Famed fitness guru Richard Simmons is featured in a new airline safety video for Air New Zealand where the sparkly fitness trainer, all decked out in his standard shorty shorts work-out wear, instructs the passengers aboard Air New Zealand on flying safety procedures. Yeah, you kinda just have to see it to believe it.
American fitness guru Richard Simmons gets flight attendants dancing down the aisle in the latest in-flight safety video by Air New Zealand. The camp workout God, dressed in a sequinned vest and tiny shorts, turns the regulation safety precautions before take-off into an exercise class in the quirky clip, called Fit to Fly. Surrounded by airline staff dressed in colourful Lycra, fluorescent leg warmers and sweat bands, he tells passengers: ‘In the next three minutes we’re going to work hard, work out and get you fit to fly.’ As 80s Yazz hit The Only Way Is Up pumps out, the fitness fanatic calls out instructions on how flyers can get rid themselves of bingo wings and get fit while in the air. Simmons turns the act of stowing luggage into a warm-up exercise. ‘Stretch and slide, yeah! You’re a giraffe,’ he exclaims. To inflate your life jacket, in the event of a sea landing, Simmons instructs passengers to ‘blow and blow and blow’. He adds: ‘Yeah, you’re pumping it up.’ Air New Zealand general manager of marketing and communications Mike Tod has defended the light-hearted nature of the safety briefing video, and claims it will get passengers ‘sitting up and taking notice’. ‘Simmons’s fitness moves will definitely ensure that all eyes are on the safety briefing,’ said Tod … The new Fit to Fly safety video goes live today onboard Air New Zealand’s narrowbody aircraft fleet which fly around New Zealand and short-haul routes. It will roll out on the airline’s widebody aircraft including flights from London from 1 May.
This has GOT to be the best thing ever. I fly so much, I honestly do not pay attention to the flight safety videos anymore … but if this crazy clip came on, I would deffo perk up and pay attention. This is genius! And now I have a fun reason to want to fly Air New Zealand to New Zealand ;)
