I sure hope this is as cool as it sounds (at the very least the quality of the music should be a notch above most fitness places). The 24 Hour Fitness I go to at 4am is complete crap. I want to do aerobics PUNK RAWKAH style instead. Of course I don't live in NYC and I can't wake up b4 3pm so all this is moot. *sigh*

Byron's class will involve a lot of chin rubbing on the sounds XpressWaytoYerSkull (take yer pick, Zonick Yoof or Neue Zeeland). Or to quote Half Japanese Work Out Video: If you want to loose weight quickly, run fast! If you just want to get rid off a little body fat, jump up 'n' down sloooowly.

They do a class at my gym called MTV aerobics or something like that to teach you how to dance like the young folk on MTV. I wonder if they mean Shakira? Or Westlife? Or learning Limp Bizkit routines? Unfortunately its timing isn't good for me so I haven't been yet but maybe I should check it out.

Hmm. You could be onto something here. OrbAerobics perhaps. All the self-righteous satisfaction of spending an hour exercising in the safe knowledge that all you've been doing is swaying gently to ambient synth washes.

Sweating to the Crusties! (Oh, how droll.)

Ideal PR Aerobics DJ set = "Repetition" played 15 times in a row, to be followed by "Spectre Vs. Rector". And then "Blitzkrieg Bop" as the studded belts and chain wallets come to a screeching halt.

oh man!!! I sooo want to go. Let us know how it is Geeta. I wish something like this would happen here. . .

― Ms. S., Wednesday, 22 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Surely they should have called it Pogo-robics™?

I'm not convinced that pogoing and spitting will exercise all of one's muscles adequately.

I'm not getting as much exercise as I used to, since I gave up smoking. I used to have to walk from the 1st floor all the way outside and back about five times a day at work. Giving up smoking = bad for my health.

well I am all for putting some records on (or CDs, if y're going to be really vigorous) and jumping around - The Clean's Boodle Boodle Boodle EP is an old favourite of mine for this purpose, also "Europe Endless" is the greatest walking/skipping/jumping/exercise track; however, anything with the word "punkrock" = dud. It combines two sucky things - 'punk' plus 'rock', and it's like this (too) convenient term to tag onto things so they are then "cool".

I would probably just get pissed off at half the people that show up to work out. Unless there's some blue haired granny shakin it to anal cunt, that I'd pay to see.

Geeta, spill! How'd it go?

Sounds like a definite classic. (Course, you'll have your purists that'll say punk was _always_ aerobic (before it becabe cool to bleed through yer nose.)

four months pass...

ha i found out about this today due to a poster in a record shop, and was about to start a thread but thought i'd do an ilx search first. anyway - geeta how was it?? it sounds like the answer to all my prayers rolled into one, viz i have not been doing exercise here and umm i'm sure it solves everything else too.

also - my new money-making invention to lure in all those busy city types who don't have enough time for traditional aerobics - gabba aerobics!!
