Fit Clips: Funny Fitness Infomercials
Posted on Jun 4th 2010 2:00PM by Kristen SeymourFiled Under: Fitness
Aerobics instructors and jazzercise devotees back in the '80s had no idea how much joy their perfectly feathered hair, matching leotards and corny commentary would bring to us in the future! At That's Fit, we're rounding up a few of our favorite funny fitness videos. Some are the real deal, while others are purposely playful, but no matter what, they're sure to bring a smile to your face. If you have a favorite, please share it with us!
Unusual fitness gadgets are often funny on their own, but it's the cheesy (and sometimes ill-advised) infomercials that make these devices truly famous. Some are hilarious enough to keep us from hitting fast-forward on the DVR!
Thighmaster
Nearly 20 years old, this infomercial, starring Suzanne Somers, is still making us laugh. The device is funny on its own, but when you add in the Serious Exercise Faces of the people using the Thighmaster, you've got something truly special.
Osim iGallop
In some cases, there's a reason infomercials are mainly shown late at night. As if the motions of the "exercisers" on this device isn't enough, some of them are actually wearing cowboy hats and vests. And making shooting gestures. Hi ho, Silver!
Shake Weight
Our current favorite has been pointed out by Ellen DeGeneres and spoofed on "Saturday Night Live." Do we think the device probably provides a decent workout? Find out what That's Fit editors said. Could they have made the infomercial considerably less, uh, suggestive? Oh, baby, yes.
