Perfect description of the song. I started thinking "this would be great excercise music" then "wtf is this hell in music form" back to "great work out beat"
I love reading comments on videos I watch. I read a lot for this video and did not see one negative comment. That's awesome. The 80's were a blast to experience. I was a kid/teen. This video opened up a lot of memories. And also I need this type of energy. Lol.
@@theoldschooldiva374 Same here. 80s teen growing up in Nigeria, listening to 80s music (back then, we just called it "music" LOL)! Ah, the memories...
with an on/off switch I hope? imagine being that driven 24/7. the constant need (not desire, NEED) to do physical demanding tasks, the excess energy you need to get rid of in order to even have a chance of falling asleep.. I dunno. I know ppl like that, they always seem close to bursting bc of the energy bottling up. intially, it sounds very tempting to just cross things of the to do list (instead of needing 1 week min to prepare mentally lol), but being that driven is equal to a partial loss in control. nooo thank u
I'm imagining this running on the televisions 24/7 and whenever an athlete died of exhaustion one would immediately take his/her place and they'd never be allowed to stop
My two favorite things about this video: A. The weird but perfectly timed freeze frames B. The announcer who says "America's Best Aerobic Athletes" every thirty seconds for no good reason.
I actually recognized this from the Key & Peele skit that turned it into a murder mystery moment, which I think is where the audio has been grabbed from? 😅
Every time I rewatch this, I'm always replaying it. The music combined with the incredible skill, flow and control of these athletes just makes for a hypnotizing video. They truly are the champions.
Whoever choreographed this deserves an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, a Tony, a Teen Choice Award, a Woody, and every other award in existence with a side of Nobel Peace Prize 😂 Oh and btw thanks... now I can't get this song out of my head!

Yup... I've seen this video pop up randomly for YEARS. I had forgotten the music. I had this stupid thing playing in my head a couple of months ago, and i couldn't fucking remember what it was from. It finally went away, and i forgot all about it... That is, until this video started up. It came right back and i instantly remembered thinking about this stupid track.
Buns of Steel with Greg Smithey is hands down favorite 80s aerobic workout ❤️ Say what you want but these people are in the best shape and look amazing.
Anyone could be a winner you just need to develop a strong mind and confidence. Trust me, confidence is key, coming from a kid who was shy all the way up to 14

It's not a movie, but there's a Key and Peele sketch inspired by this video, it's called Tragedy Strikes At an Aerobics Competition
similar to a scene in Running Man (1987)

My two favorite things about this video:
A. The weird but perfectly timed freeze frames
B. The announcer who says "America's Best Aerobic Athletes" every thirty seconds for no good reason.
It's because they grabbed the music, lopped it, and played it over the top. The original is different, and has an announcer for the people.
Those were my favorite things too!
But the whole dang thing was so impressivly Cringy- I think it gave me a Nose bleed. 👀

That’s honestly what makes me wonder if this is an intro to the competition and these are dancers and not the actual instructors competing. 🤷♀️
Yeah, those kicks were seriously impressive.
that's what aerobics is all about isn't it, heavy leg motion involves a lot of heart/lung work
The suddenly low-resolution freeze frames are the best part.
