So, I'm going to my first Nia class tonight. Nia is a workout class that combines Yoga, Tai chi, Jazz Dance, Aikido, Modern Dance, Tae Kwon Do, and more. It's like a crazy dance class. But I'm really scared because I haven't done anything this active since the surgery (Aug 24th). I know some of you on here are very active - Do your bags hold up? I'm wearing tighter yoga pants, hope fully the bag won't flop around. Ugh, I'm going to worry about it the whole time.... sad

That sounds like fun! Don't worry about a thing, and have a blast!! :-)

I also take funky dance aerobics class and I run on the road several times a week. I wear tight pants to the gym. My bag does not move; however, I always wear short/mini bags to the gym. When I run, I wear tight panties and when I bike, I wear tight biker shorts.

Have fun! Your class sounds like a blast!

I have a friend who will be testing for her black belt in karate in a few months time. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Just try and avoid positions that mean you have to lie on your tummy :)

So, sf, how'd it go?  I bet you are pretty tired, huh?  Bag didn't slow ya down one bit, huh?

YAY! Nope, the bag didn't slow me down, and I got through the whole class. In fact, I forgot about it, and about 3/4 of the way through the class, I was like, "Oh yeah". What a super class, by the way. Perfect for anyone rehabilitating. It is so adaptable to any skill level. I got up a good sweat, too. I'm going to go every week now that I know I can do it. ;)

You're Awesome! See..bags don't slow you down. In fact, they make you stronger!

I just knew you would have a blast and forget all about it a few minutes after the class started. Good for you!!!
