Heatmiser 0 #26 January 15, 2010 Quote Quote There is a man who is almost always in my Zumba class. I think he honestly enjoys the workout - its a great cardio workout. I don't think he's gay or there to pick up women or watch us shake our booties. Why do you have to play it off as anything? If you want to join the class, join the class and enjoy the workout. He just wants to find a place he feels comfortable at. So he can wear his mantard Like this?What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience.

skittles_of_SDC 0 #31 January 16, 2010 Quote Quote At my gym, a lot of guys go to the spinning classes, but not to the aerobic type classes. I don't understand why. Ego, whatever. Break the mold. Go to the classes. Have fun. Many guys do the spinning classes because they bike on the weekend, but need to train during the week after work. I have done the aerobic classes. I quit because of the choreography. After a while, it seemed like going to a bar and doing line dancing. I regularly do the yoga classes because I need the flexibility and the workout is harder than weight lifting for me. Nobody in the classes seems to be doing it for social reasons. Any after-class conversation involve improving on the goals of the classes. That said, years ago, an older guy told me, "If the grandmas like you, they will put in a good word for you with the younger women." Instant acceptance. Works in any venue. I like the sound of that. I have also been considering doing the yoga classes. I have no flexibility. It would be nice to change that to prevent injury. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skittles_of_SDC 0 #32 January 16, 2010 do yoga and pilates both emphasize stretching equally or does one emphasize it more? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #33 January 16, 2010 Quote do yoga and pilates both emphasize stretching equally or does one emphasize it more? It depends on the types of Yoga or Pilates, there are different style. Why not Try Yogalaties (i shit you not, it's real)You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

skittles_of_SDC 0 #34 January 16, 2010 I totally pussed out today. I was gonna go to the kickboxing class but the group started to build outside the studio and it was ALL women. I got freaked and skipped. In the end it was like 20:1 women to men. By which I mean there were 20 women and 1 man. I decided I'm going to suck it up and go to it next weekend. (mainly cause there were 2 hot chicks, one my age and one in like her late 20's (bet she'd be a good ride)) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skittles_of_SDC 0 #35 January 16, 2010 Oh and my gym doesn't have yogalaties but I'll look into what types each of them are. Thanks for that bit of info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
