Unlike most of the early proponents of fitness Jack LaLanne studied his field very carefully and presented what he felt his studies told him that it was the right way to do things. He is still active in the gym today, marketing a online fitness and nutrition Components.

However, from 1982 to the mid-90s, Ms. Fonda has published several fitness videos that have become very popular, especially with women. In fact, today, many people who know of Jane Fonda know her more as an advocate of physical fitness, health, exercise, yoga, aerobics and as a movie star. While Jane Fonda made no immediate contribution to the science of health and fitness, she, like Richard Simmons, was able to increase its stature among a large female audience and helped to make work fashion, sweat, get fit, and feminine. Jane Fonda may have helped to advance public awareness of the value and virtues of exercise and fitness, so that many people now consider a woman in good physical shape to be a sexy woman just because of his physical condition.
