    Btw, before opening it, I guessed the thread would be about Richard Simmons. My mom loved Richard Simmons, and also was into jazzercise.

    I've told this story before, but this was also the era of Jane Fonda workouts (and Olivia Newton-John's Let's Get Physical, with a video indicating that it was really all about exercising). A high school friend found her mom's Jane Fonda's Pregnancy Workout video (VHS, you know) and was absolutely horrified that her mom was pregnant at her age (which of course at that time seemed comically old), but her mom explained that she just figured it would be the easiest one to start with.

    I had several Jane Fonda VHS workouts, and Kathy Smith, and Denise Austin. "Fat burning zone" lol.

    running before there where personal tracking devices and Map my Run.? You'd just run around your neighborhood, park, trail or wherever, based on perceived exertion, and "timed " yourself based on start time and end time on your wrist watch, getting the distance off of your cars odometer driving the "course" several times? Maybe you carried a stop watch? Everything was approximate, guessed at, or just not known.

    I was a Girl Scout in the late 70s and feel like exploring the woods with GPS and a map on my phone is cheating...

    I have fond memories of doing yoga with my mother in the early 70's with a gentle speaking woman on TV called Kareen Zebroff. In my late teens I was in the army reserves. Just know that you haven't lived till you've run in combat boots LOL And yes, Jane Fonda's Pregnancy and Recovery VHS tape was used daily when I was pregnant with my first child in 1984.

    How'd I get so old? 😉
