So I need to be stronger and more flexible. Enter Yoga and Pilates. Sure, the classes are dominated by girls, but Roy Keane and Tiger Woods do them. I researched the difference, and decided that Pilates was more appealing due to its lack of chanting and the (relative) focus on muscle strengthening.
I attend my first pilates class at a gym near work. The reasons for this are two fold: the schedule is slightly better and I hoped that the proximity to the city will help with the crowd. I'm the only guy.
I setup my mat at the back of the room, and found myself under glaring overhead lights. I wasn't alone in the back, but I envied all of the better positioned girls who weren't blinded every time they looked up. The next 60 minutes were torture, and I found myself straining to see the clock. My abs hurt for the next two days; clearly this requires a repeat visit.
During our post game social I tell my teammate "I though Pilates was Yoga for guys."
He answers, "Pilates is Yoga for chicks."
