Aerobics (1981)

Collection: AJV
Category: Lifestyle & Exercise
Collector's notes: Aerobics have always been a good way to exercise. With the stretching and strength training and all. But in the 1980s, it was a was of life. Thanks to Jane Fonda's popular workout tapes, aerobics became the must thing for both women AND men. Other attributes to the sudden aerobics craze was Olivia Newton John's hit "Physical" to Jennifer Beals' role in "Flashdance", which soon made workout gear not just for "working out" anymore. Leggings, ripped T-shirts and legwarmers were being worn on the streets, at the market, malls, everywhere.
