Cher then
Although she’s often referred to in the media as “Goddess of Pop,” during the late eighties eighties and early nineties, Cher was a fitness icon. She’s most widely known for her singing career, but if you were around during the nineties, you must remember Cher’s exercise videos and her books about fitness. She released her first exercise book in 1991, titled Forever Fit, and the videos were quick to come.
You wouldn’t be a real 80s fitness star without the appropriate look – and Cher had just the right physique and the right outfits to complement it – colorful bodysuits, leg warmers and headbands to match. I wasn’t just a marketing ploy – she was already successful enough with her music career – but Cher was truly dedicated to fitness.
