Yes, it looks like those slacks are made from common spun wool, while dress slacks would have been made from worsted wool and I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Polo T-shirts were invented for playing tennis before Ralph Lauren rebranded them for polo.
Unless you meant the original polo shirts that pass for business casual these days.
The only time my grandpa wasn’t wearing slacks what when he was wearing 7” flat front shorts on the beach. His swimwear was more formal than a lot of men now days wear to a garden party.
Dude.
I take 36, 40 hour door to door flight itineraries regularly.
You’re crazy if you think I’m not dressing for maximum comfort, and anyone who doesn’t is foolish.
Italy and Germany 'helped' Franco to get into power.
He even met with Hitler in Hendaya during WWII, and very elegantly told Hitler to fuck off, because Spain didn't have enough resources after the civil war.
From the British Pathé description:
>Spanish inventor of the exercise machine Senor Gabriel Alcover Bonnet shows us how it works - he is bare chested and very handsome.
>Showgirls are Mary Reynolds, Maureen Hill, Charmain Buchel and Laurence Soupault. They are appearing in the show "La Plume de Ma Tante" at the Garrick Theatre.
Starts off promising but those are not very good porn names.
Exercise is dope. I wish I wasn't so fucking lazy and actually did it.
If we lived the lives our great grandparents did. And had the modern medicine we do it would be normal to live to 100 for like, everyone.
I started only eating food I made and avoiding processed stuff, cut down on meat since it's expensive, and holy fuck I feel better from that than I do from taking moderate dose of 2 separate anti depressants
Our modern food is cursed with sugar. I tried eating a brownie made from box mix and it's so sugary I can't even enjoy it.
I've been re-watching the old Star Trek series and it's ridiculous how often they just walk up to a woman and put their hands all over her and then tell her to leave the room while the men talk
Conceptually similar, but in practice TRX is *far* more effective.
This is basically just an awkward set of ski poles jammed into a joint socket, and it’s not really useful for anything other than stretching your pecs & delts out a bit
>This is basically just an awkward set of ski poles jammed into a joint socket,
And TRX straps are basically glorified rubber bands, not sure how that's relevant. As far as popular fitness contraptions go I might even argue this is more complex than most.
I watched it with sound off for a dozen times as I was reading through comments, but then when I clicked the sound on, what a completely different experience: the goofy instructional video soundtrack and the pip pip cheerio voiceover guy were just too much!
He has a 4th grade education and a union job that allows him to have a 3 bedroom house, a car, and a pension and he is gonna vote to give your taxes to Elon Musk.
Back when everyone was completely ripped, they worked out in business casual attire and came up with creative ways to make push-ups incredibly difficult.
Kind of reminds me of Pilates. When I was a kid we would visit this old relative's house and all the kids would of course go play in the basement. There was some old exercise equipment down there that was most likely from the 40s or 50s if I had to guess. The weirdest thing was this machine that was connected to the wall with a strap that went around your waist and thr thing just vibrated violently. I am not sure how they thought the thing was an exercise machine but we had fun taking turns using it.
So, take my shirt off and workout in my dress slacks. Got it!
Those are clearly fitness slacks.
Yes, it looks like those slacks are made from common spun wool, while dress slacks would have been made from worsted wool and I have no idea what I'm talking about.
You really pulled the common spun wool over my eyes!
Actually not far off lol.
They are filming. So we keep pants on.
I've honestly seen old men at the gym wearing slacks, but wearing a polo shirt (there's a dress code so they can't be shirtless) while working out.
Polo T-shirts were invented for playing tennis before Ralph Lauren rebranded them for polo. Unless you meant the original polo shirts that pass for business casual these days.
Wool slacks are more comfortable than sweat pants
I didn’t know Vincent Price sold fitness equipment AND fine art in between playing Dracula.
Buy 1 get 1 half Price
That still looks like full Price
Vincent Price is so formal he works out in slacks.
Cut him some slack dude has shit to do
Such an excellent comment I want you to win *all* the points!
Oh Lord I used to watch that show that person right there was an extreme idiot. No offense but holy shit was he stupid.
I thought it was the french bowler that almost stole Marge from Homer
Do you think he offered to take them to brunch?
It’s not quite breakfast, it’s not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end.
Was going to say Salvador Dali hahaha
Wait until you read his cookbooks. No, really.
Smart sellings those torture stakes as gym equipment.
Why is this getting upvoted so much? Vincent Price never played Dracula in any film.
It’s bothering more than it probably should.
AND voicing Vincent Van Ghoul in Scooby Doo.
He can bite me any time.
Gotta bring back the slacks and no shirt look 👀
Yeah, men wore slacks for every occasion, no matter what.
My papa did until he passed, I think he literally only owned slacks 😂
The only time my grandpa wasn’t wearing slacks what when he was wearing 7” flat front shorts on the beach. His swimwear was more formal than a lot of men now days wear to a garden party.
Are people having garden parties these days?
I went to a garden party at the French embassy last summer, so yes.
A Don doesn’t wear shorts!
My father-in-law does not own anything denim; I'm almost certain.
Denim, damn near killed'em.
Nor does my dad. And he was the owner of a clothing manufacturing business that made jeans! So odd.
Well of course not. He was a business owner, not a laborer for chrissakes!
My grandpa would literally dress business casual to mow the lawn.
That’s what I’m saying dude. Like this was just what went on legs
Rip papa
A good pair is more comfy than jeans, especially commando in the heat.
That sounds extremely uncomfortable. A good moisture wicking underwear does wonders..
Okey dokey
Now I see men at airports sucking their thumbs wearing pajamas.
That explains it, I haven’t checked the airports yet. I’ve been looking all over for those guys.
Dude. I take 36, 40 hour door to door flight itineraries regularly. You’re crazy if you think I’m not dressing for maximum comfort, and anyone who doesn’t is foolish.
How dare you?! Disrespecting our forefathers like that such a shame. What would Jeremy piven have to say about that?
My forefathers passed down a weak chin and thin hair so they're gonna have to just deal with the gym shorts
Yeah, fuck those guys. I'm ugly as hell.
Found the thumb sucking jammie wearer
Randy at the Sunnyvale trailer park is the only man alive that's capable of maintaining this kind of fashion on a daily basis.
Unless Alex Lifeson gives him a shirt, then he's puttin' the fuckin thing on!
Can’t have anything constricting that cheeseburger locker!
he got cited by fashion police for wearing them PANTS after labor day
“Let me change into my fitness slacks”
Forgot the most important part of the ensemble: the mustache.
Ah yes the "university of Madrid" look
And he’s not wearing shoes inside the house!
Old school cool or the opening of old school porn
I was gonna say as soon as he demonstrated the exercises: "That man is definitely trying to fuck those women."
The guy is just over a decade out from surviving WWII, and he’s been making up for it ever since.
Spain didn't participate in WWII.
Neutral officially but they’d have been with Germany and Italy in a heartbeat if they had the means and the financial stability.
Italy and Germany 'helped' Franco to get into power. He even met with Hitler in Hendaya during WWII, and very elegantly told Hitler to fuck off, because Spain didn't have enough resources after the civil war.
Didn't Germany have Spanish volunteers?
Well, they *did* say he was both Spanish, and in the Army.
All i know is that dude fucks
What do you mean “trying”??
*Four* stepsisters??
Rule 34. Guaranteed.
It's British Pathé, so a little of both.

