That’s why i always urge my friends to try different workout, for some, it can be yoga, or kickboxing, or tai chi, or dancing… but you never know until you try! There must be SOME form of physical activity that you enjoy. But yes, i agree, you need to enjoy what you do to stay persistent.
Interesting perspective from a personal trainer. Before and after picks were taken about 1 or two hours apart. Look at the difference.

Personally, I hate the gym. I hate the mildewey smell of locker rooms, the slightly damp carpeting or tile that your feet stand on as your are changing, the humidity piping out from the showers and steam rooms. I really dislike exercising with machines, whether weights or cardio. Weight machines are less problematic for me than the cardio machines, because they aren’t replacing being out and about, but I still don’t like them all that much.
I do like being outside and moving - on a bike or running or something. I like dancing, particularly when an attractive woman is snuggling closer to you to feel the lead better. I like yoga (the changing rooms are cleaner than the regular gym). So it took me a while to find the exercising activities I like.
My sense is that women like muscle tone, but most aren’t all that crazy about muscle bulk. That is, they like to see that there are muscles there, and not flab, but they don’t have to look like you have an alien growing out of your shoulder or something.
I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT!!! She’s so cool she can do no wrong!!!
Right?!!
There are no heels under 10cm these days, 12 is like the norm.
Although i have to say, because of the platform in the front, they are easier to walk in and not as steep.
I am not that tall, thankfully, so i am happy to wear heels when i go out, but if i were supermodel height, i would be shy to wear heels and stand out too much from the crowd.
Totally!
Most women like swimmers and yoga instructors built, and not body builders built.
As long as you are doing some form of exercise, that’s good! you don’t need to go to the gym necessarily.
And i think you can always tell, just from the face or the aura, who exercises regularly and who doesn’t. It’s like smokers have the smoker face.
bchad’s guide to heels (in inches)
1" : “Meh, might as well have worn flats.”
2" : “Nice.”
3" : “Sexy!!”
4" : “Oooh, she really likes me!”
5" : “I think you’re trying too hard.”
6"+ : “How much does an hour cost??”
wtf is a yoga build?
Not a lot of bulk necessarily, but everything is firmly in place without looking scrawny or famished.
It’s not that hard to stay in shape. 5 hours a day in the gym? If you do 1 hour of cardio a day 5 days a week and avoid processed food you will be in better shape than 97% of people in the US. If you want to take it a step further and spend another 15 minutes a day doing a few sets of pushups / pullups and squats or lunges at home with moderate weight, you will look ripped over time - probably in 6 months or less assuming you are not severely overweight to start with. Looking ripped is about having low body fat, not huge muscles. This program is well within the realm of possibility in a country where the average person watches 3+ hours of TV a day.
^ Bravo Bro. Mad Respect.
Follow his words kids and be sure to stop fapping and clean your filthy colon.
I used to think anything beyond 4" is too much, and they are hooker heels, but these days the trend is higher the better. not to mention the heelless shoes category…

They are all 15cm+++
T_T
lean and firm - not bulky but low body fat!
It’s frustrating!
I am only 5’3" but I refuse to wear anything over 3.5’ (4’ tops). And it takes forever to find it!
Most of them are either flats or “I’d like you to break your neck today, darling” choices.
Or and I only like platform on the heal side, not on the front. Wedges I think?
I second that! Pilates classes give same results.
Yeah you’ll never see me in those. But I do like creative heals:)
I do like flats actually, and i wear them to work mostly.
I love jelly shoes, not just good for rainy days but they also smell sweet!
And of course, the Ferragamo flats… no women should live without!
Really?! To swimmers that is. I’m off the market, so I guess doesn’t really matter.
I swim 3000-5000 yards a day, 5 days a week. I have solid 4 pack but can’t seem to get the definition on the last 2. Always figured that swimmers had that extra layer of fat to stay buoyant.
Would add Aeriel Yoga, Gyrotonics, Trapeze (fun and challenging)
Don’t know how people are not bored out of their minds doing repetitive machine routine every single time!
Not the swimmers i see on TV… they are all super lean and tall and wide!
But a little bit of fat is okay too if you’re tall with broad shoulders.
Yes, the part-time stripper look is in these days.
And, personally, I think these shoes make make women’s feet look like giant rhinestone-encrusted sledgehammers.
But they are good for showing the girl next to you how much more bling you have, which is where I think women find real appeal in them.
To me, they look about as ridiculous as those super long pointy shoes that men used to wear back in the Rennaisance (yes, I was around then, studying for CFA L1). viz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crakow_(shoe)
