Raquel Welch

Undoubtedly Raquel Welch is an icon from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s – known for her unique persona, strong female leads, and the shedding the status of a “sex symbol”, Welch was loved and admired by all. So when she released her own line of fitness books and videos in the 80’s, people were buying whatever she was selling. In 1984 she released her first set of books and videos, The Raquel Welch Total Beauty and Fitness Program.

Welch’s book includes a hatha yoga fitness program along with her personal views on healthy living and nutrition – the book also included a section on beauty and personal style. Before you ask, Welch is still making television and film appearances.
