4 Weeks to Fitness with Dr. Art Ulene from NBC Today

The back of this tape makes a lot of promises.

Lower your cholesterol by 10%. Drop your blood pressure by 10 points. Trim an inch off your waist. Take a minute off your mile. Add fun to your life. In four weeks.

This was a real NBC TODAY show segment series. Dr. Art Ulene was the medical correspondent for the Today show — the guy who would appear on screen between celebrity interviews to explain how to not die. They took his full multi-week fitness series and put it on VHS. 180 minutes. Physical, nutritional, mental, and emotional fitness all in one tape.

About This Tape

Dr. Art Ulene ran health segments on the Today show for years. He had a calm, authoritative presence that made him seem trustworthy even when he was telling you to do squats. The \4 Weeks to Fitness\ series was his program condensed for home use — the same format as the broadcast segments but compiled into one long tape.

ASIN Programs, Inc. produced it. Printed in USA.

The tape itself is 180 minutes at SP speed. Good condition. This is the kind of fitness VHS that sold at Walgreens near the checkout lane — impulse health content for people who saw Dr. Ulene on TV that morning and thought, yeah, maybe I should do something about that.

No lost media. This was a nationally distributed commercial product tied to a major network show.
