Men in aerobices classes- what are they thinking?

[casavant]

No. You're not cool. You're not "modern" or "open minded". Don't come out of there telling me what a great workout you got. Or how you could "really feel it working". You looked like a fairy, dancing and stepping around, throwing little girlie kicks and punches, and flailing your arms to some nineties techno pop shit. Go run some laps or jump on a treadmill, then hit the weights like a real man. You disgust me.

 

[supersizeme]

see...this is exactly why I squat and deadlift with arm floaties on...to avoid being "that guy."

 

[Citruscide]

I take it you mean GUYS in areobic classes... I don't doubt it is tiring... but to me, it is more BORING... I can't really do something if it is boring as hell... and to me... areobic classes are boring... and don't really accomplish anything I want....

[frorider6]

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I have taken a couple of "sport fitness" classes. I was dating the instructor at the time. Well, the class focused on sprints, balance and isometric exercises. If I'd tried to do everything, I'd have puked and died.

I will agree with you on those stupid dance type classes. But if you're ever feeling all manly like you can do anything, I know a class that'll leave you whimpering.

You can get better results faster, and not look like a little fairy cake, by hard cardio and weight training. It seems like a no brainer to me.

 

[WODIN]

I use to take Aerobic classes. My wife was teaching them and I got to see a lot of nice lyrcra covered booty. But then there were the really fat women in lycra tha would make me cry and think things "OH GOD THE HUMANITY"...

Well the secret's out now. Corn and I used to date.

 

[alexiarenee]

The least they can do is wear pants!
I hate when the guys wear those really short runner type shorts and everytime they kick you can see all the way up thier skinny pale legs.......

 

[casavant]

Fro:

I'm saying that the fruity dance classes are pussified and not worth a shit.

 

[WODIN]

*snicker* wodin did aerobics *chuckle*

Biatch! I saw that!

I'ma get your cat and shave that little pussy bald. Be closest you'll get to shaved pussy this year.

 

[casavant]

I have guys in my Cardio Kickboxing classes all the time-- I dont think anythings wrong with that- we dont do sissy moves.. like grape vines and stuff-- and the girls in the class always talk to them- you figure your getting almost an hour of cardio.. and you get to watch girls kick and stretch..

Well, I'd rather focus on a bar full of weight in the gym than a bunch of girls kicking and stretching. They can focus on my big, sweaty ass when I'm doing squats. If they're lucky, I'll let them come over and sniff a bulking fart.

*giggle* And Corn teaches *smirk*

 

[Peyote Killa]

I teach a classs like Fro was talking about, it's very intense and deals with stability, and plyometrics, and shit like that. If you take the class and push yourself to the limit, there is no way you could finish.
But I do hate teaching it, cuz of course nobody pushes themself they way they should.
But as a far as areobics go, like step and shit, and I would not reccomend that to any one with a specific body transformation goal in mind.

There's nothing wrong with some of the cardio classes -- it depends ENTIRELY on the particular class format AND on the instructor teaching them. Shitty instructors combined with shitty classes (or even good class + shitty instructor) = shitty, faggy-looking workout. Good instructor + good class = great workout.

I usually hit at least one boxing class a week and an occassional yoga or boot camp class. I supplement my weight training with the classes, so the argument that "I'd rather been lifting weight" doesn't really apply -- I've already lifted.

I'll tell ya what, since I've started cross training, my size and strength have gone up. As well as my general conditioning and energy.

I've got a background in South Korean Tae-Kwon-Do, boxing and Judo, so I just apply that training to the boxing classes (which my wife teaches). I think the key to getting the most out of the classes is catering it to your specific skill level and talents -- good teachers will tell you the same.

If you're not too pussy to try it, it can be a lot of fun -- fuck gruelling away on a treadmill. If you want to walk or run, go outside. A well-taught class will ALWAYS be way more interesting than a treadmill or other cardio equipment workout.

And Fro is right -- I used to have the same attitude about aerobic classes and look down on the guys in them -- until I tried them ... pretty humbling shit. Nine out of 10 tough guys wouldn't last a half-hour in the boxing class or a 1/4 hour in the boot camp class I take. And on my lifting days, I annihilate them in the weight room too -- funny shit.

