We're gonna have the crayons on this side and then the box on the other cone.
Welcome to urban recess, a blast-from-the-past fitness class that uses old schoolyard games as a workout.
Ready? Go!
The brainchild of trainer Karin Schmidt, it's to help clients enjoy exercise, so they'll stick with it.
Cheering.
We said, you know, it wasn't so hard at recess. Everybody was playing on the playground. Nobody was sitting on the bench.
Ali Battaglia signed up after losing interest in running. She gives urban recess high marks.
They're really good workouts. Everyone kinda starts laughing and, you know, oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm doing this. But then the next day, you're like wow, I'm sore.
Team work, team work, team work!
It's women only here. Men used to participate until they were given a time out for bad behavior.
We had one situation that finally broke the camel's back where a guy lost control, bumped chests with a woman and pointed in her face and told her she was out of bounds and we finally said, OK that's enough.
Laughter.
What looks like utter chaos, is actually carefully-planned to get you to work muscles you probably forgot you had.
Balloon pop. Laughter.
It's not easy to move like that anymore. We don't move 360. Everybody's on a treadmill nowadays.
The fun makes the hours fly by, leaving everyone breathless, but wanting more.
It makes you realize that, how carefree life once was.
