Healthy Tip of the Day: Go Old School

Jul 27th, 2010

Cindy Crawford has been an idol of mine for as long as I can remember. Except for her unfortunate foray into acting, the woman is perfect. She has beautiful kids,a beautiful husband and a lovely furniture collection at Rooms-To-Go. I am actually writing this post while sitting at a table from her California Cottage Collection. But it’s her first workout video that has had the longest lasting impact on me. I was in eighth grade when my mom brought this home and will never forget the memory of the two of us lugging our kitchen chairs into the family room and exercising with a supermodel for 45-minutes a day. That VHS tape traveled with me to college, to two boyfriends’ houses, and several nanny jobs until it finally and sadly, unravelled. I bought the dvd version a couple years ago and still do one of the three workouts (set to the wonderful musical stylings of Seal), at least once a week. Pull out one of your old exercise videos this week and give it a whirl. Just because it’s old, it doesn’t mean it still won’t kick you butt.
