These people are 65-75 years old now, in 2024. I hope they see this and their grand children see this video and see how great their grandmas and grandpas are!
Really can't believe how obsessively and to the last detail Key and Peele have recreated this Championship in their aerobics skit.. they even bought the music for their show.
I'm not gonna lie, I totally miss the health club days. Doing aerobics and wearing the most outrageous spandex outfits. People can laugh about it but those were some of the best days of my life.
@@peachesandcream4897 Last time I went to the gym, I went with my super ripped genius friend (weird combo i know but hes literally a mathematics genius and fucking huge) and he tried to get me to do his routine but with much lower weights, I think he underestimated how little muscle I had, and how determined I was. I couldn't straighten my arms for weeks. They were stuck at like a 45° angle. When I tried to straighten them, it felt like I was stretching my muscle too far. The worst part was that I was working at Safeway as a cashier... Try grabbing giant boxes of cat litter and jugs of detergent with arms shaped like an L. It was very painful lmao. I haven't went back. That was like 8 years ago. Now I wish I could go back cus my meds are causing me to gain weight. I'm 5'11" and I saw my weight was 180 the other day. I was terrified. But I dont have my genius ripped friend to help destroy my body anymore
And so fit. My dad taught aerobics in the 80s. He's 70 years old now, and he still runs in place and does weights nearly every day. I remember doing lots of these exercises as a kid. Fun and healthy.
I live in Japan, and showed one of these vids to an instructor at my gym. The next week, she threw some of these moves into the aerobics class, grinning at me in the mirror the entire time.
Thanks for the appreciation. As a National Aerobic Champion 🏆 I totally agree with you. We even did things in the air, a very complicated routine. (Nothing compare with this) Ours were very tough. Those were some glorious times for sure! ❤ Blessings
@@user-mj3pp9mz1yOhh thats so cool mad respect to u. I hope that not weird question and all, but for a beginner how often should they do these old school aerobics workouts and also how long should the durantion be? 😅❤
This was pre-smart phone, pre-social media, along with other technologies that have been proven to ruin the human brain’s capacity to retain information. A lot of “tech-induced”-ADHD has ruined people’s ability to clearly think, memorize and focus these days.
This was their entire life - they lived for this! My Mam was a gym bunny back in the day and I used to feel uncomfortable looking at her high-cut leotards! Xx
You think you had a good time. Just last week, Dave and I decided to have some party fun. So we pulled some of my CPU units. Strange thing, I just don't remember what happened.
In all seriousness: yeah, it's pretty silly looking. Yeah, there's way too much spandex to be healthy. But try doing these moves for even thirty seconds. This stuff is HARD and requires a lot of fitness.
It was hard. You had high impact and low impact aerobics that was without jumping. It was made as cardio and not as much as strength although you had aerobics with weights as well. Any time you use big movements you get that pump ticking so much faster than using smaller movements.
One thing I noticed was how skinny/lean a lot of the guys looked here. Guys today are all about being as big and muscular as possible, that’s what’s women go for and what we are used to seeing now. Body types seem to go in and out of style for both genders. For women it was all about curves, then came the athletic aerobic look, then the ultra skinny supermodel look, and now it is the big bum/boob implants look. I wonder what’s next.
I just realized how much of this i can watch and a few tears of pure joy came from my eyes. There are only very few things in life better than watching completely coked out overly enthusiastic people in spandex.
Otto Toksik are these people in phenomenal physical condition? Or did a bunch of them drop due to heart failure? I don't think hydroxycut should be snorted.
I stumbled across this after looking at 80s fashion which lead me to aerobics. I didn’t even know competitions like this were a thing, and I’m amazed at the level of strength, stamina, and flexibility that these people have!
It's so interesting. You have different nationalities, ethnicities, men, women, etc. and they are just having a blast. They are also incredibly fit. The flexibility and muscular strength is very well balanced.
the music is so fun. at one point (i’m disabled) i was using it to do a bit of sort of sitting aerobics. just moving my arms and legs lol. but it was fun even exhausting. i’ve got a lot of cleaning to do and not feeling well but thought this would pump me up a little. so many comments from several years ago but everyone seems to be so lovely in the comments. love it!
I can barely do push-ups. These people go from one set of push-ups into a different set of push-ups into a different set of push-ups into high kicks and sit-ups. This is definitely peak fitness.
I've seen so many comments of children remembering working out with their moms in the 80s, the music, the suits, the drive, it's an American treasure, I tell you. It's so simple but it defines so much, like the Asian mom who cuts strawberries or the Mexican grandma that can roast anybody in 2 lines or less. I was born in the 2000s and there is nothing remotely close or positive that brings my generation together, we just tear each other apart over politics or what everyone wants society to be. It's a shame technology has made us so blind. I can't help but feel jealous of those who grew up without it, building connections and purpose with their own two hands, actually having something to call theirs.. America does not have to be so divided..
Low key these sorts of exercise would constantly motivate me to be healthy and enjoy exercise. WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK! We would all be a lot more fit and happy because of it too.
Yes, I was at the gym after work every day taking the toughest aerobics classes at the gym from ‘87 to ‘99. This workout truly kicked your ass! Gyms just don’t offer classes like this anymore. Now it’s Zumba-fun, but doesn’t even come close to the high level of strength and endurance needed to get through one of these classes
I highly admire these people. It is my goal to one day reach a point like these guys where I'm so fit that I can smile hard while working out just as hard.
Dude seriously this looks like Americas best time culturally and physically. We need to get back here. I cant speak for politically or with drugs or anything but I'd be proud to be American if we still had stuff like this
As a teenager in America, I’m just surrounded by people who don’t give two craps about healthy living unless they are in sports but I really don’t enjoy sports

