Hijabis who work out

Ira · May 27, 2004, 10:23pm

Hmmm thanks for all the useful replies.

irem and humsa: yeah i figured out waht you guys said. Will have to try that.Thanks :)

Faisal: Yeah i make a joora and then wrap the little scarf/bandana so its all covered. Thanks for the suggestion :)

TheNewCoolDude: I am glad I made you laugh.

Lussi and Fraudz: I am not sure about everyone else, but I wear a long T-shirt with gym pants and I usually run on the treadmills or do weights. I havent found anyone staring at my a$$ so far.

Matsui: Maybe you dont live in a muslim majority area or no hijabis come to ur gym. I know quite a few girls who are hijabis and still workout.

I don't think guys are gonna be interested in checking out a hijabis' butt or atleast I hope not. If they do, well screw them.

Not all guys know what the Hijab stands for. :)

And I thought people went to gym to work out. You're tellin me it's just another place for "poondi"?

I used to work out on those “cycles” in winters cuz I can’t ride my bike in the snow. Anyway, with a proper shirt, I don’t think guys are gonna be interested in checking out a hijabis’ butt or atleast I hope not. If they do, well screw them.

bhaee if that’s the case then don’t you think just wearing a sports cap or something similiar would suffice? Why go all about exchanging recipes on how to make a perfect hair-hidding ghulaaf?

Roman a sports cap isn't the same as a hijab. Anyway, I gave it up for reasons of my own.

Workout's always there but if "poondi" comes along,difficult to resist. :)

Actually I had a personal fitness trainer. About twenty of my friends and I signed up.And although it wasnt a big place, it was great. It was about $100 a month, $50 if there were two people from the same family.

And we didnt have to worry about hijabs.But she (trainer) moved away.Darn it.Now I just work out at home- which is rare.

I know I know- Im getting fat.:o

Hum_Sa_Ho_To_Samne_Aaye · May 27, 2004, 10:33pm

In that case no place on earth is safe from poondi. Don't be so harsh on the hijabis guys. I dont know what you guys got against them.

Do hijabis go swimming in burqas then? Honest question...

Hum_Sa_Ho_To_Samne_Aaye · May 27, 2004, 10:39pm

^ Ahh no! I really doubt it

I guess they go to all-female pools (yeah dream on TNC :P)

underthecross: how innocent.

underthecross · May 27, 2004, 10:39pm

Is hijabi a sister sect to wahabi?

some of the jokes were lame, I think its quite hard being a hijabi in normal life, let alone being teased by u idiots who are supposed to encourage em on. While I know that not hijabans are angels, I still have that element of respect for them and try and not check em out much, but its weird how i always fall for one

dont u girls have any all women gym you could go to?, otherwise, well the cotteon/lawn hijaab sounds okay, i know it,d still be quite uneasy to wear it but still… u gotta do wat u gotta do.

and humsa, trust me, while working out, guys need motivation, and poonDi motivates a jawaan like nothing else

Hmm I used to wear it and work out at the U gym (co-ed) and go running. Light cotton ones are the best. It's not such a big deal. Just make sure it's tied properly cuz it's a pain adjusting and re-adjusting when u're working out.

are u saying you are/were hijabi?

Hum_Sa_Ho_To_Samne_Aaye · May 28, 2004, 2:23am

^ Yeah I was.

_Tikhi_Jalebi · May 28, 2004, 3:07am

u guys, STOP!

Ira I think lussi has a point..I used to go to Ballys n I found that very uncomfortable even when I didnt wear the hijab. But then I cancelled n got it for Fitness USA n they have only girls on alternatives day. Its ten times better!!!!! And I think you can get their lifetime membership for alot cheaper especially if you know someone thats already a member. And there are all-girl smaller gyms that are cheaper I think and its definately worth it...you will feel alot more comfy n u can wear shorts if you want to not have to worry about it :p

you read my mind dude!

This reminds me of a girl in my college. She used to hear a head scarf with a fairly tight T-shirt and … (this is never even going to be close to your wildest imagination) a knee length skirt … not to forget her long boots.

Some people just don’t seem to get it do they
