Girls, Do you prefer working out alone or in group style classes?

[Anonymous]

[msmissydc]

Depends what I do I need both. I prefer group style classes but especially for dancing I need some time allone too, to train on my own what I learned in class. Atm our class is really small and only with friends so its not tuat much different but still prefer to have both.

[Asker]

What other group classes have you done other than dancing? Any work out style classes?

[msmissydc]

I did all kinds of work out classes before covid in gym. It was allways changing nothing more than for a few weeks. It went from yoga over self bodyweight exercises to small dumbbell courses.

[Asker]

Have you ever done any kickboxing?

[msmissydc]

No never done any kind of martial arts.

[ZS007]

I just started working out. I tried the machines and my friend also told me let's try a class I'll be fun. Well it wasn't fun 😭 It felt like the instructor was f bullying me not being fit. So final answer alone with machines.

[Changiis07]

It depends what I'm working out on. Like for dancing workouts I prefer group or yoga as well. When toning I prefer alone

[Asker]

Yoga pants are hot on girls! Do you like guys wearing yoga pants?

[Changiis07]

lol yes

[Asker]

What do you like about yoga pants on guys?

[Changiis07]

I hate yoga pants on guys. I like when they wear regular shorts. Forgive me if this offends anyone but it looks ugly on men

[Asker]

Why do you think they look ugly? What if they have a nice butt?

[Changiis07]

it looks weird when guys wear anything too tight. We can tell when you're fit, you don't have to wear something so tight to show it off

[Asker]

Is it bad if you can see outline of our junk?

[Changiis07]

It's not too bad but I don't care to see it. It's not what's attractive to me. I care that he treats me well, the physical will be gone later

[northerngal]

I prefer solo workouts. I do a lot of cardio by running and biking. Both solo activities. My weight training I do at home. Gyms are just a hassle.

[Asker]

Have you ever tried any group classes?

[northerngal]

Yes. Yoga, spinning and aerobics... not my thing.

[Asker]

I just tried a yoga class, I was the only guy in it and most of the women were all 50+ lol they were all so much more flexible than me

[northerngal]

Remember the women are there to workout and relax. Be careful or you may become the class creep lol

[Asker]

Haha I didn’t! I was too busy trying to copy the instructors pose! She was going too fast for me.

I’ve taken a self defense martial art class with some of those older women and they can be brutal!

[1GoldTwins]

I like both. In group is fun because you get to see others interested in what you do, but alone you feel fulfilled too because 'Ya! I did this! Just me!'

[Asker]

Have you tried any martial arts classes?

[1GoldTwins]

Yes. This convo isn't gonna go in the direction of kick in the dick or is it?

[sassygirl13]

Class.
Higher intensity in short time works better to shape up.

[Asker]

have you ever taken any type of kickboxing or martial arts class?

[sassygirl13]

I would love to try but haven't so far

[Asker]

I'm taking Krav Maga and I didn't realize how brutal it can be, I got my ass kicked by a woman like 3x my age last week lol

[sassygirl13]

At least you have started.
I want to kick ass too lol

[Asker]

haha yeah its self defense based so anything goes, she got me with a hard knee in the groin

[Blackcosmo]

I'm too embarrassed to work out with people so I'd rather do it alone.

[XXblack88]

I prefer working out by myself unless it's something I've never done before and then I'll only workout in a group until I get the hang of it.

[Sour-rose]

Alone. Fk off, I had protein and eggs, stay away from me

[Boldy_Erin]

I take a yoga class twice a week with 10 other woman

[Asker]

would it be weird if a young guy joined the class?

[SaraSmithishere]

Neither. I'd rather work out with a trainer. But if that's not an option, solo all the way

[Asker]

Yeah I like working with a trainer, have you ever taken any type of kickboxing or like a martial arts class?

[SaraSmithishere]

Nope!

[Asker]

I'm taking Krav Maga (it's a self defense based martial art) and I didn't realize how brutal it can be, I got my ass kicked by a woman like 3x my age last week lol

[Anonymous]

Alone for sure. I sometimes take classes just for fun though.

[Asker]

what kind of classes?

[Opinion Owner]

I tried kickboxing, poundfit, zumba, yoga, really interested to try muay thai but haven’t really looked into it just yet.

[Asker]

I'm taking Krav Maga and I didn't realize how brutal it can be, I got my ass kicked by a woman like 3x my age last week lol

[Opinion Owner]

Oof yeah I heard Krav Maga is pretty brutal lol it’s very impressive. Are u enjoying it tho?

[Asker]

It's a hell of a workout, I'm exhausted after the hour class.. yeah it's brutal lol, groin shots are allowed and it's mostly women, they love going for the balls

[Opinion Owner]

Sounds like torture 😂 I guess Imma go check it out as well lol

What kind of classes do you like to take other than Krav Maga?

