The Firm: Aerobic Body Shaping

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.

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.

Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower

I thought, by the title (Bodyweight Basics Lower), this might be more my speed. I don't have a problem with Linda's Beginner Interval workouts right now, but her Endurance 90 Lower killed me.
