I go to a gym class on Monday nights, which is kindof like calisthenics, French style. The French part being that every couple of months we celebrate birthdays after the class, and basically have a huge feast. I just love how that goes hand in hand with an exercise class, and doesn't seem strange to anyone but the American. These ladies (and one guy) know how to enjoy life---even the exercise is geared towards muscle relaxation and stress-reduction (we give each other back massages at the end of each class, for example) rather than burning calories or being able to fit into those jeans from back in 1998. It seems to be about quality of life and community, not guilt. I like that.
