Aerobics Class

Went to aerobics this evening and a lady said it was the first time she had seen 6 men in an aerobics class.
She said it is normally 1 or 2.
Surely that can not be right?.

No man has been brave enough to go to my Zumba Gold class Frank

HUNTERF Thu 28-Mar-13 22:23:21

I have tried Zumba and it does not suit me.
I am not bothered about it being mainly women.
2 men go to Zumba at my centre.

Do you mean morally right or statistically right, Frank? confused

ginny Thu 28-Mar-13 22:30:48

Have I just slipped into a time warp ?

HUNTERF Thu 28-Mar-13 22:44:14

Zumba itself does not suit me.
I was told by some women who also attend the Bums and Tums class some of the women were asking why I had not returned to the Zumba class.

Morally indefensible, I should say Ana

Orca/gracesmum grin off for some zzzzz's moonmoon

No Bums and Tums today.
The centre is closed.
I notice the Ladies only gym is having an open day.

Several courses of action:
Make a placard and protest,
Gatecrash the 'taster' classes,
Do nothing.......smile

I have no objection to the ladies gyms as long as I am not subsidising them.
The council leisure centre's always make a loss which has to come from the council tax payers and I am one of them and I am in a high council tax band.

My granddaughters are coming soon anyway.

I'm a little worrried in case Franks new grandchild turns out to be a girl. He will have to have strong words with his family as it may be odd to have so few males in a family.

HUNTERF Fri 29-Mar-13 09:32:03

ginny

The youngest male in our family in blood relative terms is 55.
I had 2 daughters and I have got 3 granddaughters.
My 2 daughters have said they will not go to any classes which do not admit men.
The family name will have gone in 60 years time.

"Breastfeeding for Beginners" would be interesting then.

Not to mention post-natal exercise classes phoenix.

Frank you could always ask one of your granddaughters to take your family name when she gets married, or when she reaches the age of 18 or 21. My niece did this but as she had a daughter who has said she is not interested in becoming a mother it looks like the family name may die out (my nephew also having had 2 daughters who want to concentrate on a career rather than having a family).
