Aerobics instructors and jazzercise devotees back in the '80s had no idea how much joy their perfectly feathered hair, matching leotards and corny commentary would bring to us in the future! At That's Fit, we're rounding up a few of our favorite funny fitness videos. Some are the real deal, while others are purposely playful, but no matter what, they're sure to bring a smile to your face. If you have a favorite, please share it with us!
Like the rest of you, we're getting psyched for the 2010 Winter Olympics. But we've realized that, while watching seasoned professionals compete in their chosen sports, it's easy to forget just how darn difficult these skills are. To remind you, we've gathered some bloopers and funny winter sports videos. And, hey, no hard feelings if watching this makes you think twice about this weekend's ski trip. We understand.
Winter Bloopers
Skiing isn't as easy as the pros make it look. And, actually sledding can be tricky, too. A few of these crashes look a little scary, but judging by the laughter heard in the background (and, you know, the fact that they posted their videos on YouTube), we're guessing everyone ended up just fine. An extra marshmallow in one's hot cocoa does wonders for mending a bruised ego.
Ice Skating
So many figure skating routines are unintentionally funny. You know what we mean -- in an attempt to show emotion and passion, sometimes the skaters just end up looking ... well, kinda silly. So how can you avoid this? Get in on the joke, like this guy. Yes, the routine is cheesy -- it's supposed to be!
Biathlon Comedy
It's one thing to be in on the joke -- it's quite another to set up your own elaborate spoof! Let's be honest -- biathlon is one of the more unusual Olympic sports. It's cross-country skiing mixed with rifle shooting. Who came up with that, anyway? But it gets far funnier when someone takes the sport in a different direction. Because, just so you know, nobody is actually supposed to get shot in biathlon.
