I don't think there's any real reason to call people who do yoga "yoga nuts".

I want to try boxing too-talk about getting the aggression out! But I love yoga too. There is nothing like it. Don't hate us yoga nuts- you have to give it a try one day! Once you get into it, you'll totally understand. =)

PastaQueen]]> Amy & bazu - I didn't mean the term "yoga nuts" in a derogative way. I would classify myself as a "Pilates nut" and probably a "health nut" too. And I like nuts a lot, especially cashews. I'll edit the entry with a footnote about this.

The class was so absolutely packed that you couldn't really throw a true punch because you'd end up giving the person in front of you a concusion. I can totally see how it would have been fun tho, with a 3rd of the people that were in there.

And I can't think of a better reason for calling yoga nuts "yoga nuts" than wanting to call those nuts "yoga nuts". :-D

Debbie]]> I feel my middle child peacemaker status coming out here. Can I mediate a truce on the "yoga nuts" issue so we can move on?

Jennette, I think it's really great that you were able to get through the class without feeling exhausted. It shows how far you've come.

Vamp]]> I used to take a water kickboxing class. Hey now, don't laugh! It was really challenging and easy on the joints and knees. Plus, if deadly ninjas ever attacked me underwater I'd be able to kick some serious ninja butt. ^_^

I love it! Glad you did well your first time around in a group kickboxing class.

Rosemary Grace]]> Ooooh, kicky stuff! I did karate for a couple of years, and just took a "turbo cardio kick" class at my gym, we got to hit and kick standing punchbags! So fun. I also plant my body, which is how we did it in karate too. I'm terrible at the bouncy on the toes "stance" for this style. Possibly also reluctant to bounce because then I feel my butt bouncing around too, it didn't have the benefit of the two maximum strength sports bras trussing my upper bouncy bits.

You have inspired me to give South Beach a try, my husband and I are hitting Phase One on Saturday. Any tips for starting out with it?

So glad to hear you enjoyed the class and made it through. Curious to hear how your body is feeling the day after your new moves??

She loved it so much that she taught kickboxing as "girl empowerment" classes while she did volunteer work in Chile. During that time, she looked pretty smoking hot, too. Go, PastaQueen. Rawwwrrr!!!

Chris H]]> I did my first combat class this week too, and I think I was the most uncoordinated one there, and felt like a twit, but I loved it. It is fun!

Sara]]> We like health nuts, and cashews, and pistachios...randomly stumbled onto your blog (as it tends to go with blogging) and just wanted to say good luck and good work! You are on the right track! Cheers from the health nut gang over at www.marksdailyapple.com

I stumbled on your blog a few days ago and I have turned into a fan. I even emailed your URL to several friends under the subject "Best weight loss blog ever"

Way to go on the kickboxing thing. I started with kickboxing-aerobics, to actual kickboxing with sparring and now I am a Tae Kwon Do nut. I confess, I just like kicking ass.

Also a programmer and working to lose weight,
Zoe

Les]]> You know, I've always wanted to go to the yoga, aerobics, and kickboxing classes at the gym, but I'm to...umm...shy, I guess, to be the only guy in the classes. I'm gonna go soon though.

PastaQueen]]> Vamp - Underwater ninjas are by far the most deadly of the ninja family.

aj - I felt pretty good after class. I had a tiny bit of soreness in my sides (obliques?) but nothing serious. I had a bit of pain in my back right after class, so I think I need to watch my form to make sure I'm not twisting strangely or not twisting when I'm supposed to.

Les - I noticed there was only 1 guy in our class of probably 25 people. I felt bad for him because I remember once taking a math test as part of a regional competition and being the only girl there. I hope he keeps coming though! We don't have cooties...as far as I know.
