If a bell is a cup before it's struck,
what is a wire before the body search?

The gym showed the Clash's Rock the casbah video...forgot that it had a (hassitic?) jew dancing with an arab throughout. Saw the short-haired potentially military guys eying the screen.

It seems 6:30 am Wed is when all the sexy people arrive in Rosslyn Golds. They must have heard I was there. I hate yoga, as you never see anyone fit doing it and stretching isn't exercise...but put a fit tan girl barefoot on a mat in a precarious pose...with her legs all stretched out like that, and I just wanna ask her
say baby do you wanna lay down with me?
Say baby do you wanna lay down by my side
say baby do you wanna lay down with me?
Say baby? b-b-b-b-b-b-b...

Weighed in at 138 and 12.5-13% body fat. Down from 146 15% body fat.

"I hate yoga, as you never see anyone fit doing it and stretching isn't exercise"

Actually, I've started taking a class. I don't like it very much, but I think it's good for me. With all my intense race training, I needed to take at least one day easy -- I take the yoga class as an enforced hour of stretching.

As for intensity, no, it's absolutely not a hard work out (and anyone who says it is is likely either very advanced, or very out of shape). But there are some moves that develop strength. For example, we had to hold a headstand for about 3 minutes a few weeks ago -- that was a fairly good workout for my core. We also hold lunges, etc for long periods of time.

So, I think it has its place as part of a workout plan (and there are people who are fit who use it for that purpose).

I should stretch more than I do as well, granted, but yoga is just...hokey. I think that girl in class, maybe you, and Sting are the only people who can get away with it.

Actually my old boxing coach was doing something called power yoga which apparently kicks major atheletic ass...but why investigate when I can remain ignorant and mock!?

"yoga is just...hokey"

Agreed. At the beginning of each class, we're supposed to "dedicate our practice" to something -- I dedicate it to not cracking up.

I'd have a lot more respect for yoga if its practitioners didn't take it so seriously.

yes, power yoga, ashtanga yoga, or vinyasa yoga, depending on where you go and where they got certified, *will* kick your ass. I'd be happy to have a contest ;-)

Those damn acidic jews! I heard they can spit fiery venom into your eyes from a distance of 50 feet! Then there are the ninjews...

Thanks for making me remember that song.

I always found it real distracting when a pretty young girl would be on the ad/abductor machine. It made it hard to concentrate.
