THE countdown is on for a Warrnambool aerobics combination ready to test itself on the world stage.

EKB Fitness and Aerobics Accelerate team members received their Australian uniforms at a presentation on Saturday.

They will fly to the Netherlands on Thursday for the world championships.

Coach Emma Bellman said her eight-member junior fitness teams preparation had been flawless.

I watched their nationals routine yesterday and got a mum to film their routine yesterday, she said.

They have improved since nationals in such a short amount of time.

Making finals (at worlds) is reasonable.

Bellman said the teenage team had worked diligently fine-tuning its routine and building its fitness base. Every day except Wednesdays theyve had some sort of training, she said.
