Aerobicise Season 1

1981 · Tantra Films / Ron Harris Productions

Aerobicise was one of the most influential early exercise and fitness shows to air on television, through a combination of pulsating of music, attractive instructors, and a unique medley where some exercisies may be solo, in pairs, or through groups with varying levels of difficulty. This collection consists of 13 out of the 20 segments produced for the first season, airing initially as single segment airings on Showtime, ESPN, Good Morning America before expanding to two segments in January 1982 on Showtime, from which these recordings were taken from. Some of these segments were later packaged for home video releases, but often had different background music used for them. After a second set of exercise segments were produced in 1982 along with a new logo. Finally, full half-hour episodes were produced starting in 1983, retitled as The 20 Minute Workout for syndication.
