I think I just found my Halloween costume for this year! Y’all really must watch it in glorious 1080p, to really appreciate the fulsomeness of the camel toe. ---

@1:17 “OK, now we’re going to step up the pace a little bit with the prancercise trot. It’s really hot.” _cue porno music_ I need an adult. ---

> [@nashiitashii](#): > > So this morning, I discovered the oddness that is the [Prancercise fitness regimen](http://prancercise.com/). From her website: > [@](#): > > [SIZE=2]Prancercise® is defined as: A springy, rhythmic way of moving forward,similar to a horse’s gait and ideally induced by elation. [/SIZE] I’m reminded of that episode of _Friends_, where Monica invites Phoebe to go running in the park with her for exercise. They show up, and Phoebe goes off dorky sprinting, embarrassing Monica to death. Phoebe then explained that she was running like she was a kid, all free and excited and having fun, not caring about form. “Induced by elation”. > [@](#): > > I can’t be the only person who has to question why she’s wearing attire more fit to dining at the country club on top and spandex leggings on bottom. It’s a little, uh, disconcerting; between the odd outfit combination, her obnoxious voice and the quasi-pornoesque background music, I’m very confused. But you see, there’s no reason one has to be all dowdy and dirty to excercise. Why not exercise while styled and primped for a public outing? Sure, actually running might get you sweaty or something, but we avoid all that muss and just prancercise. ---

> [@panache45](#): > > And god only knows what else she does with her horse. Clearly her mom was close to horses.:eek: Admittedly, I’m no Brad Pitt, but that woman fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. This woman has a face for radio, I tells ya. Freight train, dirt road, etc… Couple this with her True Belief that prancing about the park like a hydrocephalic 8yo on crack, while rocking a world-class cameltoe is a fitness regimen just confirms my belief that the end is near. Very near. ---

I have a large front window and live just up the block from a park. Is it wrong that I’m fervently hoping Prancercise catches on in my community? I could cancel the cable! ---

> [@lieu](#): > > Yes, thanks to Dromedary Vaginacise. My new favorite term; this is awesome!!! 3:30 “now we’re gonna take our ankle weights & put them on our wrists.” Ummm, doesn’t that make them wrist weights then? Kudos to the absolute professional who shot this video. 3 seconds in to it, I would have stopped because I was doubled over laughing too hard to breathe. ---

It was her swoopy arm motions that disturbed me the most. I worried she was going to slap her own ass, shriek “yee-haw” and gallop off into the dust. ---

It was exercise for my eyes. I was staring at those pants, and then the arms, and then the movement of the legs. By the end they were spinning in their sockets. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/prancercise-a-new-ridiculous-thing-i-had-to-share-with-you/659761.md?page=1)
