Truth be told, I would not have done this video re-edit were it not for the hip-hop part. That is not to insult the magesty of chair-dancing the twist, the Shorty George, the truckin' and doing the hand jive with your feet; rather, it is to express my deep love for vague covers of 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready for This." Don't worry, this will all make (some) sense when you watch the video above.
Also, I think that it's very nice that they've developed a workout for people with disabilities and families with separation anxiety. However, I can't help but fear that in the wrong hands/chair, all this just amounts to exercise for lazy people.
"Let's twist again, like we used to do!"
I laughed at this for the obvious reason of mangling the original lyrics to "Let's Twist Again," but moreover imagining Chubby Checker claiming his intellectual property was stolen had they not done that.

Have you ever seen Sit and Be Fit?

If I am at home and it is on I can't do anything else until it ends.

It reminds me of a minstrel show with frisbees instead of tambourines.

Confetti? Oh yeah.
I have a feeling it would all be much easier standing up. And I don't think they're getting any exercise.

Holy shit, it ends with glitter!
I'm all for developing exercises for people with physical limitations but do we have to make them do things like the cat eyes? Haven't they suffered enough?

My mom actually owns this video. She used it when she had surgery on her foot. My father said it was the saddest thing he had ever witnessed.

I don't think this form of exercise can really burn fats. What do you think?
Posted by: Spartan 300 Workout | May 16, 2011 at 11:13 PM
Brian: No.
And, lol, the YouTube channel chairdancing has started responding in the comments to people who say that this won't keep anyone fit.

Oh my god, Sarah. I laughed like a crazy fool at your comment. Maybe it's also 'cause I imagined someone dressed like the lady doing it in the living room with a man in the doorway looking in shaking his head. Haha, priceless!

Though the guy in the green is attractive, his face looks like he was there as an extra and had NO idea what he signed up to do.