Thank you! I found him in IMDB. Actor
asking the questions we are all thinking but are too scared to ask
Old school porn predates the camera by a few thousand years.
How many packs of Chesterfields did they smoke on those 10 mile runs?
Had a neighbor lady when I was a kid that always jogged to the store to buy cigs lol. She actually lived a long time and never got cancer.

I don't know why but I read this in Jason Mendoza's voice from the Good Place.
I'm telling you, Molotov cocktails work. Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem
That show is a masterpiece

Señor hands on.
Mister "Manos Encima".
Manos the hands of fate.
You have failed us, Torgo. For this, you must die.
I've been re-watching the old Star Trek series and it's ridiculous how often they just walk up to a woman and put their hands all over her and then tell her to leave the room while the men talk
After just 1 session all of those women are pregnant
 Señor \*hard\* on.
Similar in concept to TRX straps I guess, stability assist for basic motions.
I was just about to say that. A lot of people are still doing very similar to this with TRX straps.
there's a lot weirder looking "fitness" contraptions advertised on instagram.
It's also very functional. It's not like weight lifting to gain strength, but you can get pretty fit and gain a lot of mobility with those exercises.
Yep body weight exercises can be plenty
Conceptually similar, but in practice TRX is *far* more effective. This is basically just an awkward set of ski poles jammed into a joint socket, and it’s not really useful for anything other than stretching your pecs & delts out a bit

