Lots of stars are set to follow Philipp Jelinek. Professional dancer Conny Kreuter starts things off: In the first gymnastics lesson there is a lot of winking and smiling.
Loyal ORF viewers already know them from “Dancing Stars”. Conny Kreuter is a professional dancer, chief choreographer of the TV dance competition and Philipp Jelinek’s first successor in the new format “Fit with the Stars”. You can tell from her teaching experience, she gives you an encouraging wink during the trickier exercise at the beginning (“We want to train the brain right away”). In the meantime, she is lovingly admonished (“It’s really good (. . .), no pain, no gain”) before she sympathetically acknowledges the sweating. Yes, she also starts to sweat, says Kreuter. The fellow gymnasts will think that it should be a pretty good mask.
You also really know the dancer. She quickly creates a short choreography from individual exercises (“One-two, one-two”), with every step she snaps along: “Look, you’re getting a groove.” And please pay attention to your posture: The diamond should be proud. Necklace should be worn on the chest, after all it wants to be shown. Fits the star in the title. And always smile, “things are getting much better.”
The target group seems well known to her. “Stopping is important,” she says sensitively, “at the box, at the grandchild or at the walker.” The repetitions are also done for the grandchild, like vice versa in the past, the bite for grandma: “Once more for the grandchild, once more for the other one Grandson.” Then you should praise yourself and pat your shoulders for it, first on the left, then on the right, “a bit of self-praise is necessary,” says Kreuter. Oh yes, and always smile, “even when it’s tiring”.
She ends the quarter hour with breathing exercises called pigeon scaring away (hand on the diaphragm and exhaling with gscht-gscht sounds), as her own grandfather has long known them. He is also part of the fit party (“Greetings to Tyrol”). And then the wheel of fortune is spun (arms go up in a big circle). Finally, Kreuter wishes you a nice day and that “you’ll be there again next time”. But then with ex-ski jumper Andi Goldberger.
