"Blunder Woman!"

"Tenacity"

This video is all about Rodger. Former UCLA gymnast, 70's era, Rodger is the Energizer Bunny of gymnastics strength endurance. He just goes on...and on...and on. Pretty good stuff from a guy pushing 50. The music is the entrance music to a WWE professional wrestler known for his ruthless tenacity and aggression.

"Gymnastics Will Turn You Around"

Filmed back in February and March, I think, this is a fun little film of the Thursday beginning/advanced class, of the time. I miss the two kids who are kind of featured at the beginning and in the end credits. Emma and Sabrina had a lot of personality together. I especially love Emma's facial expressions, of which you only get a hint of here. Overall, I really enjoy working with this Thursday group.

I wouldn't exactly call myself a listener of country-western music; but there are some singers who seem to sing more than one song that I end up liking. I like the upbeat tempo and positive feel of this Kenny Rogers song ("Love Will Turn You Around").

If you notice that in so many of my videos, I have reel after reel of footage of kids doing sit ups....it's because that and stretching are the few opportunities I really have to film. I am, after all, supposed to be teaching. So I sneak it in wherever I can, filming the kids actually doing gymnastics. Usually I have clips of actual gymnastics when I wish to use the camera as a teaching tool and show the kids visually what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. I also sometimes enlist the aid of kids who show up early for the next class.

"Hurt"

"We Did it...Dan's Way"

One of my adult clients asked Dan what his theme song would be and without hesitation, Dan replied, "My way...Frank Sinatra." So there we have it. Since I used a version where he duets with Pavarotti, I scraped up all the footage I could gather of him and one of his Big Fun clients, Michelle, to duet in the video with him. Hey, it was either this, or "The Odd Couple" theme. It was a fun one to make.
