Punk Rock Aerobics: 75 Killer Moves, 50 Punk Classics, And 25 Reasons To Get Off Your Ass And Exercise Review


Punk Rock Aerobics is a "bizarre union violating the natural and godly order of things" by combining the nonconformist underdog with the spandex-clad squeaky clean. The concept is completely DIY--no gym or special equipment required. And of course, the authors have compiled a hundred-plus discography to make your workout rock out. The Boston-based authors obtained their instructor certifications and opened an aerobics studio in 2001, and now their bring attitude and moves to you in paperback format. They make their studio mercifully dark (like a good rock clubs) and welcome guests of all ages and interests.

In addition to all the punk rock posturing, this is a good workout book. The program includes warm-up and cool-down phases. Individual moves have photo illustrations (with punk rock fashion ideas galore), detailed instructions, and tips for optimal performance. Moves are rated by difficulty and include advanced techniques for further exploration.

Aerobic Poetry: Critter Connections Collection featuring the Alpha Beta Critters Review


What a read! I found myself on an emotional roller coaster as I laughed my way through Donkey Ho-tay, Mr. Oxy Moron and a French-fried thief, then found myself nodding with grim-faced apperception at Predators & Packs. It brought to mind Ogden Nash and Morris Bishop with a little Mad Magazine thrown in. Delightfully bizarre! Try it with a well-shaken martini and extra olives. I hope this author writes AP Part II; I'll be buying.
