Aerobics, Thai s-tyle


This Monday was round two for Thai aerobics- what a show!  Everyday, about 30 Thais show up everyday to the park down the road from our house for 45 minutes of microphoned fitness.  Most of them are middle-aged women, but there is the occasional old man or high school student who comes along to move their feet.  I saw them groovin’ everyday in passing, so naturally it was something I had to try.  Last Monday was a doozy—joining in with the others really made me realize how uncoordinated I am (similar to me trying to do Zumba in America).  The instructor stands on a cement stage with a microphone and two side kicks on her left and right.  We got there a bit late the first time, which didn’t ease my learning curve.  But round two was slightly more successful. And everyone is dressed in color-coded polos to match the day of the week. On Tuesdays, we wear pink.
