I am sure fond of Fonda, Kathy Smith, Joanie Greggains, and Judi Shepard Missett. As a man, I love aerobics. More of us guys should try it. <br /><br />Bless you all and have a great day.<br /><br />ChrisChris Kennedyhttp://chrisaerobics.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-59046495012040134462009-11-23T16:08:34.503-05:002009-11-23T16:08:34.503-05:00Grapevines.

And one maneuver that was called "rodeo" which made me pull my left gluteus medius and it's never been the same.<br /><br />My favorite piece of equipment is the yoga mat.

I was in high schoo...Yes I do miss it! It was fun!<br /><br />I was in high school in the 80's and I remember my first time doing aerobics. I hated, hated, hated phys-ed class, but there was one class where our teacher led us in an aerobic workout and I thought: This is fun! The only time I ever thought that in gym class; I wished all of our classes were like that.JavaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816858010039395389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-17856066418306900452009-11-22T20:52:07.891-05:002009-11-22T20:52:07.891-05:00I never got aerobics.

Done well, in my opinion, it was a much better<br />workout than step, zumba (not even close), or most anything else. The music, dancey style made it fun, and the people who could do it on a regular basis were always very fit, and stayed that way! I'm not saying do this and nothing else, because total body strength training is important, but just the fun factor has made high impact a lost art!Dr. Jhttp://www.calorielab.com/news/dr-jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-56018237684307109302009-11-22T12:39:28.206-05:002009-11-22T12:39:28.206-05:00Now you've got me missing disco.

Egads! But yes to grapevines and all the crazy moves - it would be kinda fun to go to a throwback class just to see if I could still do it.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-59215542538316918562009-11-21T22:26:42.217-05:002009-11-21T22:26:42.217-05:00How did you know that I've recently become obs...How did you know that I've recently become obsessed with competitive aerobics??
