More than half of all American women today are working hard to stay fit. Why the “Fitness Fever?” The healthful benefits of ex- ercise are tough to ignore. Researchers claim regular workouts actually can com- bat stress and heart disease, add stamina, result in better sleep and a longer life as well as produce those sought- after flat tummies, firm thighs and sleek calves. This quest for fitness has spawned a new form of sport chic. The best looking athletes have tossed out their bulky sweatsuits in favor of sleek, body-hugging exercise-wear. NEW STYLES Unitards and dolman- sleeved leotards come in bright solid colors” or sophisticated ombre designs. All styles will stretch and flex through an_ aerobics class, jazzercise routine or a body-building workout because the fabric is styled with “Lycra” spandex fibre which assures optimal flex- ibility, durable wear and second-skin fit. Sleek unitards in animal prints or rich solids, cap and long-sleeved leotards with padded shoulders or keyhole cut-outs with dyed-to-match tights are some of the new Get into Action an ye wae eid * styles designed to brighten up exercise time. For the woman who wants to feel ultra-feminine while she pumps iron, there are even long-sleeved leotards with lace flirting at the neckline and coordinating lace tights in rich jewel tones. And all these fashion right looks combine the comfort of contour-loving “Lycra.” MANY OPTIONS With so many different ex- ercise programs and fashions available today, there’s no excuse for remaining seden- tary.

Avoid only once or twice-a-week workouts. You'll end up exhausted without getting any of the benefits of a regular workout, * Set reahstic goats.