[Asker]

I play soccer and do rock climbing, I used to do boxing.

haha yeah, it's kinda embarrassing when they hit me there because my reaction isn't the manliest :(

[Opinion Owner]

Ohh rock climbing sounds fun! I suck at soccer so I usually just watch people play lol

And no one’s gonna react in a “manly” way after getting kicked in the nuts lol so don’t worry about it. I just can’t imagine the pain tho… yikes 😆

[Asker]

Rock climbing is such a good workout, mostly upper body but you'll feel so sore afterwards in muscles you didn't know you had!

I just meant that if you were in the class and watching my fight a woman in her 60s (I'm 21) you wouldn't expect her to be able to take me down

[Opinion Owner]

Yes! I definitely need to work on my upper body strength so I bet rock climbing will help a ton.

Oh yeah it’s pretty cool how those martial art classes teaches people of all ages to defend themselves against bigger/stronger opponents. If the older lady can take you down that means that the Krav Maga instructor is legit and their classes are working lol

My auntie is also just entering her 60s, she’s tiny (4’11) but she’s strong af thanks to Krav Maga and kickboxing.

[Asker]

oh wow that's so cool about your aunt!

Yeah it does mean it's working but you know how guys like to act big and strong in front of women?

I can't imagine I look too manly on the ground holding my balls after a solid kick lol

[Opinion Owner]

Well she did kick you in your most vulnerable spot lol I bet even The Rock would squirm and turn into the pebble if he got kicked in the nuts

[Asker]

haha you really think you could take down the Rock!! he's huge and built like steel!!

I guess it makes it tough because some of the women tend to giggle when a guy reacts like that, I get it can be a little funny

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah I bet his balls are also rock hard lol

It is usually funny bc you don’t really ever get the chance to kick a guy in the groin and see his genuine reaction 😆

[Asker]

haha I wish i was a little tougher down there, especially for this class!

I'm pretty tall 6'3 and pretty muscular, so I'm sure it looks funnier since the woman was like half my size and still took me down.

What kind of genuine reaction would you expect?

[Opinion Owner]

Are you allowed to wear a protective groin cup or something? I feel sorry for your balls tbh lol

Just seeing a guy twice your size squirming in pain after you knock them out with a kick in the no-no zone is an impressive sight to see. No wonder those ladies are enjoying themselves and giggling lol It’s not really a fair fight tho bc they get to hit you in your most sensitive area but I guess that’s the whole point of taking a self defense class for the ladies

[Asker]

haha cups are allowed, but the women give us a hard time when we wear it, they think its unfair because they aren't wearing any padding.

Do you think its unfair?

[Asker]

wouldn't you be more impressed with the guy if he could take a kick and not drop to his knees?

[Opinion Owner]

I think you should be allowed to wear it. I’m sure it’s not gonna be healthy for you if you have to continuously let your nuts get crushed every time you take classes…

[Asker]

luckily you're only allowd to use 20-30% force, but since balls are so senstive.. that still takes me down everytime lol

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah you’re still getting kicked in the balls either way 😆

[Asker]

yeah I still don't get why it's so funny to women! we want you to think we're tough

[Opinion Owner]

It’s funny bc most guys act like they don’t feel any pain whatsoever even after they get beaten up, so it’s amusing to see a guy actually showing that he’s legit in pain from a “simple” kick in a particular area lol

[Asker]

Yeah i guess I see that, I feel like it looks weird when the woman is standing over me while I'm on the floor rubbing my sore balls in pain lol - how would that look to you if you were competiting against a muscular guy and took him down with a kick?

[Opinion Owner]

I’d be proud tbh. I’m pretty small at 5’1 and I’ve never overpowered any guy even though I lift weights at the gym, so being able to take down a guy would be such a confidence boost. I won’t see him as weak at all, I’ll just feel more secure about myself knowing that I can confidently protect myself against a bigger and stronger opponent 😌

[Asker]

but im worried you would see me as weak if you see me holding my balls on the floor? or at least a little weird that im touching myself in front of them?

[Opinion Owner]

Nah no one really cares. You’re human after all and humans feel pain. It’s a normal expected reaction, as long as you get back up ready to fight another round and is being a good sport about it then you’re still golden ✨

[Asker]

why do you say it's an expected reaction? I'm like double her size and pretty muscular

[Asker]

I think if I wasn't so much bigger than them, they wouldn't expect me to be as tough you know?

[Opinion Owner]

Well if a guy got kicked in the groin, most people would expect that he’d be falling to his knees, clutching his balls in pain right

[Asker]

I just thought there was a different expectation if he was more muscular

[Asker]

Doesn’t it look a bit weird to the woman in class seeing a guy touching his balls in front of her?

[Opinion Owner]

It’ll be weird if he was fondling his balls yes lol

[Asker]

Haha I wasn’t fondling my balls, but she def was watching as I was on the ground holding them in pain, she was giggling but I don’t get why

[hhadeshatesme]

I like working out alone

[_deeznuts]

Solo, so I can work at my own pace

[helva]

In a group when possible.

[Anonymous]