I always get a kick out of watching the guys hover outside, looking in, afraid to come in for fear of making fools of themselves. It's just like guys that won't dance in a bar. If you've tried it and don't like it, fine. But don't assume that all guys that do it are pussies. The specific classes I take make me tougher, not weaker.

But again, it all boils down to the teacher and the class format.

 

[Peyote Killa]

The class that I teach is actually called Boot Camp, it's rough, and very freelance. I do what the class lets me, there is no coreography.

I used to teach a bodysculpting class, and too many of the women had such bad form I couldn't do it anymore. Being a trainer I was too concerned and kept telling them to see a trainer before taking a class like that, so that their form would be correct. Of course they did not, so I quit!

I always get a kick out of the pussies who would do a token aerobics workout instead of hitting it on cardio and in the weightroom like they've actually got a set of nuts.

 

[polarpixie]

I have yet to see a guy who actually looks anything resembling graceful while in an aerobics class. LOL!! No fail, their arms and legs will flail, and like a delayed knee-jerk reaction, they are always a step behind. I have seen this over and over since I was 18!

I love having them in there, it's so cute how they try so hard and they make the classes even more entertaining....I'm always very nice tho and I don't laugh out loud, in fact I will ususally tell them they did a great job and encourage them to come back and see us again!! (I wouldn't want to lose such their high entertainment value)


Nothing wrong with guys in the boxing classes tho. They are not to be made fun of.

 

[Longhorn85]

I have to admit I have been guilty of this. Yes, I took aerobics classes. A lot of them. But I think I have an excuse. I did it alongside my wife to encourage her to workout, and it worked. For what it is worth, we would lift weights together afterwards.

It got worse though, I became an aerobics instructor for a while. I met a lot of nice women, and it led to my eventually becoming a personal trainer, now I'm out of the aerobics biz.

 

[THeMaCHinE]

Yeah, I get a kick out of them too ... luckily I'm not one of them. Lifting is still my main form of self-annihilation, I'm just pointing out that not ALL forms of cardio classes are pussy. It depends on the class format and the instructor. Where you're at, it doesn't sound like you have quality in either.

Now go schlep back to the treadmill. Convince yourself that it will condition you for real-life situations. Maybe someday you'll get over your fears... lol.

Come bounce with me.

 

[THeMaCHinE]

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist


But you're still ignoring the bulk of my statement... some cardio classes are good. Some make you look faggy. Probably most of them suck, but not all. Acknowledge that at least.

Absolutely. I don't really despise all aerobic/ fat burning classes. I was a cheerleader my junior year of high school, just for the record. But I tend to be too reasonable on threads and sometimes that gets boring, so I had to play a little devil's advocate. Peace, brother.

im not hip on Cheerleading lang. but theres a gay refrence in here somewhere I know it...

what happened mom wouldn't let you play football

What are you getting at? Yoga is very fucking hard. Akward as hell at first, but great for keeping and increasing your flexibility. Suprisingly, there's a lot of strength involved in it too. I won't even get into how the breathing and meditation/mental strengthening skills improve your weightroom performance. You have to do a lot of modifications if you've got any size though. Wodin knows a lot more about i than I do.

A "chair" is a really basic move when a chick is sitting in the palm of your hand at arm's length above your head. You can figure it out.

I did cheerleading on a whim because I was going to be the mascot for shits and giggles, but I was too big for the suit. So they invited me to join the squad. The girls loved me.

Anyone see this movie?

I've never been more ashamed to be a John Travolta fan. However, I've also never been to an aerobics class in my life -- I credit the film with that.

 

[big4life]

I don't take arobic classes because I like to be able to walk out of the gym, not crawl.

Two points.

I wonder if you dance with women at clubs.

Many guys that say they don't like aerobics spend a lot of time peeking into the studio to see what the fuss is all about. Sounds like you're one of them.

 

[danielson]

only issue i have with aerobics is the music

its always some teeny bopper shit from what i can see <shudder>

 

[smallmovesal]

this is a tad off-topic, but at the women's gym i go to, there is this one chick who teaches aerobics and looks like she should be *in* the class, not teaching it.

she also screws up the counting for the poor women in her class... i always hear her saying, "oops, sorry ladies".
