Better to be punching into space than in your face




I cannot stop watching. She is my new hero. I'm done with walking, people. It's Prancercising for me all the way.

Now then, where I can get that outfit?

She scares me.

More than that, though, would you Prancercize in your own neighborhood?

If so, I want video.

Also, how do men look Prancercizing? No camel toe, but otherwise, I'm curious.

There's a bike path by my house, and there is a woman who actually prancercises there regularly. But she does it wearing "bounce shoes"! (If you google bounce shoes you will see these strange contraptions that she straps to her feet.)

She's been doing it for years, but I haven't noticed her getting any thinner or any more toned.

Amazingly, I recently learned that she teaches classes in this and also sells the shoes. Supposedly, she has quite a following.

I love L.A.!

Holy shit DDP!

I love 'em, but I'm afraid I'd bust something.

And no matter what anyone says about Prancer up there, she is really fit.

Oh yes, Erin....those are the shoes.

I really have no idea how she doesn't break an ankle in those things. And she seriously jumps/prances/dances around.

But her workout must be followed by a giant plate of fettuccine and a bowl of Hungarian Lecho, because seriously, my gal could sit on and crush your Prancercise gal! Ha!

Erin, prancercising is going to make taking photos for your phonecam roundups a bit more challenging.

Frankly, John, the cam is the least of my worries. How am I going to get the Goat to follow me around with a Boom Box on his shoulder playing that music?

I'm guessing you also googled this woman. She made this video in 1989 and she's just now come out with a book. Because this video has gone viral, she's now having her 15 minutes of fame...and trying to cash in on it. She's 61 years old and still looks amazingly the same. Her outfit hasn't even changed much, and she's still wearing the same necklace.

Prance on!

Is this the same sort of prancing one does in Olympic dressage completion?

I mean, where's the horse? If she doesn't have to pay to train a horse, feed it, house it and transport it, isn't she mocking the Olympic ideal?

"completion"

Aaargh....I HATE typos: 'competition,' not
'completion'...

@ Erin-

Wasn't 'Prancersise' one of the reindeer games poor Rudolph was excluded from?

Erin, I'm fairly certain you can come up with some convincing incentives.
