Funny article about background exercisers
This article had me laughing so hard! Thanks to Rachel Handler for writing this!
https://www.vulture.com/2021/04/an-o...out-video.html I've never done this set as Jillian is not a preferred instructor of mine, but the writer is spot on about Jillian, "Jillian’s best quality is her randomly inspired, randomly directed rage." Ha! Enjoy!

This is so, so funny. I still do a bunch of different JM videos, and I think she relishes having what she thinks of as funny/cruel interactions with everyone. In the Lift & Shred video, the dude didn't set the right weights up or something so she tortures him throughout by making him lift heavier. I'm sure it's all scripted and planned, and it does get old after umpteen repetitions of the video, but sometimes it all still makes me chuckle.

What a great article! I remember this series very well. I actually like Jillian's workouts. I also did Body Shred.
I think Kenta shows up on Mike Donavanik's streaming channel. I did not keep that subscription for long--it's a little tough for me. It is funny how you can see instructors show up in various workouts.

I add in Jessica's walks for cardio, so this morning my journal was about Debbie and Beth. I won't copy it here because it's long and bits of it were kinda' mean (but I pulled back - I just have a sarcastic sense of humor!). Debbie is the "power behind the throne", married to a real estate mogul (bc I imagine all the "sets" are in her house so it must be huge! but she's too relaxed to be the mogul herself). Beth's kids are in college and she doesn't know where to direct her excess energy anymore. It was fun to write.
