Albion did some pre-season training with a difference yesterday when they attended an aerobics class.

London instructor Tina Cawley put the first team squad through an hour-and-quarter workout to Latin rhythms and beats at the Sussex University gymnasium at Falmer.

Aerobics tones the body, improves flexibility and sheds a few pounds.

Some of the players thought it was a bit of fun but Ms Cawley was in no mood to tolerate slackers.

The players also had an added incentive to dance to the beat with boss Micky Adams looking on.

Another spectator said: "The players were okay when it came to some stretching but several of them seemed to lack a sense of rhythm!

"The instructor told off anyone who wasn't playing close attention to the exercise routine by saying 'excuse me, we're here to work'."
