I'm sorry, you seemed to be confused -- this is health and fitness. I think you want to take your complaints over to FPH, where somebody might care. =]

Eh, sally's post was health-related. It could even be related to overtraining, so it's not really off topic.

I yawn all the time, exercising or not. It is rather embaressing when your heartrate is way up there, you're sweating and grooving, yet you can't stop. Happens to me every class I take.

I suck at this fitness thing...
I haven't been on a walk since I posted of it before.
By the time I get around to it its too hot outside.
So instead I had a bowl of ice cream.

I think you're confused. This is the health and fitness thread. Not the health and fatness thread.

I've boxed before, Kickboxed, done Tae Kwon Do amonst other things.

Seriously go to a gym like sixpak said, you can't learn to box from a video.

Happens to me all the time. I always thought it was because I wasn't breathing properly or something.
