Body By Jake

Our Favorite Tracks from Body by Jake: Don’t Quit – Music from the Original Video Soundtrack

“This is Jake: I command you to...GET...IN...SHAPE!

 

These are the first words uttered on Body by Jake: Don’t Quit – Music from the Original Video Soundtrack, and never before have a mere ten words served as more definitive proof of an album’s status as an artifact of its time. Originally released in 1984, the album’s title aptly sets the stage for its contents – it’s the soundtrack to the VHS tape released by noted celebrity trainer Jake Steinfeld – but it’s notable for being the first original soundtrack to a workout album.
