‘TOUGHEST WORKOUT ON EARTH’

It’s amazing to see how far Reebok (and the idea of fitness) has come. The athletic apparel superpower released this workout video in the ’90s. About 40 seconds in, the narrator says that “Step Reebok” is the “toughest workout on Earth.” Russ, Frank and I will be using this footage to rethink how we program. Maybe instead of heavy thrusters Saturday, we should be stepping harder and faster, and to a beat that sounds kind of Amazon-ish. Bring your tights!
