Am I Gay For This?

[Nelson Montana]

While on vacation, my girlfriend forced me into taking a Pilates class with her. Okay, whatever. Let em tell ya...it was a workout! A combination of resistance training, stretching and isometrics and cardio.

I'm not saying Pilates will transform your physiuqe and build muscle like hard core weight training, but as an alternative now and then that's still a tough workout without beating your body up too much (especially for us "older" guys), give it a try! You might be surprised.

That stuff is no joke Nelson. Some of the core work in those classes are brutal!!!!

Think yoga moves with resistance cables. Not so easy.

 

[EZ_E]

Not at all Nelson...

I used to take yoga all the time when my schedule allowed it, and I'd take pilates if I could fit it in......any uneducated, going-to-McDonald's-after-"training"-jackass can make all the "gay" comments he wants...

It is obvious to me that you are a closet homosexual

 

[gatemoney]

LMAO!
im glad you guys said it first.
I always tell ppl yoga IS the most physically demanding thing I've ever tried!

Watched on TV a while back a special on how some football programs are using it in training sessions usually the day before heavy lifting....even interviewed a handfull of players saying taking it in the off season helps to keep them in good condition for next season to stay ahead of the younguns coming in.

I would watch some clips and do at home but not pay for or do in public gym

legit pilates or yoga will wipe you out .. but gotta find the right class that is challenging, not some old folks class.. used to go to a class at my old gym, it involved a lot of upper body work... headstands, frog poses, etc. the veins were popping out of my arms after the workouts. its no joke BUT gotta have the right instructor.. i've been to classes where it was a waste of 1 hour

never listen to a hater

Yoga yes, but Pilates uses a specific apparatus -- not unlike that CHuck Norris slidy thingamajig.

At first, I thought it was bullshit but as Steve said, with the right instructor, it's bitch. I'd say after a couple of classes you could probably replicate the moves with cables and weights, though it's a better workout when you're straining to do something that other people are doing and don't want to look like a wuss for being the first one to quit!

Lets cut to the chase, you guys take pilates and yoga for the ladies in the class....which by default means you are not gay.

Nothing gay about doing pilates or yoga or even Zumba if that's what floats your boat and helps you with whatever your goal is.

Unless you spend the time in class checking out other guys junk, then that would be a bit gay

No if you were lucky then you should have enjoyed some nice eye candy. I would advise all single guys to venture into the womens classes. I would say your gay if you dont want to watch that.
