Hey - the splits were impressive! And there were some power dance names of yore among the participants - Kelly, Verdon, and Bergman. The dancing was all high impact aerobics, but I guess you had to be there to know that was the rage. Yes, the clothes were cheesey (bright colors, leg warmers) and abdominocentric (hairthin thongs, male genitals, etc) but as another poster said - it ws the 80's, a decade that saw the fitness industry marketing exercise ... with sex.
@XANADUFITNESS The name of the special was "The Stars Salute the U.S. Olympic Team." It aired on NBC in 1984. (Extra tidbit: The special was nominated for two Emmys – Outstanding Video Tape Editing for a Limited Series and Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction.)
this is extremely embarressing to watch, but i always liked barry.. rocky horror, megaforce...i saw him on syfy, which used to be called sci-fi channel, on that moby dick movie.. he really is looking old suddenly

It's not cheesy - if you were aware of your surroundings during this era, it's just ... The 80s! : )

Barry and Lisa Hartman were a "thing" at the time; I remember that little look he gave after introducing her.
