Leotards and Leg warmers


My mother woke Shannan and I up way too early yesterday to go to Jazzercise with her. Yes, Jazzercise. Remember in the 80s when aerobics was the workout, well those women are now 45+ and apparently Jazzercise is making a huge comeback!

It was hysterical. Shannan and I laughed so hard we got a great ab workout :) And don't worry, Shannan was taking tips from the Grandma in front of her - not the instructor.

40+ housewives . . . check
Jazz hands . . . check
Grapevine . . . check
Madonna songs . . . check
Shannan screaming, "It burns!" . . . check

Oh, and at the end of every song the instructor screams, "Pose!" You must freeze for the big finale.

It's hysterical. Please find a location near you.

I remember my mom used to have leotards like that. She would always put shorts on over them because they were like thongs. Very funny. I don't think I'll be going.

Okay...Kristan...we need some video here. Please sneak in a video camera for us next time. Ha ha! Just looked up classes in my area...there are like 50 Jazzercise classes in Phoenix. Who knew?!? As soon as I find my leotard I'm all over it.

This post made me choke on the Coke that I am drinking. Super funny because, like you, I have made a return with my Mom to Jazzercise. I think you and I might need to start a support group of sorts. We could even have our own special Jazz hands handshake that only members are privy to.

The grapevine...it really is a timeless dance move, isn't it?

When it comes to leotards etiquette, keep in mind that a leotard is never okay if you are severely overweight or obese. When little is left to the imagination, you can end up painting a picture nobody wants. If you are a man, this goes double as you are put on display at a level that is beyond description.
