Do you do any classes at the gym?

I would just stick to lifting for now. Yoga can be done in your own home and you can just run outside for cardio

As long as the class helps you on your mission to a better body and mind. I don’t see why any man would do Zumba but if that’s what gets him in the gym to lose weight more power to him. I’ve heard yoga is great for the mind and stretching. You’ll be able to squat lower and recover better. Pilates is supposed to be good for stretching and recovery as well.

Lots of athletes do yoga or Pilates

Yoga is great, esp. if you lift.

Listened to a podcast (Joe Rogan) with Dorian Yates. He and Joe were saying how great daily yoga is.

Did you get the Lululemons and the soy latte too?

Just lift and do a little bit of high intensity cardio.

I've never enjoyed the group fitness setting as a student. The dynamic feels off, if I can be so vague. It's often mostly middle-aged women, which is a bad sign.

If you see a cool class, you can check it out, but I doubt a group fitness class will be of much benefit compared to independent exercise unless you are a noob in the sport.

I have enjoyed kickboxing classes kind of, but prefer to exercise according to my own plans. Even if you are a tubby dumb dumb, I think people are better off if they learn how to go train hard (and properly) on their own.

I did a stretching class for several years at the gym that has helped me a lot. Better flexibility helps posture and makes your muscles more functional.

Try them out and see if they help you. There is little harm in trying.
