Hip NOT Aerobics

On Wednesday, Sandra and I ventured a little (or a lot) outside of our comfort zone and attended a hip hop aerobics class. We learned a hip hop dance routine, and it was amusing, but the constant starting and stopping of the class prevented me from breaking a sweat. However, on the bright side, I now know how to “usher”, “milkshake”, and “miss new bootie.” All are obviously life skills, and I have obtained them.

People who might like this class:

Divas

 – The girls who were front and center having a dance off the entire class

You’ve seen them. They think they’re all that, but they’re not. I am all for getting into a workout and making a move your own, but at it reaches a point where it’s just ridiculous. Honestly I’m surprised neither of them got whiplash from shaking their hair around so much.

So if you like to walk to class like you’re on a runway, hip hop aerobics is definitely a class for you.

Boys….?

 – I don’t know who talked them into it, but they were there

They get an A for effort and not caring what anybody thinks. They actually weren’t even that bad. Both boys impressed me with their dance skills and their confidence that allowed them to laugh at themselves.

Gentlemen… Looking to meet the ladies? Why not try hip hop aerobics?

While we had plenty of laughs, all Sandra and I had to say about the class was, “Never again.” Hip hop will never be my thing, and I know I won’t ever be the girl in the front of the class showing everybody else how to “work it.” It was fun to try, but I’d rather work out other ways. I’d rather take an aerobics class that gives me an actual work out. It’s not like “milk shaking” and “ushering “are going to get me anywhere in life. So thanks, but no thanks; I’ll pass on the hip hop.
