17. Pamela Reif 15 Min Oldies Dance Workout

OK, we're going to mention up front that the "oldies," the title of this video is referring to are from the '80s and '90s (so...not so old for some of us). But still, this 15-minute dance workout will have you reminiscing hard about that Cher phase you went through.
