# 1988 VHS • Cosmopolitan Tonetics Workout 60 FPS

A calisthenics-based fitness video produced by Cosmopolitan magazine, introduced by Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown, who describes Tonetics as an innovative program designed to stretch and tone the body through gentle muscle definition rather than high-impact aerobics. Viewers are advised to exercise in clean skin to allow perspiration, with Oil of Olay Daily Cleansing Lotion recommended pre-workout and Oil of Olay Beauty Fluid recommended post-workout as a moisturizer. The workout begins standing, covering shoulder rolls and circles, lateral reaches, marching with arm variations, and side stretches. A standing lower body section follows with lunges targeting the buttocks and quadriceps, calf raises, and balance work. The program then moves to floor work for abdominal exercises including crunches, oblique rotations, and leg lowering with controlled breathing. A final floor stretch series covers hip flexors, hamstrings, and spinal rotation before the program closes with the Oil of Olay post-workout skincare segment hosted separately from the workout itself.
