Album of the Day: Miss Piggy's Aerobique Exercise Workout Album

Album: Miss Piggy’s Aerobique Exercise Workout Album Artist: Miss Piggy Year Released: 1982 How obtained: This was either a Christmas or birthday gift.  Among my personal role models: Dorothy Parker, Auntie Mame, Elvira and Miss Piggy. Summary: In olden times, before Blu-Ray, before DVD, even back before VHS and VCR tapes, there were still ways to market at home workouts.  For decades this was done via the vinyl album and generally included a booklet, pamphlet or poster of what exercise moves to perform.  The instructor would give clues during various songs on the album while the home listener tried to follow along. During the Jane Fonda work out craze, the Muppet factory released this album.  The original songs are ridiculous and seem like the slickly produced Disney machine that they later joined up with.  This album includes a cameo by Kermit during the “Lift the One You Love” routine.
