Despite having a perfectly good gym pass, I have, in recent months, become obsessed with home workout videos. My journey into the world of working out at home has been both enlightening and amusing. Anyone with any experience in this arena knows that home work out videos range from the terrible to the impossible, with low production qualities, akward hosts, and terrible sets in abundance.
Every once in a whilel though, a gem appears, something that is both do-able and tolerable, something that you actually want to groove to and do again and again. I’m not sure what the magic formula is, some of my favorites are very low budget and some feature ‘celebrity’ hosts.
It is with this in mind that I present to you this video (found via Womanist Musings) that I have watched twice but not worked out to yet, and am totally amused by. The thing is, despite this being a part of the Christian Kistch machine, the world of ‘profitable Christianity’ endorsed by many evanglicals and typically abhorred by myself, I really kind of love this. Something about the cheesy music, the terrible co-ordination of the dude on the right, and the sweat pouring down off of the host’s bald head has me totally psyched to ‘Dance like David Danced’ and ‘Stomp Satan Down’ and do the ‘Sanctified Slide’.
I clicked the link through to youtube and it appears that the host has an entire channel of Gospel Groove Aerobics to promote an upcoming workout video. I love this and will totally be digging into this over the course of the next week or so. I’ll keep you posted. You better believe I’ll be grooving my dorky ass off, ‘Reaching up to God’ and ‘Giving Him Praise’.
