Looking for an excuse not to exercise? Let us present this train wreck, in which a group of anthropomorphic poodles pump iron with a pink-leotarded instructor sporting lumpen Popeye arms. (Body modification? Skin suit? Why? Why???)But even stranger than poodle-lady's instructions to "pump your arms like you're in the mud" is that the video was created by the late Japanese performance artist Nagi Noda for the 2004 Athens Olympics. Yeah, we don't know either! So we'll just leave you with this creepy video treat. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Tell us -- aside from human/dog creatures and people with deformed extremities -- what discourages you most from getting fit.

That definitely isn't the most creepy workout video. Look up EI EI yoga and you'll never be the same person again.

amazing how she trained those poodles to work out... and i could have sworn i saw some of them actually opening and closing their mouths- and one of them looked like he/she was actually panting... i know they were people in dog costumes, but i could have sworn the poodles' heads were real... spooky. imagine some one on lsd watching this thing...

This video is pretty old. I've seen it before. Basically, ppl are in dog costumes, but the heads are real dog heads inserted by a computer. It was done quite well actually. Still... pretty freakin weird.

The "take anything you want, please don't kill me" (learn english while you workout) workout vid was possibly a little more funny, but this one sure is creepy. Gotta love Japan!
