The honest to gosh truth is my mom has always worked out. She worked out in the 50s. It was one of those gyms where they put a strap around your behind, and it moves back and forth quickly. Didn't do a darned thing for your body, but I guess it made her feel good.

There were some crazy contraptions in those days.

But getting the clothes off the line after a storm and smelling the fresh aroma from them the next morning is just waaaaaaaaaaaay to out there for me. I thought it was a joke thread initially.

Xena's Mom remembers butt-bumping in the mid-'60s in college. The sorority girls (Pi Phis, in case you're curious, but I'm betting more than one Chi O did it too) would find a door or some wall space, stand in front of it, and bash it with their hineys over and over and over again. This allegedly "broke up the cellulite," sez Mom. (This from the woman who was ironing someone's hair when news of the Kennedy assassination came over the radio.)

That's great. I wasn't around in the 50s, I just assumed that working out wasn't really a big priority for men, or women back then... Look at Superman, or Batman in the 60s... Superman represented the strongest individual in the world, and there wasn't a muscle on him!.
