Fourteen of the teams were from Perak, six teams each were from Kedah and Penang, while Perlis, Selangor and Pahang were represented by one team each.

They were dressed in colourful outfits. Six participants from each team were required to perform four sets of aerobics exercise for approximately 30 minutes each, under the guidance of different aerobics instructors.

The aerobics marathon lasted two hours. Participants were given a few minutes break between each session.

The challenge was meant to test the endurance of the participating teams, with winners selected based mainly on their fitness level and their ability to follow the instructors' movements.

Datin Zainab Mohd Zainal Abidin, wife of Ipoh mayor Datuk Roshidi Hashim, handed the prizes to the top 10 teams.

The top team, Fire, from Penang received RM800. Nine other teams also received prizes.

The competition was held in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of Ipoh as a city.
