elliptical v. yoga
a friend (read his blog) recently contacted me at work to discuss a very important issue...generally he sends me information on politics, world news, or societal concerns....and this time it was serious. he asked the age-old question,
"what is gayer...a guy in a yoga class, or a guy on an elliptical machine?"
my first instinct was to say yoga, no question. but then i thought, why be so hasty to stereotype someone who is interested in a legitimate form of exercise? yoga is actually quite difficult, so it's not a matter of a guy wimping out and doing something easy. that said, however, an elliptical machine can be difficult too (if you crank up the resistance, and make the incline a full 90 degrees...it's hard as shit). so what is the answer?
i informed my friend aaron of what i see as situational circumstances that can affect the answer. in isolation, a guy on an elliptical machine is not gay. but give him US weekly and a headband, and there's a solid chance he is. likewise, a guy in a yoga class is not gay just by being there. if he shows up in spandex, then - again - there's a chance.
i'd like to get some opinions from outsiders here...so cast your votes and let me know what you think.
