Thai dance aerobics at Lumpini Park

If you walk in to any public park in Thailand at around 5:00pm you will likely find at least one group doing dance aerobics. Is this one of the secrets why Thai people look so young and slim? :) Your guess is good as mine!

I really enjoyed this sight at the Lumpini Park as we were walking around ...there were about 3 different groups going on at locations close to each other. I did notice that each group had a
different phase so that meat based on what you are looking for people have choice to join one of the groups.

Most of the people are young or mid age but you do find a high number of older people as well...there was one elderderly gentlemen who couldn't really keep up with anything but was still at the edge of one of the groups going on at his own pace.

The trainers and the equipment seems to be publicly funded ( may be from city authority)... the music is quite upbeat and you will here the counting Thai as they switch moves. Most people seemed to be regulars and had no problem in keeping up with the routine.

It seems unlikely that I will work up the nerve to join any of those groups...but who knows may be one day I will feel crazy enough that I will !!! It does really seem fun when you have that big crowd with you.
