Twerking has been around for 20 years, but lately it has turned into a hype. Now it turns out that twerking is also healthy and Les Mills decides to include it in one of their classes.

Say what?
The performance of twerking Miley Cyrus at the MTV VMAs caused quite a stir. Les Mills, the developer of several sports programs, has had several requests for a lesson that incorporates the 'twerking moves'.

Les Mills takes advantage of hype with love. Twerk moves will be incorporated into the existing BodyJam classes. It is even being considered to change the name to Twerkout. Les Mills has researched the phenomenon of twerking. According to them, it is also healthy:you burn 530 calories per 55 minutes and if you twerk regularly, your pelvis will become as much as 8 percent stronger.
