Scary Aerobics Women

[primsong]

My daughters and I not only signed up for bellydance (good fun) but also a class dubbed 'dance-n-fit' where they claimed all levels of fitness were welcome and we'd just be moving around to music. Sounded about right for us in the 'less than fit' stage we're in. We got as far as the door. False advertising! The room was filled with Grim Spandex Women - you know the kind... not a smile or welcoming face in the lot, the music was pounding away and the teacher was a tiny, muscular asian lady shouting into a microphone "More! More! More! Turn! Turn! Now Left! Left!" etc. She didn't look too friendly either.

We debated a moment - after all, we DID pay for this thing - then went back to our car. I'd rather have dental work than go into a pack of spandex hyenas, sorry, even if we do need the exercise. We went to a park instead and had a very nice, long hike to make up for chickening out. Kudos to you who can brave such trials.

OMG! It a situation like that... all you can do is throw a breadstick into the middle of the room, and while they pounce on it--run for your life!

A park full of fresh air and a stimulating walk is better for you anyway.
