| 431.1 | Where is it? | ATSE::BLOCK | With a mind of magic & a magical mind | Tue Apr 04 1989 16:23 | 11 |

	Kathy,
	Can you post the location(s) of the "asylum(s)"?  This sounds 
	like a great idea, but I live in NH, and I only exercise if it's
	convenient...
	Thanks,
	Beverly

|  |     I do aerobics at another health club (it's only 10 minutes from
    my house).  You're right, it does feel like there is a little
    more pressure.  It ends up working positively for me though.
    
    When I look at how much thinner they look then I do, it makes
    me realize that yes, I do need to take off pounds, and I'll
    try to eat right today.
    
    The first couple of times I went I felt like everyone was 
    looking at me.  But then I thought to myself maybe they are
    looking at me and saying she needs to lose weight, but she's
    here trying to do something about it - so good for her!
    
    Anyway, I go four times a week now, and I really enjoy it.

|  |     I used to belong to the Anatomy Asylum in Natck.  They went out
    of business!!  Which club do you belong to. I was under the impression
    that the whole chain was sold out.

    I also used to belong, only to the club in Medford.  They too went
    out of business.  I was told that the whole chain was going under.

| 431.6 | ANATOMY ASYLUM WHERE ARE YOU NOW! | DELNI::SAMRA |  | Fri Apr 07 1989 09:10 | 5 | 
|  |     I also belonged to the club in Natick.  I must say that I agree,
    they provided the best overall workout I have EVER had (and believe
    me I have been doing this a long time).  I would love to know where
    they are located now.  Any help would be appreciated.

|  |     The only exercise I absolutely love is contra-dancing.  I can dance
    for 3 hours, with almost no breaks.  It's a real aerobic workout!
    
    If you've never been, it's very healing for any of you who have
    bad memories of going to dances as a young person and being a
    wallflower.  Everyone gets asked to dance!  As often as they want.
    People are often begging people sitting down to stand up and help
    fill out a set.
    
    And they teach all the dances at the beginning, and help you walk
    through them.  They get progressively harder as the evening goes
    on, so you drop out and watch (and learn) if it gets too hard.

| 431.8 | EXCERCISING CAN BE FUN PART II | WR2FOR::KRANICH_KA |  | Fri Apr 07 1989 15:58 | 17 | 
|  |     re:.4,.5,.6......
    
    I'm sorry to say that I didn't realize that most people reading
    this notes file are from the East Coast.  I live in California and
    they are all over the place here.  It's to bad they closed them
    down because it sounds as if some of you really enjoyed it.  Maybe
    if you wrote to Richard personally, and enough interest was generated
    he might think about opening another one back up??
    
    re:.3.....I don't think as a woman that I'm trying to be macho by
    excercising!!  It makes me feel like I have really done something,
    and making positive steps forward to get my weight and body under
    control without the added stress of feeling like I have to show-off,
    or prove something to anyone else but me!!!
    
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!

| 431.11 | Contra dancing | SUPER::HENDRICKS | The only way out is through | Mon Apr 10 1989 16:34 | 29 | 
|  |     That's a good question. 
    
    There is a dance conference on ERIS::DANCE, I think.  And the folk
    music file on COOKIE::Folk_music sometimes has them.  I'm on a bunch
    of mailing lists, and I listen to the folk shows on the radio all
    the time.
    
    For people west of Boston, they have a dance many nights a week
    at the Concord Scout House in the center of Concord, almost always
    with live music.
    
    Also, NEFFA, the New England Folk Festival is coming up in Natick
    on the weekend of April 21, and there are loads and loads of dance
    and music events for 3 days.  There's more info about that in the
    folk notesfile.  There are several beginner sessions in contra dancing
    at NEFFA.   It's at Natick High School.
    
    There are loads of dances all over New Hampshire (southern
    New Hampshire) almost every weekend.  The WEVO folk shows on Sat.
    and Sun. evenings usually describe upcoming dances and concerts.
    
    If you're really interested, and can't find anything good using
    these ideas, send me mail and tell me where you are, and if it's
    in New England, I will try to help.             
         
    It's a lot of fun, and a wonderful workout!

| 431.12 | Agree- Dancing is great fun! | GWYNED::JRHODES |  | Mon Jul 10 1989 15:32 | 8 | 
|  |     My favorite thing to do is go to an area nightclub and dance 5-6 songs
    in a row with my SO (who happens to be a much better dancer than me!)
    and work up a good sweat.  Take a break and do it again...
    
    I must do this at least every two weeks (a couple of alcoholic drinks
    to "loosen me up to dance" and tonic water w/lime the rest of the night
    helps to burn more calories too!)...
