Vintage Exercise Videos

Well its a snowy night here in upstate New York so what else do I have to do but scan You Tube for vintage exercise videos! If you're stuck inside like me, check out these hilariously interesting videos.

The Ross Sisters


This was sent to me by two of my students, guess I should take it as a hint they want to try some of these moves in class? The craziness begins after the "potato salad" song.

Exercise and Health


The quality of this video isn't great, but I was drawn in as soon as I heard, "Therrrrre, now that's real balance and poise". You know we're doing some of those opening exercises in our next mat class :)

Vintage Exercise Equipment


Here's some cool, old exercise equipment and the lovely ladies who used it. Kind of reminds me of what pilates must have seemed like back in its day, but without the effectiveness.

Get Those Curves in the Right Places


This vintage video was obviously (hopefully) a joke at the time, and its still funny. I think I might make this required work out attire at the studio. The best scene is with the woman lifting and ravelling up the weight- so similar to Joe's Sandbag Set. I wish the quality of this video was better but this is so great that I had to post it.

How to Cross Times Square


I saved the best for last!!! If this isn't using your core, I have no idea what is.
