The 80’s were a time for getting fit in your living room, doing aerobics or jazzercise, while wearing brightly colored spandex. Correction. They were a time for sitting on the couch while you wait for the workout tape to end, only to shove it back on the shelf where everyone can see it, so when Martha comes over you can tell her you’ve been “exercising” in between tending to your chrysanthemums.
