Take a look at people who showed just how fitness is done in this series of nostalgic photos from the Shields Gazette archives.
We have chosen a rowing challenge, a fun day fitness session and lots of people getting fit in the year the Olympics came to the UK.
There’s lots more as well but why not take a look for yourself and see if any of these retro photos help to shape up your memories of these events.
