Stay at home moms loved to watch his morning show.
I don’t think any of them actually exercised.
My mom did, as did I as a child
I was a stay at home mom who did the exercises with Jack LaLanne. IIRC he had a big white dog and he used to say “beginners quit” so that people would not overdo it.
I also remember the TV show “15 minute workout” which featured super fit females doing lots of bounce stretching, which is very bad for one’s body. I don’t think that show even intended for anyone to exercise with at home.
