that the industry exploded and so many copycats were started ... they were just perfect for the moment... you can't really look back at it in the same way you just have to remember what it was.... nothing else even came close..
I remember as a horny teen age during the 80's...Getting caught watching this be my Dad at 6:00 in the morning...He was also too distracted to say anything to me.
OMG! This is great!!! I have all of the 20 min. videos on tape but I am afraid to use them since they are so old! The music and enthusiasm (mostly of Bess) really made me actually enjoy working out! I wish they brought this back!!!!! Thank you for posting this!!
oh my Goodness! i used to do this before school every morning. Thank you for posted..I it is now more than 20 yrs ago and i tried this workout once again after 20 yrs and i am sweating!!!! Love you Bess! She was the best! This workout was what gave the now what they call sexy pilates body.
Thank you for posting this! This must've been one of the very first episodes and it was very interesting to see. They definitely made tons of important improvements for later episodes!
Ah ha! That explains it then! I can't imagine how you got a hold of it--very cool! By the way, the last name is "Motta." Thank goodness they fitted the instructor with a mic in later episodes. Poor thing is positively hoarse by the cool down! LOL!
True, Bess's voice changed a lot towards the final episodes...she couldn't 'yell', it's was more of a squeek really. Btw. 'Motta' is her artist name, her real surname is Motter! She also has a fanpage on Facebook where she regulary post pictures etc. (look up: Bess Motta)
I thought I was a pretty big Bess Motta (Motter) fan but I guess I stand corrected! I have seen her Facebook page via her home page. Hard to believe it's been that long since I was a little kid doing the 20 minute workout routine and dreaming of a full head of corkscrew curls! I SO wanted to be Bess! LOL!
Yoga pants are hot these days but nothing beats 80's aerobic wear!

These women knew they were selling sex - yet as a child of the 80s, I used to do it all the time with my cousin.... it IS a good workout.

As a teenage boy when these shows aired I was in heaven.
Now, as a 40 something man, I have a whole new respect for these ladies.
I tried to do one of these workouts the other day, thinking I was fit.
I got my backside handed to me and it was from Nicole!
I have a whole new respect for these women. Tough and strong for sure!
