Have you been doing Keep Fit classes for a long time.

Frank you must be in great shape, well done.

In the 50's and 60's there was no restriction on age to do keep fit at the centre I went to.
When I was 11 I was sent to do keep fit by the headmistress of my school who later became my mother in law because I was no good at football etc.
I know you now have to be 14 and accompanied by a responsible adult to do the modern day equivalent ( aerobics ) at the centre I now go to.
I don't think I suffered any damage by doing keep fit at 11.
The one thing I can say is the keep fit instructor at the university I went to said is she will always remember me. I left in 1975 and she remembered me in seconds when we met in a motorway service area about a year ago.
Most of the teachers at the school I went to remembered me years later,
I am not sure if it was due to me being one of the few boys who did keep fit at school or if it was due to the fact I became the son in law of the headmistress.
Another thing I can say is that all the boys my mother in law sent to do keep fit in my era are still doing something like aerobics 50+ years later in various parts of the country. Some of them as the only man in the class.

I was too young to do keep fit when the music in the opening post was popular but I can recall racing round the ice rink to it during the ladies speed. I can also remember it was played during the mixed speed which was when you were asked to skate round the rink with a boy who fancied you and who you hopefully fancied as well. The secret was to pretend you were really scared so he'd feel all manly and he'd just have to hold your hand really tight, it also meant he felt six inches taller because he was such a fast skater. If you could blush when pretending to be scared it was even better and meant greater things all round. Truth is - it was hard to be scared when you were a figure skater and used to going fast on your own. But try we did, very hard, because some of those junior ice hockey players were just so worth it. :D

It was all very innocent, really, no hanky panky or the likes, just thrills galore :D

I left university in 1970.

A lot of ladies remember my keep fit activity at university but do not remember the subject I studied.
The instructor said when I left that I can always rest assured she would always remember me.
In 2005 I met her in a motorway service station and she knew my name within 5 seconds.

Frank....are you really a houseful of slightly bored or imaginative Drama students on a project at Birmingham Uni?

Frank, we know (because you've told us) that you've been going to Keep Fit etc. classes for 50 years, so of course you remember all the music! I think you deserve a medal of some sort...

That's quite a fast tempo Frank - you must be quite fit
