FRIDAY MORNING, I looked across the street and saw a crew building a stage. I had no idea what for. Saturday morning, while I was getting ready to go out for coffee, dance music began blasting from below and both cats came running inside.
One of the local gyms was hosting a workout class on the Paseo. A large crowd was participating. There was great energy. Plus step platforms, dumbbells, exercise mats — and a whole lot of Lycra. I immediately changed my plans and headed downstairs.
I took some pictures.
And THEN I went for coffee.
.
EL VIERNES POR la mañana, miré hacia al otro lado de la calle y vi a una tripulación construyendo un escenario. No tenía idea de para qué. El sábado por la mañana, mientras me preparaba para salir a tomar un café, la música de baile comenzó a sonar desde abajo y ambos gatos entraron corriendo.
Uno de los gimnasios locales organizaba una clase de ejercicios en el Paseo. Una gran multitud estaba participando. Había mucha energía. Más plataformas de pasos, mancuernas, colchonetas para ejercicios — y un montón de Lycra. Inmediatamente cambié mis planes y me dirigí abajo.
Hice algunas fotos.
Y LUEGO fui a tomar un café.
Segundo, desde la derecha: No tenía mancuernas, así que agarró a la niña más cercana.
THIS is completely my jam. I wish I could have been there to take part! 🙂 Also many colourful leggings there.
Snoskred,
It really did look like fun. The trainer had a great personality. No macho, superior attitude.
those tight lycra-ed asses got ya going, right? didn’t need coffee after that! such a pretty day in your paradise.
anne marie,
It was a glorious day. Would have been fun to start with them but my Lycra was in the wash.
It’s part of a ‘fuengirola moves’ campaign. This will be every weekend for I think the next month. There’s a schedule of different classes. I moved….away from them and sat on the beach.
“Staff” guy needs to be the fashion trend setter.
David,
And maybe lighter color Spandex next time, don’t you think?
Nothing like an outdoor exercise class to get ya movin!!
Does this bring back good memories…….
Next weekend ‘we’ expect to see YOU, Mr.Mitchell, in that group!!
Jim,
Not much for those groups. I enjoy once and then people start to get to me. But off to the gym… on my own… sounds good.
Staff Guy!
Bob,
Staff in Spanish is Personal, but so is Personal. So they use Staff. I guess they don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea. Oh well.
Ah, the irresistible lure of lycra!
Debra,
It IS comfortable.
I have a t-shirt that reads: Exercise? I thought you said extra fries! That is all I’m saying on the subject 🙂 Also, what an innovative way to use a kid!
Deedles,
Oh, I love that T shirt! I didn’t even notice the kid in the air until I downloaded the photo.
Just seeing the back of Moose and Dudo, you can tell they are disgruntled.
Mistress Borghese,
They were NOT pleased.
Must have been some tabletas de chocolate in that crowd! Very inspiring, really.
Judy,
Apparently it’s part of a Fuengirola Moves campaign. It WAS inspiring.
All the colorful leggings at least here they belong. Not like the colorful lady with all the prints on the street running from the Fashion Police.
cheers, parsnip
Parsnip,
Exercisers seem to spend a lot more time on their “look”
I am glad to see the two cats made it home from Michigan
Urspo,
Yes. And they made me promise to never make them go to the tundra again.
Exer is all you need. Cise doesn’t matter (see what I did there?).
Walt the Fourth,
So clever.
I remember days when I was that motivated! Not so much any more! 🙂
Galestorm:
(I love the name! Memories of 1950s TV.) This event was motivating. Maybe you would have found yours again.
