Exercise TV On Demand is one of my favorite ways to augment the under-used gym membership, dust collecting DVDs and Wii Fit. Jillian Michaels and the woman from Buns of Steel bring free workouts into your home, with a few commercials and some bottom-of-the-screen ads for energy drinks (but seriously? Energy drinks are a scam).
For those unfamiliar: you go to On Demand, then choose exercise TV, then scroll through the list of workouts that supposedly change each month (hint: half of them "expire" at the end of the month and then magically reappear the next month). There are far too many "Girls Next Door" workouts, and some that seem to involve Carmen Electra and a stripper pole. So...those are for the men, presumably.
Anyway, this is all delightful.
Here's what's not delightful: the woman who leads the pilates workouts always has incredibly dirty feet. Like, seriously? It's all taped. None of the camera folks or directors thought to say "hey, maybe your feet should be clean". It's not even HD! It's gross! I know, I know, you're busily teaching pilates in a gym all day. So your feet get a little dirty. But you're about to be taped so that millions of women can attempt to do pilates along with you. C'mon! Wash your damn feet!

ReplyDeleteHaha, love your comment about the dirty feet! so funny. I've been doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred from exercisetv on demand and I love it. It's fun and makes you sweat...plus you get to listen to Jillian's hilarious commentary!!
