Get Some Exercise In-Flight With 'Airobics' on Turkish Air
Last week Shira Levine spent a few days getting her Turkish Delight on in Istanbul, Turkiye ("Turkey is a bird; Turkiye is the country".) But first, she had to fly there. Fortunately, Turkish Air cares about her in-flight health.
About an hour into the New York to Istanbul flight in our turquoise, upholstered 1980s vintage seats on Turkish Air, our private screening of "Confessions of a Shopaholic" was interrupted with an in-flight video exercise session dubbed "airobics." Seriously.
Featuring a similar vibe to the randomly quirky Dutch Mentos commercials, a man and woman demonstrated for passengers how to keep blood flowing and the body active for a long flight. The cheery duo shared tips by doing a series of small foot, leg, neck, head, arm and hand exercises all while sitting down in their seats. (Nearly the entire flight participated in the activities too -- including the enormous Turkish man wearing a swine flu mask who ultimately snored the remainder of the flight.)
Just look at that image we cheekily snapped to give a feel for how seriously silly yet health consciously sensible the Turks are for having the nerve to interrupt an oh-so-adorable Isla Fisher scene, all to prevent blood clotting, strokes or other ailments due to long flights. The video hosted by Hillside City Club in Fethiye, Turkiye is completely earnest, and of course that much more funny after our prescribed two Bloody Mary's.
Shira Levine's trip to Turkey was made possible by the Turkish Culture and Tourist Office.
