Before you bought a VHS, one of the only ways you could workout at home was by listening to vinyl. The notion seems so antiquated now, but there was a huge market for workout vinyls beginning in the 1960s through the 1980s. Of those vinyls, we found some that were, let's say, pretty peculiar. Did you own any of these?

1. Isometric Exercising (1961)

Vinylcise

Exercising without moving a muscle? Sounds like my kind of workout!

2. How to Keep Your Husband Happy (1964)

Vinylcise

Forget working out for personal fulfillment, work out to please your spouse.

3. Slenderide (1970s)

Vinylcise

It looks like this workout will take you on a journey through space and time. 

4. Musical Plan for Reducing (1977)

Vinylcise

Reducing what, exactly?

5. Bend & Stretch (1978)

Vinylcise

See, children's fitness didn't start this century. Who could be a better fitness guru for kids than a limp doll? 

6. Jazz Dancing (1977)

Vinylcise

Get those moves like Bob Fosse.

7. Roller Dancing (1979)

Vinylcise

It was only a matter of time before roller skating showed up on this list.

8. Flashbeagle (1984)

Vinylcise

It looks like Snoopy joined the fitness fad in the 1980s by channeling Jennifer Beals.

9. Believercise (1982)

Vinylcise

Working out to gospel music has never looked more appealing. 

10. How the Waist Was Won (1982)

Vinylcise

We think this country music workout involved a lot of line dancing. 

11. Miss Piggy's Aerobique Workout (1982)

Vinylcise

Would Jane Fonda approve of Miss Piggy's workout? It includes no heavy lifting, no getting out of breath, and no messing up your clothes. 

12. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Body Workout (1984)

Vinylcise

Get a body like Arnold's with this low-intensity workout.
