Kick and punch!

[maristu]

I need to find myself another physical activity. I already play squash (is that the name in english?) every tuesday, but it's definitely not enough to a) keep me from gaining weight; and b) venting pent-up frustrations. Actually, it's pretty good for when I'm mad, because I can just take it all out on the ball (and sometimes the walls too *g*). Problem is, it works out only my right arm, which means that I'm becoming disproportional.

So, I went to my old gym today to try to find something else I like. I could lift weights, and probably will, but that's just so *boring*, I end up giving up altogether. Which is why I need to find something interesting.

When I got there, they were having this class called "Tae Fight", which seemed interesting. Although I don't think I could ever do what the teacher demonstrates. It was kind of an aerobics class, except with punches and kicks, and mostly boxing movements (defense and foot movements too). Interesting. I do think I'm too much of a Yin person to actually punch and kick something (although I have felt like punching people lately). Plus, the girl that was in the class, the one that actually seemed to know what she was doing, was really BIG. I mean in a muscular way. Very masculine. I don't know if that's what I want.

So... Still looking. I have absolutely no idea of what I'm going to do. Suggestions?

It sounds ideal, actually. Most women cannot get big in a masculine kind of way at all - that takes a certain amount of testosterone (which we usually don't produce enough of) plus weight lifting. I'd guess that this Tae Fight class isn't the only exercise this girl does.
