Platinum Sweat video

[Guest guest]

Believe it or not, when I called the phone number on the town web

site (1-800-682-1616) earlier this week, they *still* told me the Platinum

Sweat video is not available for sale yet. Then how come it's plastered all

over the Internet in various other stores?

As soon as the Christmas rush is over, I'll be ordering it from College

Video (below). I've had success ordering things from them before.

So, until I get my copy, here are 2 reviews of it. The first is the " press

release " review that I saw on 4 other e-stores' web sites, the second seems

to be from someone who actually watched the tape. College Video rates it as

a Beginner's level, something just right for these old joints even if I'm

*not* 55 yet.

Also, remember will be on QVC at midnight New Year's Eve, 9am & 6pm,

all times Eastern, New Years Day, showing his *new* BlastOff videos. The

first one, with Latin music, is already available through Avon but *not* yet

from his web site or QVC.

Simple, not-too-structured moves, great Big Band music and a dynamic,

fun-lovin' workout group (ages 55 to 82). After warming up with " Come Fly

with Me, " you'll stay motivated with foot-movin' vocal favorites like " I've

Got Rhythm, " " Pennies from Heaven " and " Come Rain or Shine " (performed by a

live, on-stage combo). The routines range from familiar dance steps like

tons and step touches, to basic moves like marches and small kicks.

Always supportive and encouraging, even seems swept up by the

uplifting soundtrack and his enthusiastic fellow exercisers. ©2001. (28
