If you want a balanced work out that is sure to keep the pounds off, try Muay Thai. I've been doing this for a few months now, and it really whips you into shape in a hurry. I have a fast metabolism so keeping the pounds off doesn't apply to me, but I like it because in 3 short months I feel like I'm near the best shape I've ever been in. Many of the classes at my gym (www.tkmt.ca) have more girls than guys because Muay Thai training will result in a slender but toned body due to the nature of the exercises involved.

I've attended standard gyms on and off for 8 years, so I'm really liking this as a change. I feel that instructional classes push you that extra little bit beyond the level that you would nomrally get to on your own because you don't want to look weaker than everyone else in the class. Also, in addition to staying in shape, you're learning how to defend yourself.

I'm not personally looking to lose weight - stress relief and energy are my goals... but have wanted to try Muay thai- thanks for the link. I still want to train as my primary work-out but variety is good.

I totally agree - competition is the best motivator for me... I am not a competitive person but for some reason when I'm working out, I can't help but want to be kicking ass harder than the other chicks there lol.

btw- to add to the search for gyms... any good sports nutrition shops downtown? I know there's one on Yonge close to Wellsley (I think)... I haven't walked-in... Looking for product variety that's not over-priced.

1. lol - it doesn't jive well with my healthy-living thing and if I say this week, you'll roll your eyes... but I'm publicly stating that I shall be there on Sunday (and maybe Fw on Friday... maybe). I miss dancing.

2. I can't really give an intelligent response for the new handle - lol I was too lazy to get my password re-sent last night

btw - if you have blades - gonna start going down to the lakefront and looking for blading buddies.

Ya - GNC is there if need-be... it's just way over-priced compared to a lot of smaller stores.
