I've always been a genetically thin girl all my life (100lbs and 5'5) and even after a kid i've never had to work out. But i want to. Call me perfectionist but I don't want to be just skinny, i wanna look toned/healthy. Yet i feel i'm heading no where and i need you lovely ladies to direct me in this sea of fitness confusion.
1) I avoid cardio like the plague. Why? Cause, to me, its what ppl do to lose weight and i can not afford to lose weight (i would blow away!). But everything is cardio based! Am i wrong to be avoiding it? Is there good cardio for "skinny" girls?
2) I wanna try Zumba. But as said in 1, i fear cardio and that's what it looks like to me. I love to dance and this is as "sexy" as dancing can get when it comes to adult dance classes (and its the most offered around here). So i'm appealed to it but i'm afraid i'm stepping into a aerobic workout and i don't need that....do i?
3) My SO says strength training is what i need. I agree. But i have a hard time finding female strength training stuff that doesn't have that scary "look like she-man" feel or require a gym membership. I can't do a gym so everything would be at home. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
I have tried Pilates (dvd on netflix) and i like it. So i plan on sticking to that but i feel i could do more cause i get bored/unmotivated easy.
Wise ol' SC ladies, lend me your advise! Help me clear this confusion!
