Fit Clips: Competitive Step Aerobics

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!

Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror during step aerobics class? We have, and sometimes, there's nothing to do but laugh at how serious we look. Well, we might get into our repeaters, but that's nothing compared to the work these folks put into their carefully choreographed competition step routines!

Step Aerobics Competition 1991
First things first -- early '90s aerobic fashion was a total hoot. But when you see the funky moves this hotstepper tosses in, we're pretty sure you'll be suitably impressed ... even if you're holding back a giggle.


Group Step Aerobics Competition 2001
Before this video even began, we had a question: Where did these two girls find three guys to compete with them? We only have one guy in our classes, and he really does his own thing. But we have to give credit to all five of the competitors -- they really incorporated a lot of shimmy into their show!


Group Aerobics Competition 2006
We're grateful for so much when it comes to step. Fun routines, good cuing, and a flexible class schedule all make us so happy. But also? We're pretty thrilled not to have to wear matching unitards.
