I have been recruited as the next exercise-group leader at DP. Although a lady in the group knows the entire routine off by heart, I am expected to lead all the motions while counting out loud, sitting in the lead spot, where everyone can see me.
Participating isn't too hard. But the counting out loud part is tough - I get the # of reps mixed up and end up stressing the wrong number when I think it's the last rep.
Exercises for old folks are based on fluid, slow movements. However, not everyone can move smoothly or keep a rhythm. So, while one lady is moving her arm to the beat, another is moving the wrong arm to the beat, and yet another is moving her arm in a rapid, irregular motion. I don't know about you, but trying to keep a steady movement while watching many unsteady movements is very challenging.
The end result? The new girl looking like a total monkey while all the seniors show her up at bicep curls and leg lifts.
Cheers,
D.
