Keep fit, 1980s style, free and large-print. Leotards, leg warmers, the living-room floor cleared, and Jane Fonda counting the beat.

About Keep Fit

In the 1980s, the living room became a gymnasium. Cassette decks thumped out hi-energy beats while millions pulled on shiny leotards, tugged up leg warmers and tied headbands tight before pressing play on a workout video. The craze ran from school sports halls to television breakfast slots, and spandex, neon and the grapevine step became the shared language of a decade that took its fitness, and its fashion, very seriously indeed.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last — the trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps — never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
