Do you remember the infomercials for this workout video? This makes me giggle so much. If someone is out there who has tried this, you HAVE to own up to it and tell us all how well/not well it worked, and how hilarious you looked doing it.
Greer Childers, the big haired lion lady in the video, is like 70 or something insane. So whatever she’s doing clearly works for her. But I would have the biggest asthma attack if I tried this.
When she takes her deep breath in, her nostrils actually collapse for a few seconds. She explains her techniques in one of the related videos. The first move where she sticks her tongue out is called the “lion.” Her second move is called the “ugly face.” Seriously.
But how does this DO anything? That’s what I can’t figure out.
I certainly got a workout from watching this. My abs are aching from laughter.
Maybe that´s the goal?
I’d call the faces: cocaine use and pass out face! I think they are supposed to help with keeping the face and neck fit. But silly, silly, all the celebrities know that botox will fix that!
OK, I think I’ve figured this out. She smoked a LOT of weed before she shot this, and then figured out that it was her last doob. She then attempted to maintain her high by expelling any pent up happy smoke from her lungs and catching it in her mouth.
Is that Barabra Eden?
you dork…i posted this a year ago.
I thought you had, but couldn’t find it under the lady’s name, so then I thought maybe I had dreamt that you’d already posted it, and then thought that even if you HAD posted it, since we have more than 4 readers now, it might be worth putting up again.
Jerk.
Ok, I’ll fess up. I did this a few years ago (maybe more now - can’t remember). Anyhoo I waited until my husband and child were in bed so I wouldn’t be mocked, and believe me I had to! It works (supposedly) because of the breathing, not the faces. You use your diaphragm and some sort of isometric stuff. It never did anything to me but some co-workers said it helped. I stopped after a few weeks because I couldn’t stand myself!
A few years back in massage school we were required to do a short report on video’s in the schools library. This was one me and my partner decided to choose. We had to sit through the whole thing, it was hilarious. We tried to do what she did, but couldn’t keep a straight face, not that good old Greer could either. ‘wink wink’
I hear she has a new weightloss video out now, but I don’t know how funny that one is.
