For Americans opposing the presidency of Donald Trump and unsure how best to channel their anger about his pledges to scrap Obamacare, limit womens reproductive rights or the proposed travel ban from Muslim-majority countries, there is now a solution.

A San Francisco organisationlaunched anti-Trump aerobics to mark 100 Days of the real estate moguls presidency.

The hour-long class included an aerobics routine devised from some of Mr Trumps most common gestures and manners and organises said it would tackle the anxiety of state change through embodied protest.

A video of the class has now been shared by non-profit news outlet Mother Jones who described the scene which involved class members wearing Democrat blue sweatbands and neck ties signature of the President himself.

Moves included participants pairing up and using their red ties against each other while shouting: Dont build a wall. Other movements included lunges to the side complete with red tie.

Commonplace for exercise classes, the instructor also shouted out motivational, encouraging messages for class members to repeat back to her. However, naturally these ones were more along the anti-Trump, political lines and included: Dont buy Ivankas shoes!, Dont read his tweets and F*** Mar-a-Lago!

One participant told Mother Jones: This is a wonderful example of bringing levity and community to the resistance.

The class was organised by 100 Days of Action which organised a hundred day plan to counteract the Presidents first 100 days in office. In addition to the exercise class, volunteers knitted caps for the science marks, held a Black Lives Matter film night to mark Black History Month in February and a dance party to music and DJs from the seven countries affected by Mr Trumps travel ban.
