Now I'm all one for retro; in fact I'm quite partial to some 80's music but on Wednesday I witnessed (as Sue Sylvester would say) "Pure Horror".
I went swimming with my family to kick off the new weekly Edwards family Workout Wednesday and my mum had planned to go to an aquarobics class (aerobics in the pool for those of you who might not know) but during the week she threw her back out so she came swimming with us and decided to see if the workout class was for her, and this is where our story begins.
I can honestly say I have never been so shocked in my entire life.
The instructor looked like she'd come straight out of an 80s workout DVD. She had ginger permed hair which was down to her waist (even in a high pony) with a sweat band and a high fringe. She had matching tight workout apparel in (as in matching beige stripe going from her shoulder to her ankle) and bright red lipstick. I had never seen anything like it in my life.
Then came the music. I don't know about you but I think that music is one of the key parts of a workout. I know that if I've left my iPod at home my workout is generally much shorter and a lot less intense. This 80s instructor had one CD that she used for this class. This CD had only 4 songs on it. 4. I kid you not. 3 out of the 4 songs were Kylie Minogue songs from the 80s, the other was Celebration by Kool and the Gang. She played the whole CD on repeat for the poor victims in the aquarobics class whilst getting them to perform mediocre movements that really could have no benefit at all (jumping up and down on the water for 5 minutes no stop was a particular favourite - where are the toning moves)!
It's fair to say it was the worst class I've ever witnessed thus far and Mum said she'd rather stick hot needles in her eyes than attend it!
Tell me - have you ever been to a shockingly bad class?
