Due to my current drop in fitness level due to chemo, I have dug out a lot of old workout DVDs that I stored in boxes in my closet many years ago. I decided it was time to revisit my old Firm workouts that got me addicted to working out 15+ years ago. What actually started … Continue reading The Firm: Aerobic Body Shaping

Reebok Step: The Video
Reebok Step: The Video is the oldest workout I still own. I owned this workout on VHS and did it all the time it back in the 1990s--I loved it then.

Bob's workouts are very … Continue reading Beginner’s Weight Loss Transformation