Say what you want, but those guys and gals have amazing bodies and skill. I bet they were much healthier than the steroid monsters people look up to nowadays.
I remember my mum doing aerobics in the 80s. I was 5 years old and I would watch them dance in their colourful leotards and gym clothes to “Thorn in my side” by the Eurythmics.
I wonder how many of our potential parents participated on this event.. or even where all of these people are now, maybe some of them are now watching themselves in youtube.. we will never know.
I wish I could say my parents won an aerobics championship in the 80's, but they're not cool enough. Nobody's parents are cool enough. These aren't mortals.

selekos I am one who likes challenging myself and I actually do aerobics for staying in shape and I have fun while doing it. These people are top of their physical abilities and energy. How old not sure the audience or dancers/constraints are.
I was in college when I saw these. They inspired me to get fit, though I never did get into the spandex. Aerobics led to kickboxing, which led to weight lifting. I started mountain biking, after road biking for 25 years, but have always loved weights. I tried a class with the aerobics + hand weights, like at 38:16. Yeah, if your hands get really sweaty . . . let’s just say bad things happen. 😳
@No Name Even though the lady was not hurt too badly, I was too horrified to be able to try again. Of course, I was in my 20s. Now, in my 50s, I think I’d find it hilarious once I was sure everyone was okay.
i feel like this would be a perfect theme for a movie, somehow the universe rests on me going back in time and winning the 1988 crystal light national aerobic champions
I’m 22 and those people seem so healthy on so many different levels. They are physically fit but also mentally really confident and competitive and disciplined. Also no bs politics and pure skill. I love this.
44:12 Imagine these athletes' effort and training during the years for this moment. Yet, when the champion was announced, the other guy left the stage in 1.5 second, to give way for the winner(probably as instructed by the camera director). He has a huge heart, and showcases real sportsmanship.
I wish this was still a thing! This is freaking amazing. The strength, coordination, diversity and not to mention the complicated routines this is freaking amazing. Please please bring this back!!!😍👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
I must say the camera work is freaking excellent. The composition, the angles, the fast cuts are done really well. This is an awesome documentation of something terrible...sort of like "The triumph of the will".
I'm just waiting for the culture and style of the 80s to loop back around. Wished I remembered more of the 80s but I'm still glad I was a 90s kid. The last great decade.
Can i pleeeeeease go back in time??? Like you have to be one super miserable effer to watch this and remain in a bad mood. Crystal Light: Bringing this back will put you back at the top of the beverage industry..
have no idea why youtube recommended me a 10 year old video of an event from 35 years ago, but I'm glad it did. I was looking for a compact treadmill to buy, it turns out I don't need one, you can run in place just as efficiently.
I think the most beautiful thing about all this is that it didn’t matter your age, race, or gender. No matter what, you were an aerobic athlete and you danced with your fellow aerobic athletes together and supported one another no matter what
@@rickwrites2612 This was a time when you knew you were picked because of talent and not because of an agenda or simple numbers of each race and what not.
This is just monumental and so charged with optimism and human accomplishment with America hosting its greatest talents in fitness to the world. I would have loved to have seen the UK as well as countries like Sweden and Finland among the international teams but I’m glad they included the Canadians, Australians, Japanese and Brazilians.
We are the winners, watch us glimmer Like the sunset of champions! We're in control, body and soul We push ourselves to the maximum! The Champions, The Champions! We are the Champions! … Shining so bright We take the spotlight We are the ones We're the champions! Looking farther Beating harder We play to win We're the champions!

