Out of curiosity for how long did you practice aerobic in a club ? Do you feel it made you more in shape now or countrary it created more problem ? I did sport studies and i am curious of those long term effect on the body of high impact sports
I WAS BORN IN BRAZIL BUT i lived in the USA for 1 year from 1988 to 1989, then when I got back the fever of Aerobics in Brazil was contagious. We had amazing atheletes that competed around the world. I was always a gym rat, did gymnastics when I was younger, so when I entered aerobics class in 1989 I was a perfect fit. SUCH a wonderful time. We were free people. No fucking social media, no bullshit Covid destroying the lives and livelihood of people. THESE were the happiest times in my life. Watching this competitiontook me back in time in such a way that I started crying. This competiition was THE ONE that made me so vibrant and into drew me to this category. In Brazil It was sponsored by RAINHA (knda like our Nikes at the time). Thnak you for this. : , (
No Redbull, wasn’t invented. Hours and hours of training. 33 year career and coke wasn’t part it. We were health fanatics and prided ourselves on doing all the work to loo and perform like that.
I am a 80's kid and i remember people were more connected with each other. I love those 80's women and they were good is shape too. And i really hate 2021 and people are more separated in this time. I really miss the 80's.
I'm impressed by their stamina & enthusiasm...but what I liked best was hearing their names, and the names of the gym they worked out at. There are some gems!
Tyla Patterson, seen in the dual competition starting at 12:11, is now known as Tyla Reich and operates a pilates studio in Southern California. There is a TH-cam video featuring her today talking about a special aerobics bike the Realryder. It can be viewed searching under her name.
I remember the 80's as a kid, we did have color TV and VCR's but no internet or computers keeping us inside. Lots of us spent most of our time outside being active and still watched our favorite TV shows and cartoons. Everyone was in better shape back then. Now is a whole different world compared to then. Athletics was the norm for most people though not everyone. Probably much higher then than now.
Tried to make a tracklist but hit a snag on two songs, would appreciate if anyone could help. Note that most (if not all) the songs seem to be altered for the show so they would be quicker.

Brings a lot of memories back from 80s and 90s. Now it’s all changed to choreography dancers that make it way better to watch. Though it all makes you wanna stay active.
I want a movie version like Pitch Perfect but of this. How did they prepare and how intense were the rivalries ? How did one even get into the competition? What are the qualifiers?
How the hell did the Woodlands pair (the interracial couple) not win the mixed competition? Their music was by far the best, included actual dance moved and managed to kiss during push-ups. Crushed the other pairs honestly.
I recently learned from a Siskel & Ebert worst of 1985 countdown that theirs a romantic movie called Perfect, starring Jamie Lee Curtis & John Trovalta, set in the world of Aerobics. Now this.
Here we are again, united by the algorithm.
Once again.
I can't believe it
Hahhhhhhhha
Lol
Hi lol
It's aggressively cheesy. But props to them, they're incredibly athletic. It doesn't look easy at all.
It's really silly choreography for these talented athlete-dancers 😂
I did that and it was really hard because pretty much all moves were high impact. Lotsa fun and wouldn’t trade it.
@fishstickk WAIT I FOUND YOU, and to the other person it really is
It ain't easy being cheesy.
Looks silly to us, but this takes some serious athleticism and flexibility to pull off. Can’t imagine the amount of calories you burn doing this.
We need a "where are they now" update
😂

Your shin splints have long since healed 39 years ago. Today is the day to do these exact aerobics again as you watch this video! Get hopping! 😉 😁
They are aerobics champions after all. If anyone should be able to do that without being out of breath, it should be them.
Cocaine was crazy back then
Coke
Literally 1984
Why is this on my recommended and why am I 20 minutes in already?
Laughing so hard I’m crying; I am you.

Lots of contestants seemed to make it every year. Recognized several. Yes...I’ve watched the other ones lol

I feel like everyone competing is part of an organization they control and are the only eligible members. They’re ALWAYS from the same exact exercise clubs. They were like only four new clubs.
The fact I legit sat and watch this ENTIRE thing through...
So that's what my upper neighbours do the whole day during quarantine
Yours too?!...they should connect with mine - well mine are more like a group of "Derwishs" than aerobic fans
I miss the 80s...when we lived & had fun. This makes me want to jump up & do all these moves, even if I throw my back out! Lol
Or hurt my groin muscles doing a high kick or splits
The 1980s was one big party and everyone was invited.
Sooooo why did this die out the music the outfits and movements the ENERGY I about to start this back up cuz this shit lit 🔥 forget the gym

Why are 80s music so contagious you just want to immediately dance
Good ass music to last
ah i love how kitschy the 80s were, you gotta love it. I wonder what all these people look like now...also the host was so awkward , its funny lol
the 1989 championships never aired, so it was completely unedited and that's why the host comes off as awkward
