If the thought of strenuous physical training in the form of marching up and down while swinging your arms vigorously appeals, stay in the CCF. If the thought of lying on a floor with your elbows in the air seems like a nice way to spend your afternoon, pick aerobics. Such was the Fettesian mentality before Fraulein Ullerboom and Senorita Russell burst onto the aerobics scene with their clutch of strenuous physical moves, encouraging catch-phrases coined by she-who-must-be-obeyed, Rosemary Conley ('if it isn't hurting'), and tapes of dubious music (in particular Miss Russell's 'happy tape'). Now we energetic aerobicees/aerobicists/aerobiscuits/aerobics-practitioners have been forced to reassess: aerobics? Not for the faint of heart.