Absolutely genius sketch, imo
Keep dancing 😂!
I just ran into this video by chance and my chest hurts from laughing so hard, I keep waiting for a fight to break out between two dancers
So did this fight really happen? I could not find at what minute the incident occurred
I'm not gonna lie, I totally miss the health club days. Doing aerobics and wearing the most outrageous spandex outfits. People can laugh about it but those were some of the best days of my life.
deeprose4 we still have health clubs today. They just have more variety today like, barre, CrossFit, orange theory, Pilates, etc.
Agree 100%. It was so different than what you find today in any health club. I think the music was a huge part of it.
I feel like Pelaton alone should tell you that this stuff is still huge. But I agree with whoevers decision it was to stop putting it on T.V.
So many people just go to the gym to wear the latest workout gear and take selfies in the mirror today lol

Xantar plus you gotta smile through it all
Xantar I got up to try it but it I dropped my phone in the process.. so I gave up and went to sleep
eww smiling yuck grumpycat all day
It was hard. You had high impact and low impact aerobics that was without jumping. It was made as cardio and not as much as strength although you had aerobics with weights as well. Any time you use big movements you get that pump ticking so much faster than using smaller movements.
Make America this again
Please! 😂
Dancing isn’t like this anymore. Nothings as energetic as it used to be like this
Make America Aerobics again
To me, this just shows that T.V. was always garbage
Are you buying the coke?

Don't forget the coke.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

And the URSS
The host commentator probably should have got gold for his ability to address every competitor in that time. Legend.
I remember my mum doing aerobics in the 80s. I was 5 years old and I would watch them dance in their colourful leotards and gym clothes to “Thorn in my side” by the Eurythmics.
I wonder how many of our potential parents participated on this event.. or even where all of these people are now, maybe some of them are now watching themselves in youtube.. we will never know.
I wish I could say my parents won an aerobics championship in the 80's, but they're not cool enough.
Nobody's parents are cool enough. These aren't mortals.
Sadly they are all dead now
Bruce Wayne which of them?
Bruce Wayne wow man looking great!
Bruce Wayne time sure flies, good to hear that you still work out, keep it up and greetings from Norway

Can we bring this back?! I’m watching this is 2020 and I am still thoroughly entertained.
I'm hooked on 80 aerobics
This is probably the best thing that's ever happened.
3 a.m., drinking whiskey, and watching this. Did I just become insane?
selekos You not. I'm doing the exact same thing watching this
selekos You not. I'm doing the exact same thing watching this
selekos I am one who likes challenging myself and I actually do aerobics for staying in shape and I have fun while doing it. These people are top of their physical abilities and energy. How old not sure the audience or dancers/constraints are.
Haha lost my shit
2am watching this 😂
Everyone was in such great shape. Very inspiring. I wish this trend would come back.
Legit note: do not call the number, it is someone's cell. We...just called it...
CALLING NOW SO VERY LOTS
Why would you call it?!
😂😂😂
Watched it from start to finish and actually picked up a few moves for my HIIT routine! Lol
percentage of why people are here:
98% from Key and Peele
1% from Ty Parr
1% from the weird end of CZcams
Gotta add the TF2 percentage
+pokemaster123ism thats why im here lol
I come from the weird end
least 10 percent are from the German Twitch/yt Channel rocketbeanstv
Chris M I was watching a karaoke video of "another one bites the dust" in 2017 to get recommended this.
I was in college when I saw these. They inspired me to get fit, though I never did get into the spandex. Aerobics led to kickboxing, which led to weight lifting. I started mountain biking, after road biking for 25 years, but have always loved weights.
I tried a class with the aerobics + hand weights, like at 38:16. Yeah, if your hands get really sweaty . . . let’s just say bad things happen. 😳
Wear lifting gloves.
@No Name Even though the lady was not hurt too badly, I was too horrified to be able to try again. Of course, I was in my 20s. Now, in my 50s, I think I’d find it hilarious once I was sure everyone was okay.
@@llamasugar5478 ok. LOL
The only time I get this enthusiastic about anything is when the pizza delivery dude rings my doorbell.
i feel like this would be a perfect theme for a movie, somehow the universe rests on me going back in time and winning the 1988 crystal light national aerobic champions
Say what you want about how they all appear coked up, ditzy, or high... they actually make working out look fun!
I’m 22 and those people seem so healthy on so many different levels. They are physically fit but also mentally really confident and competitive and disciplined. Also no bs politics and pure skill. I love this.
44:12 Imagine these athletes' effort and training during the years for this moment. Yet, when the champion was announced, the other guy left the stage in 1.5 second, to give way for the winner(probably as instructed by the camera director). He has a huge heart, and showcases real sportsmanship.
This should be a movie.

