Retrosweat

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 — a series of three themed workouts inspired by the '70s, '80s and '90s hosted by Work-Shop and led by Shannon Dooley of Physique Aerobics, who says she's aiming to inject a lot more fun (and eye shadow) into exercising.

First session up on Thursday, 29 August, celebrates the glorious music and dance moves of the '80s. Think Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna pre-Popeye biceps.

Sessions are a non-intimidating 50 minutes long and all experience levels are welcome, so don't rule yourself out if you think you have two left feet. And as to the dress code "G string leotards are encouraged, scrunchies and sweatbands compulsory".

Dates for the '70s and '90s classes are TBA.
