When I was injured I spend a couple of years as a member of a gym doing my core exercies. There are a mumber number of female members and the organised classes are so dominated by women, I felt like a dirty old man going to them and stopped going eventually. Why is that, I guess it is a safe friendly environment for them.

While it is brilliant that they are exercising it is also a pity that there are not more of them out doing competitive sport "in the wild".

I did aerobics for several years. The reason I gave up was not because I was intimidated by being surrounded by females, but because it knackered my right knee in a way that even running up and down hills wasn't doing. Oh, and I will be able to indulge my inner dirty old man next Monday when I am at Wimbledon and can watch athletic young ladies playing tennis.

"In the wild", I do see many women out running, both on the suburban streets and on the rural footpaths where I do most of my running; but of course the numbers in competitive events in the wild are smaller.
