Proposed Exercise Songs: Mag-Exercise Tayo by Yoyoy Villame

The Macarena Danceo Sassy steps: The "Macarena" is done in 16 easy steps,

which involves a lot of criss-crossing of hands to differentparts of the body. The most groovy part of this dance move,though, is when you jump after you hear the phrase, "HeyMacarena!" It's like a victory jump after successfullyexecuting the move without entangling your limbs.

The Asereje Danceo Sassy steps: Shake your bon-bons to the chorus of this song

by shuffling your hands with palms down alternately. Slowlybring them upwards to your head by drawing small spirals inthe air, then end by briskly shaking your bent knees.

The Shake Body Dancer Danceo Sasy steps: Bring one of your legs forward, stretch out your

arms and shake your body, body, dancer, just like what thesong's chorus says.

The Shalala Lala Danceo Sassy steps: Hop from left to right with hands doing circular

motions at the side. Once you hear the clapping sound, clapyour hands thrice upwards as well, then slowly move yourarms in three counts to the right, then to the left.
