On April 24, 1982, actress Jane Fonda revolutionized the fitness world with her first Jane Fonda Workout video. In the 1980s, aerobics was super trendy and so were the colorful workout clothes. Want to dress like a 1980s aerobics junkie? Here are 16 accessories you need to start sweating like a fit ’80s babe.

2. Wear Leg Warmers

Don’t even think about doing aerobics without a pair of matching leg warmers to keep your ankles and heels nice and toasty. Knit leg warmers are best.
3. Wear a Cool ’80s Hairdo (Possibly a Mullet)

Every great aerobics workout needs a cool 1980s hairdo, like Jane Fonda’s amazing mullet.
4. If You Can’t Do a Mullet, Wear a Scrunchy

If you can’t pull off a mullet, then pull your hair back with a big scrunchy. Preferably one in a bright, wild color. Or pull half of your hair back with a scrunchy and style your bangs sky-high. Bring extra hairspray to restyle it after your workout.
5. Wear High-Cut Fitness Briefs Over Spandex Pants

If you want to show some midriff, opt for a sports bra with matching Spandex pants topped with black high-cut briefs. The briefs will help hide the dreaded camel toe.
