Overview
Need a bit of extra motivation to exercise? Would the chance to dress up and step back in time make you more eager to burn some calories? If so, jog along to Retrosweat. The themed workout has been getting Sydneysiders sweaty in spandex for a few years now, and s heading to Melbourne for the first time.
The class will be led by founder Shannon Dooley of Physique Aerobics, who says she's aiming to inject a lot more fun (and eye shadow) into exercising. Her classes celebrate the glorious music and dance moves of the '80s. Think Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna.
The session will be a non-intimidating 60 minutes and all experience levels are welcome, so don't rule yourself out if you think you have two left feet. Held the day after Cup Day, the workout will be somewhat horse-themed, with a prize going to the best ponytail. As for the dress code? "G string leotards are encouraged, scrunchies and sweatbands compulsory."
