20 Minute Workout - Bess Motta cooldown

[elc1960]

Ron Harris produced a series of these for Showtime, I believe, during the period when 20 Minute Workout was popular. The girls from the show starred in them, and they were usually on right before Friday night softcore flicks. The women wore whits outfits that you could literally see right through once they started sweating (left nothing to the imagination). Lots of crotch, tit and ass shots. As close as you could get to seeing the girls nude (even though Bess was topless in "Terminator").

@elc1960 - No -- The Showtime snippets (5 minutes, 3 minutes, etc.) were first. It was women...and women and MEN (yep!) doing routines between Showtime movies. It got REAL popular fast -and then came the 20 minute workout shows and tapes. It was first ntended to introduce aerobic ways to exercise rather than one sitting on their duff and watching movies all day long. But it was sexy too - and instead of aerobic exercise some men grabbed their popcorn and just, well, exercised to this. :)

mmm look at those flat asses [=

I did this every morning, and I loved it. I was in thebest shape of my life. I'm 55 years old and have just started it again. I loved it then, sure I will love it now. I have been looking for it for years. Will keep you posted as to how it works at this age

[Mandi7882]

@pamsplace955 - works fine. They need to re-release these again. But the problem was/is, people were dropping dead because they couldn't keep up (hence the warnings). And many exercise  "experts" called these a crock. Did help that the producer went into pornography. I liked these exercises because as you did them, you FELT beautiful as well as toning. Bottom line, if it works for you - then by all means do them. If you're morbidly obese, don't do this, you'll die. Wait until more weight goes.

@Mandi7882 Women actually worked out to this? Were you aware of the show's appeal to men?

[Mandi7882]

@youtert - LOL!!! youtert..it was an 80's exercise craze for women. Bess & Deborah taught classes in Los Angeles. Jane Fonda even came out with a "middle-aged" workout similar that made tons of dough. The appeal to men was that we looked good and were physically fit during the Reagan Administration which signaled the end of Phys Ed as a mandatory program in schools. I guess...the men only looking at these tapes to drool over them - well they might've been very lonely people.

BTW, this would make great music to have sex to!

[Wildcock23]

Haha, Bess Motta was Sarah Connor's flatmate (flatback) in THE TERMINATOR (1984) =)

[spacegirl02]

YES! God, I loved these. Bess was the best. I love her voice. That music takes me BACK! Love it!!

[LivOnl]

Bess is my favorite. I found her on Facebook, say she's appearing at in Chicago with Linda Hamilton at Comic Con. It'll be great to see her if I can get away & get tickets.

[jordiekjo]

Bess was the only one who 'sang' lmao

[jpratt01]

Back in the early 80's I don't think there was one guy I knew in college that didn't want to get it on with Bess Motta.

[WatchVenusSpa]

Who owns the rights to the music?

On a side note Bess Motta sounds semi-orgazmic here!

[MsRobinDuke]

Bess was the best!!1

[noslen1968]

Wasn't she in the first Terminator movie? - real small part, was the room mate of the female lead.

[MamaTrina]

@noslen1968 Yep, you're right. she played Sarah Conner's roommate, Ginger. Got killed off right away. ={

[dbooth01]

I want to buy the full episodes. Can anyone assist? I've search the web without good luck.

[pamsplace955]

@dbooth01

[bjlopez1130]

I thought I had seen it all on you tube. Even the old 20 minute workout. OMG!!

[sillyfer1]

this show would give me bad thoughts every morning before school

[MattBL]

@sillyfer1 Huh? How come?

[sillyfer1]

because i was hitting puberty pretty hard. if you know what i mean.

[Zepp900]

This show was long before my time but I have to say it looks like the most entertaining way to get fit. I only ever knew of Bess Motta from her supporting role in The Terminator. Unfortunately, her character Ginger gets murdered by the title character. I wonder what Bess is upto nowadays.

[xenosexo]

this music doesn't belong to Shiva, I read it round there. Anyways, it rox!!

[ceecoursian]

I wish I knew who this band Shiva was who did the music. there is nothing out there on them that I can find.

[davethecaveman]

i still get a boner when she says flatback

[MultiUsa1]

Checkout Bess Mottas web site.....she still looks lucious !!!

[hfxmusicman]

Bess was the best instructor. I loved this show.

[klwewf]

And, she still does this kind of work.

[Attila709]

Man did my star wars sheets take a beating

[dfri729]

Now there's a show I like to see released on dvd. It would put Carmen Electra's workout dvds to shame!

[DelphinusMinor]

I would hook off from school to watch this. Haha... Three's Company came on right after it.

[MaleSupermodelsZone]

wich girls were teaching at the second season?

First season were Bess Motta, Anne Schumacher, Holly Butler, Nicole Nardini and Arlaine Wright...

I know this is a dumb question, but I just want to know.

PS: Sorry for my grammar!

[gaff2006]

I remember getting up early before school to watch this. Back in the day this was as good as porn for a 12 year old LOL.

[smjjohnson]

Laura & Holly had the best asses.

[SANDYHYLLGRL]

Do you have the part one to this segment?

[KARINAAAAA08]

Holly Butler, Laurie Briscoe and Nicole Nardini were much better than these girls from second season, I was really mad when they changed them. xoxo

[WellConditioned]

This was my favorite Shiva music for a cooldown - thanks so much for posting this!

[sdavis197]

actually...the music is not from Shiva

[avengerberetta]

how I'd love to eat Bess's ass all night!
