I used to work out in the openplan living room mostly which was like a pathway for everyone. Hated people pasing over my prone body. Then we got another tv set which we put in my mother's room - so I started using that - which made such a difference. I like to wear junk when I'm working out. I also like to focus. I once found my ex-brother in law perched on the sofa watching me doing pelvic tilts, and felt SO uncomfortable. So I stopped. I also hate people commenting about how I am doing or should be doing exercises. Bunch of couch potatoes commenting on the my exertion!
Actually, it was one of the reasons I first tried out yoga CDs - to be able to do them in my bedroom - which has a door! Only to discover that I liked them above all else
In fact, if the situation hadn't changed somewhat here I would probably tape my favourite workouts to be able to do them alone in my room.
Gyms here in Malta are probably the same as in France - poser's paradise. :rolleyes:
