Then again, most guys in a commercial gym are grunting and cursing to get attention, while they do a set of 3 half-range, flared elbow, neck-touching bench presses with two plates, like people are supposed to be impressed. And if someone's sitting on equipment for 5 minutes and won't let me work in, they'll find themselves laying on the floor pretty quickly. That's right up there with curling in the squat rack in terms of pet peeves for me. Also, cellphones, people! It's a gym, not a social club! Leave the damn phone in your car! Things like that make me incredibly glad my team owns a private, warehouse gym that we -- and only we -- train in.

She lost a lot of weight and got in amazing shape. I never asked her why she went to the ladies only gym, but it worked very well for her. I remember in college the student gym adopted a time window for women only. At first I was annoyed and found the policy discriminatory. I tried to understand the reasons why so many women did not want to work out in a coed gym. In addition to being bothered by guys trying to pick them up, men often grunt, curse and spit excessively. Some guys monopolize equipment and that makes it intimidating for many women. After this was pointed out to me, I was able to see the women's side. And then there's the guy at the gym who always has his chest puffed up and his arms stuck out like chicken wings-- women don't want to be around that. Good luck with your fitness goals, Joan!!!

Zumba was far more challenging than we anticipated. We couldn't keep the pace! We now have four Zumba dance videos and make that our primary heart-lung health workout. ~~Suzy~~

I used to have a boyfriend that I worked out with all the time. AT that point we were doing Nautilus? I enjoyed working out with him as we were at the same mid set. Hard to find. I dont want to say I see a difference from yesterday, but I swear I do! lol Lets see in a week : ) joan*

This was an enormous challenge for me in the beginning as yoga is so slow and bodybuilding training is so aggressive. I still have to slow my mind down sometimes. When you have a great body, you're going to get attention no matter where you go or what you wear. It's like an unspoken resume (lol)! Can't wait to see the pics. I had fallen off the wagon for a bit; hanging out, not training, drinking and then I "decided" to put an end to the madness. I have to say though that muscle memory is the bomb! My body is looking better -- leaner then ever. However, I am doing the work -- cardio is king baby!

I have always been a lover of the outdoors, I walk, bike and hike. I never want to build to the point I look manly, all cut up. So I dont use any heavy weights. I like a feminine shape. One reason I stick with yoga. Im just thinking a little more tone and a lil more muscle. Hard for me to put on weight, so its kinda a challenge. joan*

We have the small, medium and large balance and stretch balls, yoga straps and blocks, and some exercise stretch tubes also. You look sinuous and strong, a beach and surfing body. Mahalo nui! ~~ZZ~~
