Brick Mantooth's Guide to 70s Fitness

[RSS]

It's the new year and many of us spend these days making foolish promises to ourselves that this is the time to finally get into shape. It's ok, it's time honoured tradition, our parents did it, their parents did it and in 2057 they'll be saying "I've got to lay off the zlorch and starting working out on the phonebonerator more"


But enough about the future, let's look at what the 1970s had to offer when folks started going through their wish book in order to find the latest "get fit quick" scheme.

I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard those belly/butt jigglers were deamed unsafe and made illegal in the United States in the early 80's.

Where do I start? I guess by saying I'm waiting for that babe on the bike to pop out,if you know what I mean. I can see the ad for the Twist 'N Tone. "Use it anywhere. Even at work!" That butt jiggle thing? Didn't I see that in a Three Stooges movie? The Wonder Lounge. hmmm.........I wonder if Chuck Norris or Suzanne Summers would want to hawk those?

Time to get out my "Bullworker"

"PHWERT"--"Ummm...that wasnt me,my underwear must have sprung a leak!"

Just thought of something. Margo (Julia Louie Dryfus) and Todd have on those silver sauna suits at one point in "Christmas Vacation". I just watched it last week.
