Switching over to the all women's gym keeps me going and so does my friend because she goes there too. Anyway, I hope you lose the weight that you want, iA  . |
Ya, I did kickboxing in undergrad and it was mostly girls and that really helped reach my goal. It was mostly girls in the class which I like. The occassional guy would come try but they always looked pretty silly (it's funny, most of them can't even throw a proper punch). I don't like working out with men around though. I'm a less self conscious and I feel the sisterhood, as cheezy as that may be. I also noticed that spinning has mostly (or all?) women. Actually, unless there's a competetion like in a sports like basketball or soccer, I hardly find men in those group workouts and I'm talking about at the university so it's really open to everyone. That's interesting.
And congrats bruinrab, must be exciting!!!
