SIBU: Aerobic dancing has remained popular as an exercise to get the heart pumping since it was introduced here over two decades ago.

It is still relevant as a cardiac exercise if the response to the new aerobic class at Solid Gym in Tapang Timur Road here is any indication.

Close to 25 women members of the gym joined the inaugural class on Oct 16.

The number soared to 30 when the subsequent class was held on Oct 18.

Gym owner Lau Kah Yii said gym members of the fairer sex had `demanded for an aerobic class, arguing that most equipment at the gym suited their masculine counterparts.

The perceptible inequalities in the equipment available at my gym had caused dissatisfaction among women members, Lau told The Borneo Post in a recent interview.

He said: Its true. Most equipment is meant for building muscles, though there is no lack of equipment for cardiac exercises like the treadmill.
