I couldn't figure out why he was wearing all the French gear, the author isn't french...! I presume it's a nod to the Frenchman, Claude Chappe, who invented Flag semaphore, the system he build it with. @fheisler, if you happened to see this, please let me know if I'm right! :)

Hm which gear was particularly French? I was just channeling 80s aerobics workout in the intro, or the style of the songs played in the video.

Your wristbands look like the French flag.

And the Netherlands flag, so…

'Murica is the only red, white, and blue!

...Actually they just happened to be the first cheap bands that came up on Amazon.

In the gif on your github, all the "workout" gear colours are blue white and red, the colours of the French flag. If it was a happenstance, maybe you can just say it was on purpose, so...er.. I don't need to tell my therapist I'm reading too much into everything again?
