| Aww, Just a caution, how can anyone train seriously when they have music pumping ??? "A progressive course of aerobic choreography set to contemporary music that tones muscles, strengthens the heart and burns fat. The class is a jammed, packed hour of great music and aerobic kicking fun!" If anything you Albany sisters should hire a hall and train together to get the sisterhood together and of course invite other women but no music, no men and no liatards. Sorry to be the bringer of gloom. Salaams Hanif |

| [slm] ok let's face it, at home, absolutely nothing happens. At the gym, you feel productive with all the equiptment around you. Even running on a tredmill feels like you've done something. I bet each of us has at least two work out tapes at home. how much dust have they acquired? yeah..I know. Even if you did have a tredmill at home, nothin happens. It's just too much energy to take it out, or even to get on it. The tv becomes to look mighty tantalizing next to that big machine. Thus, a women's gym. oh and the ymca don't cut it anymore. ok that's all :) ~Tauhirah |

| Asalaam Alaikum, I've been to a lot of aerobics classes, and never once did i see a guy dare step foot in there! i think they'd be too embarrassed...and i agree, i have equipment at home that hasn't been touched bc i have no motivation to work out at home, i need to go to a gym for that. but more power to ya if you can do all that at home. |

| [slm] Not to sound too in the past but Sr. Saadia, where do u live in Albany? Actually do I know you personally??? To get to the topic... There's a YMCA right behind my house. It's near Masjid Al-Hidaya which is on 15th street. I used to go to it a little but b/c the women don't dress appropriately, I don't go anymore. I bought a video series called Tae-bo. SubhanAllah it's an awesome workout. It's a mix of martial arts, boxing, cardio, and one other thing. The instructor is Billy Blanks, 7 time World Martial Arts Champion :o:o He's really good and you get a good workout as well ;-D It tones up your body and you can actually see a four pack after a couple months ;) I recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a try.

| [slm] Bhaloo, the advanced tape if an hour long and it's a little difficult if you start it too early. It's recommended to do the basic for about a month a half to two months, then to start the advanced. The advanced tape is the best ;);-D Sr. Saadia, I don't know your sis, sofia, but Insha'Allah we'll meet someday ;) The best time to do the workout is after fajr, before anyone is up. It's the most private time and you really focus on the workout. Have fun with whatever you decide to do Insha'Allah :):D:):D [wlm] Betul |
