But tell me anyway

Sounds like cross dressing while you work out.

or those oval stickers that say 13.1 or 26.2.

You show me a vegan half marathoner and I'll show you someone you don't want to get cornered by at a party.

But my fear is being cornered by someone who speaks nothing but Star Wars or Marvel Movies.

Boyfriend got me into it. Essentially it's high intensity interval training with a twist. Workouts are different everyday and may include weightlifting, cardio, gymnastics and so on. I love it.

What I like about it - as compared to other types of gyms/training - is that no one cares what you look like. Some of the people you'd think would be in 'bad' shape are excellent, have excellent fitness and stamina and can lift a lot.

As a woman, I have gotten far more toned than I ever thought possible and weight loss has followed, although not in the traditional sense as muscle weighs more than fat. But my butt is awesome (thanks to squats and burpees - the bane of my existence) and my arms are muscular.
