Getting Fit Through Biking 1

The 1980s was the decade when fitness and health became a number one concern for many people worldwide. Fitness videos, gyms and sports activities became very popular and keeping fit became part of many people's daily routines. And Shelley was keeping herself fit as well. In August of 1983, she appeared on a spread for Self magazine about bikes. She modeled and tested bikes that were great for keeping fit at any weather. She tested the Exercise Bike, a stationary bike that could be used for days when the weather kept one indoors. It had an adjustable resistance mechanism that intensified one's workout as one improved. And, of course, Shelley worked out in style, in sleepwear by Ralph Lauren.
