You've come a long way, spandex.

To celebrate 100 years of "keeping fit," UK Healthcare provider Beneden has created a viral video that takes us through 100 years of fitness fads, starting with simple stretching in the '20s and ending with today's Zumba trend. In between? Hula hooping, aerobics while sporting some clutch '80s wear and who can forget the Tae-Bo craze of the '90s? Remember? Everyone was always talking about "double time!"

If this doesn't make you want to get off your ass and work out, well, just come sit next to us because we're going to start binge-watching all the Fast and Furious movies while eating chicken fried bacon.

We're currently working on a video called "100 Years of Making Excuses to Not Work Out." It starts with the ending of prohibition and ends with Netflix.

I love the extra calorie burning and sculpting the step workouts offer. This list is just what I've got in my current rotation so far. I hope to keep adding to it as I find new step workouts." 1.Simply Step: Classic MovesDVD ~ Gin Miller The list author says: "Wow! Don't let the basic moves fool you.

Amazon.com: Crazy about step aerobics

MIAMI: Vigorous exercise, the kind that makes you sweat, get red in the face and breathe hard, may be better than moderate exercise when it comes to living longer, researchers said Monday.

The study by Australian researchers is based on more than 200,000 adults over age 45, and is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine.

The study participants were followed for more than six years.

Those who did jogging, aerobics or competitive tennis -- vigorous exercise for 30 percent of their weekly workouts -- had a mortality rate that was nine to 13 percent lower than those who did moderate exercise, like swimming, social tennis, or household chores.

"The benefits of vigorous activity applied to men and women of all ages, and were independent of the total amount of time spent being active," said lead author Klaus Gebel from James Cook University's Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention.

"The results indicate that whether or not you are obese, and whether or not you have heart disease or diabetes, if you can manage some vigorous activity it could offer significant benefits for longevity."

Currently, the World Health Organization urges adults to do at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week.

But the current research suggests that given the choice, people should opt for some higher intensity exercise if they can, and if their doctor agrees, the study authors said.

"Our research indicates that even small amounts of vigorous activity could help reduce your risk of early death," Gebel said.

"For those with medical conditions, for older people in general, and for those who have never done any vigorous activity or exercise before, it's always important to talk to a doctor first."

Vigorous exercise helps people live longer: Study

Study found vigorous activity offers 'significant benefits for longevity' Jogging, aerobics or competitive tennis was better than gentle exercise Health bodies should change their guidance to recommend tough exercise Even people with diabetes and obesity benefit from breaking into a sweat

Working up the occasional sweat while exercising in middle age will help you live longer than just going for a daily stroll, research suggests.

A major study found those who undertook even the odd period of vigorous activity were more likely to avoid an early death than those who stuck to only moderate exercise.

Even those who have heart disease or diabetes would benefit from exercise that makes them puff and sweat, researchers said although they warned them to consult a doctor first.

The findings call into question NHS guidelines which suggest the recommended weekly 150 minutes of moderate exercise for adults is just as good as 75 minutes of vigorous activity.
