Anjelica Scannura hosts Anjelica's 22 Minute WorkoutOneTV

Remember the 20 Minute Workout? In the 1980s, the aerobics show featured Spandex-clad women purring suggestive instructions and doing cheeky exercises while cameras leered nearby. Basically, for a certain segment of the population, it invoked sweat for decidedly non-aerobic reasons.

But, it was fun. Not only did you get a good workout, but the music was catchy and you knew the instructors by name. That combination is exactly whats missing from the fitness landscape today, says Anjelica Scannura, who hosts a throwback to 20 Minute Workout and other 80s exercise shows on OneTV.

There are so many boot camps and hardcore workout programs out there. Ive seen a lot of people change their bodies from it, but Ive also seen people busting gaskets because its so hard. And then I see apps that are practical but dont offer any character development with the host, she says.

Basically I longed for a time where exercise was whimsical and fun. I thought the 80s was a pivotal time in fitness where aerobics and tightly formatted exercise programs were just starting to become a global phenomenon Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons and fashion and music went hand in hand. A light bulb went off in my head.

The result was Anjelicas 22 Minute Workout, which airs twice daily on OneTV. Some parts of it are pure 80s white background, revolving platform, retro beats, tongue-in-cheek moves and plenty of Spandex. But technological updates (calorie counter, step counter, countdown clock) and more diversity bring it into 2019.

I wanted to make it modernized and more inclusive of people of all kinds. Those 80s fitness shows only had one kind of person. And while I really admired the esthetic of that era, the update was much called for, says Scannura, who also writes, choreographs and associate-produces the series.

I really wanted to showcase a vast array of people that are from everywhere, that have different stories, experiences, and they range from pro athletes to older people. We also have men.

Scannura, who also hosts Anjelicas Dance Workout on OneTV, has always made fitness a priority. She started dancing professionally at age five, took Irish dancing for years and is part of her familys flamenco dance ensemble her mom even appears on her new show. She also won the Belly Dancer of the Universe competition in 2013, no big deal.

But constantly setting foot to stage took its toll.

Recently I got injured, she says. OK, my injuries started when I was 18 years old, but when youre that age, you think youre invincible. Then all of a sudden youre frickin 28 years old and you cant get up in the morning without everything cracking.

So in addition to developing Anjelicas 22 Minute Workout, Scannura has been branching out into acting and standup comedy but still teaching and performing dance always with balance.

Throughout the show you see that Im not living off of green smoothies all friggin day. Sometimes I have a bad night, I drink a beer, I have five A&W hamburgers. What are you going to do? I think thats why people get so afraid of working out, because they expect so much from themselves so soon, she says.

But I just ask for 22 minutes and I dont take it too seriously. Its on twice a day, and there are 30 episodes. Some are more challenging than others. Some youll feel like youre rocking it and some you know youll have something to work on. Its always going to be there for you.
