Wondering
what Lauren Jones, star of last year's ill-fated reality
show "Anchorwoman," has been up to? Neither were
we.
But the
former bikini model and WWE Diva with the short stint as a
Tyler, Texas, TV anchor has resurfaced as a fitness
instructor in the "Baywatch - Beach Body Workout"
(Good Times Video, $14.98).
It's a
decent-enough workout - a heart monitor showed a burn of 450
calories during the 57-minute routine.
But little
attention is paid to proper form, and no modifications are
given for those with limited abilities or joint problems.
And the real
problem is just how dumbed-down and mildly offensive the
whole DVD is.
While the
workout has no affiliation with the hit show of the same
name, the bleach-blond instructor dons a low-cut red bathing
suit, and the first part of the routine involves lots of
running in place.
Then there
are Jones' crude comments: "My inspiration is little
lacy thongs"; "Just imagine how happy that
drowning victim's gonna be when we save their life ... and
we'll look cute doing so"; "This workout is really
sexy; you should get a partner to watch you."
If you don't
want to stomach the tackiness, there are plenty of better,
more serious workouts on the market that don't appear to be
aimed at fraternity guys.
