ask lyonesse about aikido and/or horseback riding; both are singularly excellent for improving body awareness, flexibility, and strength, and i've found both to be a lot of fun.

the only significant downside is that neither of those activities are quite within the geographic area required, but don’t let that stop you.

aww, thanks. stjarni still misses you! :)

i don't like to pump either of these b/c i do teach them. if y'all are enough mit-connected to use the z-center though i can recommend mit kokikai club.

i can give rides to horseback riding lessons, but you do have to want to, you know, be around horses :)

No real MIT connections, but I am looking at Harvard aikido...

they're usaf, so i have little familiarity with them. we kinda tried to start up harvard kokikai, but never got far with the process :/

i'm perenially looking for an appropriate and cheap space around somerville to teach; as it is i run seminars sometimes but out in littleton (i'm chief instructor of littleton kokikai :)

prosicated was doing Cross-fit training in that neck of the woods (I believe) with extremely impressive results. You might want to ping her and find out where she was working out.

I am devoted to the personal trainer I worked with a few years back. Last I heard, she was at the Bally's in Medford, but I'll bet she could get into the one in Porter also. If you're interested, I can send you her info.

She's Gina Scuderi, and I'm pretty sure she's at the Bally's at 285 Middlesex Ave in Medford, (781) 321-4980. I will see if I can find her email or phone and send it to you privately.

Any classes with Barratt Lauck are highly, highly recommended.

I think so? Let me forward you her latest monthly update newsletter.

a gym she will attend is infinitely superior to one she will not. so determining what's convenient/pleasant for her is imho the most important thing.

today there is a coupon for three cheaptastic private trainings not *too* far off, which she might then be able to implement at some more local gym (or, like, yr house) under her own auspices:

i also highly, highly recommend the book "yoga for wimps".
