well, if I learned anything from the Jackass series of movies, it clearly is good for clearing certain exhaust ports...


In all honestly, I have heard it's good for the internal plumbing. smile

New gym??

A bunch of us girls at work are going to start doing yoga and pilates one day a week after work in our training room with DVD's on the projector screen. Should be a nice change from my gym workout!

::Grabs notepad:: So that's 5:30ish in the training room then?

We've had people propose this before, and had an instructor lead some yoga classes in our workout room in years past, but attendance always drops off quick. If people have to pay for it themselves, they don't want to do it. We've (wellness committee) discussed recently that we could stream some videos using our projector and a Netflix account and try some intro Zumba type things and try to drum up interest...we'll see where that goes.

I think hanging some TRX suspension straps in the training room would be a good one too.
Not to mention the questions it would raise in the minds of the uninitiated! grin

Well, our inaugural yoga night turned into pilates instead! I think we'll make it a regular once a week thing after work. Although, some moves are going to be banned because we were just laughing too hard at the awkwardness of them!! blush

I got a pair for Christmas and haven't notices any sheerness. I may need to do a down dog in front of a mirror tonight to test them.

I will say they are the most comfortable pants I have ever own.

I find it quite suspicious that you are looking on a website known for selling see-through yoga pants just to "find out how much they cost."

do you think that they new about it and posted it on the website as this mistake may force them into bankrupcy?

I wonder if their corporate practices are as transparent as their pants.





See what I did there?

Wondering if yoga studios are giving them away to certain women to attract male participation in yoga classes.