i hope the aliens get to see this
I literally said to my plant moments earlier this video would save us during an invasion
oh they were...don't worry.
I swear no one today looks this good anymore
skinny look is not fashionable
This is an absolute delight, a feast for the senses, what a tonic!
Ooah, Ooah! Ooah, Ooah! I love that the crowd is so involved.
Mad respect... They don't stop moving. The audience must be in shape too with all that cheering
I wish this was still a thing! This is freaking amazing. The strength, coordination, diversity and not to mention the complicated routines this is freaking amazing. Please please bring this back!!!😍👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
I remember this.
It makes me sad to see how we've changed.
Everyone having fun, getting fit and entertaining
Not many are this fit and flexible now. We'd need to bring back the classes and get people in them ever day first, lol.
This was so me back in the day with the my Afro in head band!!!!
You couldn’t tell me anything 😂😂😂😂
I managed to track down most of thee series i have no regrets! these people are so fit and happy, it makes me feel happy!
I must say the camera work is freaking excellent.
The composition, the angles, the fast cuts are done really well.
This is an awesome documentation of something terrible...sort of like "The triumph of the will".
yeah ikr!
I like how you can see all the dongs through the spandex.
Something amazing* HH
Yeah it is. Good camera work.
I'm just waiting for the culture and style of the 80s to loop back around. Wished I remembered more of the 80s but I'm still glad I was a 90s kid. The last great decade.
Wow another super 80s thing I’ve discovered. The 80s were great, no doubt about it. We this this vibe and atmosphere back!
This is pretty amazing. I wish I was that good
Can i pleeeeeease go back in time??? Like you have to be one super miserable effer to watch this and remain in a bad mood. Crystal Light: Bringing this back will put you back at the top of the beverage industry..
TheJaxVillain do they still make it?
have no idea why youtube recommended me a 10 year old video of an event from 35 years ago, but I'm glad it did. I was looking for a compact treadmill to buy, it turns out I don't need one, you can run in place just as efficiently.
I think the most beautiful thing about all this is that it didn’t matter your age, race, or gender. No matter what, you were an aerobic athlete and you danced with your fellow aerobic athletes together and supported one another no matter what
Yeah back then people didn’t give a crap about race and gender….
@@somethingsaboutmary3134 💀😂
@@somethingsaboutmary3134Actually they *had* to care to make sure it was diverse then.
@@rickwrites2612 This was a time when you knew you were picked because of talent and not because of an agenda or simple numbers of each race and what not.
The real champion here is the damn announcer.
This is just monumental and so charged with optimism and human accomplishment with America hosting its greatest talents in fitness to the world.
I would have loved to have seen
the UK as well as countries like Sweden and Finland among the international teams but I’m glad they included the Canadians, Australians, Japanese and Brazilians.
We are the winners, watch us glimmer
Like the sunset of champions!
We're in control, body and soul
We push ourselves to the maximum!
The Champions, The Champions!
We are the Champions!
… Shining so bright
We take the spotlight
We are the ones
We're the champions!
Looking farther
Beating harder
We play to win
We're the champions!
We're inspired, reaching higher
Second to none
Champions!
We're in control, body and soul,
We're moving on to the maximum!
The Champions! The Champions!

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
JonoZ Nah, fitness freaks don't do that sort of thing. Well actually, they all tried sniffing coke at least once, but the ice cubes got stuck up their noses...
FROM PABLO WITH LOVE 😏
JonoZ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 okay I see you Rick James
