For a while, in the 1980's, I was a nationally certified Aerobics instructor for Bally's Health And Fitness. That blue Lycra unitard was the outfit I wore; it's what REAL men wore at the gym back in the day! NOTHING AT ALL GAY ABOUT IT! Stop snickering! Our dream (as instructors) was to get on some "Star Search" competition show (though nothing ever came of that). Men in Lycra... (sigh).
Though today, we have this...
I'm not complaining. My knees and joints are, but over all, I am not complaining.

I remember the days of men in Lycra. I was a certified personal trainer in the early 2000s. I wore loose cotton-blend pants and a polo shirt.
Lycra is unforgiving -- congrats for being able to wear it!
Oh yes men and Lycra. What's not to like? Nothing and I mean nothing is left to the imagination.
NOT. ONE. BIT! VPL, babe, VPL!!! It was a status symbol in the 1980's; if you male and you wore Spandex you were a hot shit! Think of Lyle Alzado and his aerobics tape. Arnold! JCVD! Manly men wore tights! Then some dumb fuck decided they were too modest and made "Bored Shorts" OVER spandex the new rage.
Spandex is the perfect material for a tough workout --- it gives and doesn't scrunch the goods. Why do ya think ballet dancers wear tights? Today's ridiculous knee-length crap restricts movement.
But did you ear leg warmers? The good ole days!
Of course!!! With a matching sweat band!
