Perfect Medium

amid the varied levels, sizes and styles of salsa class, i found a perfect medium: an intermediate level, moderately filled class, led by a pint-sized teacher with keen eyes and a lotta heart. jeni is tiny and serious in a way that reminds me of a russian ballet mistress. she's also gentle and articulate in a way that does not.

NetFlix Old-School Exercise Videos Now

Do you remember your first workout video?  Oddly enough for me it was Richard Simmons in my Middle school gym. This was Utah, the early '90s.... I'll admit that I still find it marvelous to work out in my grungiest sweats with nobody watching. It's a workout you can laugh at; a workout you can pause whenever you want. These days, most imortantly, it's a workout you can Netflix.... With a few clicks, old-school favorites like Crunch's Fat Burning Dance Party could be streaming on your computer. Three dance parties in a 45 minutes: Party Salsa, Party Funk, and Retro Dance Party. All that super dancing, and zero public humiliation.
