Did you ever use a Thigh Master? Maybe participate in some Tae Bo? Did your mom or grandma ever rock a pair of Air Shorts?
This week I dig in to the fitness trends by year - starting of course with 1965. Some of these so called “fads” have actually become legitimately accepted aspects of health & fitness - treadmills, stationary bikes, inversion tables - all starting in the 60’s, 70’s or 80’s.
For every winner, there are of course many scams, scientifically disproven theories, and frankly, some absolute garbage - but when there is money to be made, someone’s gonna try to make a buck!
There also needs to be at least a little credit given to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jane Fonda, and Richard Simmons for their positive impact on fitness culture.
What are some of your favorite exercise inventions, programs, or celebrity fitness gurus? And do you have any of these items in a closet somewhere?
