I’ve even started looking into buying some new exercise clothes, and I’m this close to (yes, really) getting a leotard. cause the eighties gonna eight eight eight eight eight. On Amazon streaming, there’s Jane Fonda’s New Workout, Jane Fonda’s Complete Workout, and Jane Fonda’s Low Impact Workout. Um, Shake it Off Syncs Up Perfectly With This 80s Workout Video Makes sense that its from 1988. Lucky for me, there are plenty of more options to look forward to if I ever tire of Fonda’s original workout. Or maybe it was because, after a few weeks of commitment, I not only found myself doing it consistently (it’s easy to squeeze in a workout at home without having to adjust to a class schedule-even if it is virtual), I also noticed my legs were toned, my arms felt stronger, and my posture-well, we’re getting there, but there was a definite improvement. We had both seen the movie before and loved it. We went to an off-Broadway play in the City and a retro-viewing of 'Dirty Dancing' in Greenwich Village. Maybe it was the fact that the workout offered two complete routines (one 30-minute class for beginners, one 50-minute advanced lesson for true believers) for a third of the price of what most workout classes cost these days. We met for coffee nearly every day in Edison, New Jersey where we both lived. Maybe it was the retro music, or her delightful pep talk (“this is how we get rid of the wobbly wobble in your lower arms”), or the fact that I never felt judged by other gymgoers because I was at home alone. And yet, Fonda’s workout video was by far the one I liked the most. If this sounds familiar, it’s because we’ve all encountered these stretching and resistance routines in many other present-day exercise classes. She ends the class with a cooldown session that includes a shoulder stand and a long inhale. Without stopping for a breath, we go into hip exercises that left me sore for two days, and finally, some work on the buttocks. Then it’s time for arm exercises, which include pulsed circles, turns, and at one point, crouching down and pretending like we’re “pulling weeds”-something, I guess, women did often in 1982? The waist exercises move muscles I forgot existed the series of ab routines that follow are killer. She goes straight into stretches, then a brief aerobics bit to get us warmed up. “Are you ready to do the workout?” she asks excitedly and a small group of very attractive people in the background cheer. Now, Fonda is 45 and sporting a, well, interesting haircut, a striped and belted leotard, violet leggings, and leg warmers while jumping along to some heavy synth music. Then, before I have time to process just how novel this decades-old personalized formula feels in the age of on-demand workout subscriptions-ClassPass! PopIn! FitReserve!-the video rewinds back to the ’80s. Even when I tried going to the gym, I had no idea how any of the treadmill machines worked, and always felt silly pressing buttons randomly while others seemed busy sweating it out. I’ve tried everything: yoga (too cult-y), Pilates (too expensive), barre (too much shaking), Spinning (see above). Still, I do understand there are enormous health benefits to working out, which is why, every now and then, I go on the lookout for that one exercise class that is finally going to change my life. To make matters worse, a few years ago, after being dragged to an indoor Spin class, I ended up being hospitalized for five days- true story. The only workout clothes in my closet are the same Nike shirts and leggings I’ve owned since I was 16 and they remain in pretty great condition. In college, when all my friends became overzealous yogis, I was the one who couldn’t do tree pose without falling over. As a teenager, I was always coming up with a variety of ludicrous excuses for getting out of PE class. Until that one fateful business trip.I’ve never, at any point of my life, been into exercise.
