Iconoculture: A few leaps on the treadmill? The FR? FL? D? fitness program blends break-dancing and skateboarding moves with athletic footwork on a customized moving treadmill called the Launchpad. With its martial arts–like twists, inventor/fitness guru Kappel LeRoy Clarke says its not your mother’s treadmill (MTV Summer 04). FR? FL? D? is a great way to challenge the body,”sharpening reflexes, improving weight distribution, and boosting conditioning (Fitness 9.04). And unlike some fitness fads (remember stripper aerobics?), the combo of balance and ballistic moves gives FR? FL? D? an alt-sport, boy-friendly spin.
FR? FL? D? has been dubbed the next generation for fitness freaks (Entertainment Weekly 7.04). And Clarke plans to take the tread trend beyond his classes at New York City’s Equinox Fitness Clubs. Workout programs are as fashionable and just as fleeting as hard bodies, and wannabes are always looking to the next new Tae-Bo to stay pumped.
