Faramir -> I Love Aerobics (6/27/2005 5:38:33 PM)

I love my aerobics class. I do strength training the rest of the week, but Mondays I go to a class. I love it because: 1) It's a great workout. I'm just shattered right now. 2) I'm almost always the only man in the class. I kinda like it - all the ladies and girls kinda fuss over me - I like the attention. 3) The instructor mentioned to me privately that the class really stepped up in effort level when I joined - apparently the ladies in the class don't want to wimp out in front of me/a man. It is an interesting parrallel to something I saw at CORTRAMID (career training for Naval Midshipmen). That summer I had eight different platoons, the last two mixed platoons with female midshipmen. In the previous six platoons we would have a bunch of non-hackers ask for "training time outs" because they were scared of soemthing, it hurt, they were tired - blah blah blah. You would have four or five always crap out on rappelling. When we had girls in the unit, not a single boy crapped out. Anyway - hooray for aerobics!!
