Re: Health and Fitness Thread
Okay, at the end of my yoga class, the instructor goes like "And now we're going to put our hands together like this, turn to each other, bow and say 'Namaste', which means 'May the Divine Light in me recognize the Divine Light in you'..." or something to that effect, right?
And my friend turns to me and goes like "Is she serious?!"
And then she went on a rant about about exoticizing and cultural appropriation.
Ahahahhaha.  I love my friends. 
But also, to keep this relevant, I like yoga.
EDIT: Oh, and I reacted similarly when my bellydance instructor last year said something like "Good... and you have to keep yourself covered up, 'cause you know what happens in Muslim countries when you don't? They cut off your hands!"

 Wow, so dumb. But at least she was attempting to make a joke.
My bellydance instructor was being serious.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
I add another push up everyday. I can now do 43 pushups in one go.
Note: It may not sound like a lot, but don't make fun of me, I have a lot of fat to carry.

No way, that's incredible. I know a lot of people who can't do a single freaking push up. The entrance requirement to get into basic training with the Canadian Forces is 19 hahah. So you could be like, special forces

My brothers taught me the 'proper' way of push ups, so I guess they're 'real'.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
Masha'Allah. I wish I could. I've NEVER been able to do one. Maybe thats why my arms look the way they do.
But I've been working out lately. Alh, feels good to sweat. I missed it.

yeh, thats why we serve pancake with maple syrup at the border. duh.
i totally hate the lagging period in btwn getting-used-to a healthy habit. so after a lot of scolding from my mother for gaining a lot of weight lately (  ) I started working out again about a month ago lol i enjoyed doing 15 minutes ab workout daily (A KILLER  ) OR atleast 40 sit ups daily with conjunction of weekly swimming lessons on sundays.
it was going smoothly until i HIT the boredom stage. booooooooooooom.
then my priority list changed. working out and healthy eating agenda totally got bashed by my new lowe to eat muffins/cookies all day..
now, i believe i can work out again.
starting tonight, i'll stick to my old regime, 15 min ab workout, atleast 2 spin classes, swimming on sundays, it shall be sufficient to prevent the new layer of fat from forming..bwahhahhahah
