Nervous about group exercise
I know this sounds crazy, but group exercise gives me terrible anxiety. Most people of course would just not do it since it is not a life requirement. However, I keep finding activities with other women that I love spending time with that involve hard-core exercise. For example, right now some good mom friends of mine are starting to train for a race. I want to join them, yet I always get very bad anxiety about it. I feel a pressure that makes me nervous. Anyone deal with that and get over it. I have kind of always been like this.

Re: Nervous about group exercise
What is it exactly that makes you nervous/anxious?
I have heard ppl say they don't like to go to classes b/c they are worried that other people are staring at them/criticizing their performance. To that I say - they are not. Everyone is focused on their own workout, so don't worry about that!
I like running with a group. Its easier to motivate sometimes when you know you have ppl to meet up with. Also chatting makes the time go faster! I would go for it.

This was the hardest thing for me to get over when I started taking yoga.
Now I don't even think about it.
