Definition
A cardiovascular exercise regimen performed to music, typically involving synchronized movements that made the 1980s simultaneously the fittest and most fashion-challenged decade. Born from the radical idea that getting your heart rate up should involve matching spandex and enthusiastic arm waves, it remains a staple of gym classes where coordination goes to die. The original influencer fitness trend, before influencers existed.
