@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. :)

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").

@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.

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

@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.

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

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