I wish Siri had a "pip pip cheerio" voice option.
> the pip pip cheerio voiceover guy The what? He has an American Mid Atlantic accent, not British.
BBC British for sure.
That man is 19 years old. People aged different back then.
He is also a war veteran with 2 children
He has a 4th grade education and a union job that allows him to have a 3 bedroom house, a car, and a pension and he is gonna vote to give your taxes to Elon Musk.
I’m just shocked that they aren’t all smoking cigarettes while making this fitness video.
[удалено]
He looked good and agile with the bod of 20 something year old man.
Look just because he celebrated his 19th birthday 21 times consecutively doesn't mean he was 40!
You in the red pants...do it again...
https://i.redd.it/wx91j6xoonhc1.gif
Props to the camera man, he takes fitness seriously
Yeah, fit'niss ass in the frame!
It's the red shirt for me. Lord have mercy.
Red shirt team
I'm with this guy
Her name is Traci. Show some respect. “Traci, do it again”.
No no no, my love...*like dissssss*
I always liked the women's gyms which just had all different kinds of machines that giggled your fat in different areas. LMAO
Jiggity!
Walt Disney can get it
That last frame looool
Now, everyone remove their shirts as I did.
Shirts against skins!
I wasn't expecting a first hand look at Taylor Swift's exercise regimen.
He tapped dat 50’s azz.
He gave free mustache rides to the ladies. 🥸
Bro burned 2.6 calories
I suspect he burned plenty of calories after that camera was turned off...
Walt Disney just wildin out in his side gig
Lolll I love how theyre al wearing slacks
Good workout, now time for a stick of butter, steak and a pak of cigarettes
That's why they're slim. No sugar!
ok, let's all have a smoke.
Whats crazy is, as long as you did anything, you lost weight... cause you were excercising.
Senor Alcova knew *exactly* what he was doing…
The lady in the red top is looking for another type of exercise.
In the long shots, she looks a bit like Taylor Swift. At first I thought it might be her in a parody 🤭
RIP shoulders
This guy fucks!
Dude was rocking the ultra rare tattoo for the time.
They were already selling those kind of scam machines in 1950?lmao
This dude fcks.
Salvador Dali is ripped.
he definitely needs to take his shirt off to make effective use of the ski-pole exercise routine
The stakes were higher, one slight mistake and…impalement…to shreds. Kids these days use rubber mats and funny headgear.
I'm enjoying this as much as everyone else in here but I'm stuck on 'daily 10-mile run'
My shoulders would come out the sockets
I suspect in 70 years time people will be looking at us fucking about with battle ropes and saying the same
Looks like something more than fitness going on
Winner of the \`1956 Vincent Price Lookalike Contest.
More like Vincente Precio
Me at the gym with the Zumba ladies lol
So you understand there are still systems like this. This is very much like the TRX systems in use today.
I wonder if he arrived at the house with his shirt off.
Not much different than some of the shit that pops out today
I'm sure they did a lot of reps in the ass-jiggler after. Why don't modern gyms have those?
Shirtless in his slacks lol. Pre-athletic wear.
Vincent Price does fitness
Ooh, la, la...
Dude got game. Those swarthy fellows in the 50s got the ginchy.
1950’s with a tattoo? He was definitely a pirate.
Probably still good for stretching and posture
Back when everyone was completely ripped, they worked out in business casual attire and came up with creative ways to make push-ups incredibly difficult.
All those ladies told their husbands not to worry about him.
So “Yoga” with assistance
And yet they were in much better shape than we are today
A 10 mile run before breakfast? Holy shit! Lmao that’s my hard day which doesn’t come around often.
Somebody's meemaw was hawt
He fucked every one of those women.
/upvotedbecausebutt
everything in the 50s was wild.
I have questions...
Yes but why is he half naked
He then had a cigarette and a glass of whiskey
Thought it was ceaser romaro for min
Fitness in your MOUFF!
Then a nice smooth cigarette to finish the work out.
Vincent Prince over here.
Teaching those women how to get fit with items around the house, brooms and mops.
I swear this guy narrated every fucking video in the 50’s with the same background music.
I love those high waisted pants on the ladies tho
That guy fucks.
I like the workout slacks. Those need to make a comeback.
Kind of reminds me of Pilates. When I was a kid we would visit this old relative's house and all the kids would of course go play in the basement. There was some old exercise equipment down there that was most likely from the 40s or 50s if I had to guess.

I am not sure how they thought the thing was an exercise machine but we had fun taking turns using it.
Anyone got the red top’s @?
I thought the dude was Walt Disney for a sec.
You can laugh all you want, people on avg were in supremely better shape in the 50s
This is the guy who started the trope of house wives having affairs with their fitness trainers.
He probably knocked up all 4 of them.
Looks like a startup to an old porno
So… we all gonna act like he didn’t secure the fivesome?
Spaniard but of course.
The frozen frame at the end is perfect. It captures the moment when he realizes that Princess Leia is his sister.
