Penny, if the fact that your clothes are too big now isn't motivation enough, then take a good look at yourself in a full-length mirror when you get out of
the shower. NOBODY (except weems, of course) thinks they look "perfect" when they are naked - but the more you tone up and/or lose weight, the
better you will feel about your appearance. Screw the health benefits of exercise (even though that should be a big motivator). Think about how you look
naked and you'll keep going to the gym.

I go because I get runner's high very easily. 30 minutes of hell for 10 minutes of high and 20-30 minutes of happiness is semi-worth it.
Plus now I belong to the school gym for free so I figure why not. Peepee, have you tried yoga? You might enjoy that more. <3 |

But yoga doesn't burn enough calories. What she should do is pilates combined with some other more active exercise. That really speeds up weight loss. Of
course, this is just what I have heard, because I have never tried to lose weight the healthy way.

Bulimia works on you though, Hobo.

If she wants to lose weight, she should do cardio AND weight-lifting. Muscle is great for raising metabolism.

She should do boot camp aerobics for fast results.
Course, since the gym is at work, she will be a messy puddle of sweat right there in front of co-workers. Nothing like seeing a sweaty asscrack outline on the sweatpants of people you work with.... |

Or black sweatpants. I don't know one woman in the class I take that wears shorts. Only the men wear them.

If she doesn't enjoy cardio, yoga is a great alternative, and yoga actually slims you up pretty quickly.

Yoga is all great and dandy until you let one fly during downward facing dog.

I started a thread not too long ago about that runner's high dealy survivor because it was happening to me after about 30 minutes and I didn't know
what the hell it was. It was like little pleasant brain zaps or something and all of a sudden, the pain of pushing that damn machine was gone and it was easy
peasy.
That was cool, but it hasn't happened lately. I think I need to push harder. Yeah X, what's up with the gym pants? You're right. Not one woman there wears shorts, and 90% of them are thin and in good shape so it's not like they're hiding anything. |

I think the answer is clear - they're too lazy to shave their legs! At least that's my reason...

I have no idea, peepee, and the reality is that it's the MEN who should be wearing the sweatpants.
Oooh, I think hobokitty is on to something. |

Oh God, no. No men should EVER wear sweatpants. Grody to the max.
