Get Lit While You Get Fit: Senior Births ‘JiggAerobics’

If you have ever witnessed any of the dance performances during a field show put on by The Human Jukebox or if you’ve ever seen a gentleman standing close to 5’11 effortlessly dancing amongst the crowd on a Pretty Wednesday, chances are you’ve witnessed LaDonte Lotts in his natural habitat.
As a Senior Business Management and Therapeutic Recreation major from Houston Texas, Lotts has always had a love for dance.
“Dancing has been second nature to me. That’s how I grew up, that’s how I was able to relieve stress,” he shared.
With an athletic background originating in middle and high school, incorporating dance into a rigorous workout routine has become a lucrative and fulfilling endeavor for the upperclassman.
Birthed in 2015, JiggAerobics and the Get Right Experience created by Lotts, also known as Ayo Tae, has created newfound success and received rave reviews from students, faculty, staff, the Jaguar Nation and participants from all over Louisiana and across the country.
According to jiggaerobicsfitness.com, “JiggAerobics is a global lifestyle brand that fuses fitness, entertainment and culture into an exhilarating dance – fitness sensation!”
Lotts describes it as “anything you want it to be,” recalling how the movement all started with an idea.
“When you have an idea, take it and write it down just move with it. You never know what you can invent,” Lotts stated.
Almost two and a half years later, he has given birth to a fitness movement that is gaining momentum with each passing day.
Lotts shares the exact moment that he knew his idea was worth millions; the day he was featured in the Wall Street Journal. The American international daily newspaper published a news story featuring Lotts on November 18, 2017, bringing him even more accolades and success.
“I just like to have fun. I just like to make people happy. I just want to keep capitalizing and keep growing and learning,” shares Lotts.
Upon searching LaDonte Lotts on Youtube, one can witness a plethora of fast paced work out and dance routines featuring and led by an energetic Lotts as he travels to various high schools, colleges and fitness studios across the state, boasting the mantra, “Get Lit While You Get Fit.”
“When you come to a JiggAerobics class you should have the Get Right experience. You should be lit while you get fit. You should have fun, you shouldn’t be worried about anything,” expressed Lotts.
On June 2, Lotts along with SU alumna, Ellen the Nutritionist will be hosting the JiggAerobics Fitness Party. Composed of Two JiggAerobic sessions led by Lotts at The Water Campus on River Road, participants will also get the chance to participate in a social mixer and interact with various vendors.Tickets can be purchased at jiggaeroibcfitness.com.
“This is the best way to get fit, sweat, get the heart pumping and enjoy all in one. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Jiggaerobics!!!,” commented Toyia Charles-Comminey in a review on Facebook.
Lotts reveals that he hopes to take JiggAerobics to an international platform, ultimately achieving his goal of adding his fitness plan to school curriculums all across the globe.

“If you want to have a good day, follow Ayo Tae,” the senior states as he bursts into laughter.
