For warm up exercises I like to have people work in pairs to get comfortable touching. I can only think of a couple... 1. Sit up paddy-cakes<br> 2. Stacked push ups (taking turns with feet on back)<br> 3. Piggy back squats<br> 4. Piggy back running<br> <br> I need a lot more - any suggestions? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.137039 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:39:37 -0800 Exercising partners with bleucube http://ask.metafilter.com/7631/Tell%2Dme%2Deverything%2Dabout%2Dgoing%2Dto%2Dthe%2Dgym Okay here's a question. The other day I stepped on the bathroom scales and the number displayed was a tad on the high side, by about 15-20lbs, so my first thought was 'Yeesh, I should join a gym'. However on further reflection, having never set foot in a gym since my traumatizing school days joining one seems like quite a scary prospect. So my question is.. What's the deal with gyms? What's the ettiquette, what do you need, will all these fit gym types be chuckling at my pathetic flabby assed efforts, are the showers still those bloody communal type affairs I shudder to remember back in school? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.7631 Tue, 01 Jun 2004 06:34:53 -0800 exercising gyms workingout workouts zeoslap
