Sweatin' to the Oldies

Richard Simmons in striped shorts and a tank top, leading a high-school gym full of ordinary people through low-impact aerobics to 50s and 60s hits, on the VHS tape in every parent's cabinet. The first tape came out in 1988, but the sequels and the late-night infomercials selling them made it a 90s fixture.
