Five Fitness Trends I Won't Try
ONE // Hot Yoga
No way. I have issues with yoga anyways - but stick me in a room that feels like Hell has made its way to earth? & then you want me to put my body in weird positions? Why? So I can smell the sweat on me in places I shouldn't have my nose near? No thank you.
TWO // Cross Fit

| Looks like tons of fun |
I know this is going to hit a nerve with a lot of people. But nope. You'll never see me in a cross fit gym. Nothing against it - I just know I'll never be able to do it because of my bicep tendon. I will never climb a rope - I will never lift weights repeatedly over my head in big bulks - I will never do 1,000 push ups. My arm just wont let me do all this work... not to mention my knees? You'll never see me attempting to jump on a big box. Guaranteed. I know my clutzy limits.
THREE // Paleo
All the meat!!! NOOOOOO!!! Not this vegetarian girl. I just don't get it. I get limiting carbs but the restrictions on this diet plan seem a little crazy to me. I'm sure a lot of people who eat meat think the same thing about the way I eat... but to each his own... & my own ain't Paleo.
FOUR // Pole Class
First, can we just talk about how wrong this picture is above. #1 - the heels. Who wears heels to a work out session, unless you're the chic from Jurassic World who runs from T-Rex's for hours in them? ... & #2 - "Why hello stranger. Let me stand across from you & stand in seductive poses & share this pole with you".... WHAT IS HAPPENING TO WORKOUTS? ... & again, there's the whole upper body thing for me - ain't no way on the face of this earth I'm turning myself upside down on a tiny pole without breaking my arm... or bringing the roof down.
FIVE // Underwear Runs
I see more & more of these popping up. & granted, if I had the bodies of some of these people, I would probably think twice about choosing this as a NO... but I have my body... & no one wants to see it running in just my underwear. Oh mercy no. Just imagine a slow motion camera & ripples through a lake... basically how I would look running in something like this. Now, if I could wear long underwear from the hillbilly days, then I'm all in.
| That guy... yep... my style |
What is the latest trends you're seeing that you're saying
NO WAY!?
I can't stop laughing... breathe... OK.
ReplyDeleteI can't do some of that because of my stupid elbow. But some of it is just plain dumb. The pole thing? IF you decided grinding around a pole was for you, how could you share that with some stranger? Yikes.
ohhhhhh.... can you even imagine. I guess you have a sense of boldness anyways if you're taking that kind of class. But no. Just no.
DeleteThis is hilarious! I love the Cross Fit photo, I have avoided trying it for the same reason!
ReplyDelete....It scares me.... :)
DeleteI have actually always wanted to try hot yoga because I am not a fan of regular yoga and I know that'd would make me sweat so I'd feel like I was getting a good workout in. Underwear run...no thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat was of course my sisters comment above^.
ReplyDeleteI of course had no idea that hot yoga was performed in a stinkin hot room!
I have no desire to do Cross fit anyway. So you can lift a million pounds over your head? So what..lol. But then again people could say the same of running. You ran 13.1 miles? So what. To each there own I guess..lol
Yup... The pole dancing made my list too. I just don't get it with the half naked people in high heels... Just why...
ReplyDeletelol. pole dancing is not seductive when done as an actual workout. i did it years ago and it is a crazy hard workout. i guess it's hard to know when you haven't done a class and you only have strippers for reference ;)
ReplyDeletePole dancing - sounds like an injury waiting to happen - one that I wouldn't want to explain to my family, friends, co-workers, or coach. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI do good standing in heels, much less throwing my body IN HEELS around a small pole.
DeleteLOL...underwear runs. I didn't know that was a thing. Count me out.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on all of these! I actually never even thought of the issues with a pole class until you mentioned it--ha ha!!!
ReplyDeleteHadn't heard of underwear runs. Definitely does not appeal to me. Pole dancing was on my list too. No way.
ReplyDeleteGreat SANE minds think alike :)
DeleteBwahahaha! I am dying with this post. lol especially the pole dancing part.
ReplyDeleteSo agree with you on all-- and although I tried Crossfit for a few weeks, I decided after trying it the second time it is NOT for me. And the underwear run... yikes!
Oh NO NO NO to the undie runs. Just NOPE. Same with Crossfit. And that pole dancing picture CRACKED ME UP. Sooo much awkward!
ReplyDeleteHow could I forget underwear runs? Oh hell no!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried crossfit, but I would at least try it.
I have tried Paleo. I am not vegetarian, but I do eat vegetarian a lot. At its heart, Paleo isn't about all the meat. It's about whole foods. One of the things I regularly eat that isn't Paleo is legumes - like I said, I do eat vegetarian a lot, even though I'm not vegetarian.
You're right, we've all got to find what works for us.
Especially when it comes to food - to each his own. Heck, my husband wont touch anything white... a whole other crazy meal plan :)
DeleteI"ve been doing yoga for 18 years. But no hot yoga for me! And no naked yoga either! Or underwear runs...
ReplyDeleteYep... all clothes... all the time :)
DeleteI'm with you on all of the above!! Who wants to run in their underwear? Come on! What is fun about that?
ReplyDeleteUmm underwear runs? No no and no. Crossfit.. maybe, Hot yoga.. no I hate being hot, why do it on purpose!
ReplyDeletePaleo.. tried it, I missed carbs too much and Pole dancing? Nope I got a job I don't need to learn another for exercise ;)
haha... she works hard for the money just started signing in my head :)
DeleteThe comment under the underwear runs "oh mercy no" just made me lol! Love it and I would be the very same way! Glad I found you through my friend, HoHo Runs's blog! :)
ReplyDeleteYippee... love new blog friends!
