I’m sorry but when was dancing and running on a treadmill the same thing?? Cmon that’s extreme. Dancing can be zexual. Working out is working out all sweaty and gross.
If a man gets turned on by a woman who is dressed all covered up on a treadmill that’s on him not her.

After careful consideration, I am going to pasken that it is acceptable to eat the Kokosh, on the couch, in the velvet robe, as long as it is chocolate kokash.
Vanilla and cinnamon are NOT acceptable.
If you have a chocolate allergy, you may come and discuss the possibility of getting a heter, but it will depend on many factors, including but not limited to; what your reaction is, how severe the allergic reaction is, what types of treatments you have already endured to try to overcome the allergy, and what segulos you have tried.

EAT KOKOSH ON THE COUCH???? Don't you know Pesach is practically around the corner??? Never mind heart disease for lack of working out. This here is heart disease begging to happen. KEEP THAT KOKOSH AWAY FROM THE COUCH!!!

Exactly! Even at home She shouldn’t do certain movements like bending down to empty the dishwasher or washing the floors.

I could totally live with this. No bending to pick things up off the floor. No vigorous movements, like scrubbing greasy pans. No running up and down the stairs all day long. Just sit on the couch and eat (kosher lepesach) chocolate. That's the life. Whistling

That is completely inappropriate and not your place. Do you know what her budget looks like? Do you know if she has space for a machine?

A treadmill is less expensive than a year gym membership

NYC Public Gym Adult Membership--$150
Any treadmill sold for that price or less is almost guaranteed to break within the year.
(Never mind that a treadmill is not in any way a substitute for a complete gym.)

Dancing is very different than running on a treadmill. Dancing can be s-xual. There is nothing attractive about a sweaty woman dressed appropriately running on a treadmill .

I think I would look super hot dressed in a snood, with a sports bra and baggy long sleeve t-shirt, shamatta skirt over leggings, and s-xy Newbalance sneakers-panting and shvitzing.
That is why I stay home on my couch!

I'm not here to argue the finer points of modestly. But one thing I can tell you is that people look at me MUCH less w hen I dress like everybody else, long leggings, short sleeve t-shirt, and uncovered hair - then when I went to the gym with a skirt and kerchief. just saying..
also, if your breasts are bouncing,... buy yourself a good sports bra.
Also, just take care of your own religiousity, and what someone else does is none of your business.

I have never lived among chassidish people but my friends and neighbors and I have always gone to mixed gyms. Totally not a problem in my community. Everyone minds their own business. Married women who cover their hair keep their hair covered at the gym as well.
Married women who dont obviously dont cover at the gym either.

At the moment I run outside because it's what works for my schedule. Several of my Male neighbors are training for a marathon and we all see each other running all the time.
In my old neighborhood my rabbi ran a marathon every year and we always saw him out running.

Ppl who keep saying buy a treadmill still aren't replying to lack of space in the living quarters.

What if there is no space in the home for exercise equipment?

It's not a matter of how much people look at you. You could say that in the summer people will look at you less if you wear shorts and tee shirt. And that's faulty logic.

I wonder if that post was fake. Normally all walks of life who cover, will cover period ( outside the home, especially in their own city). Or maybe its otd chassidish who are just staying in the community and are lwmo on the inside.

IRL.
When we go to an indoor waterpark, the MO or JPF women and girls always wear full cover ups while many chassidish wear just bathing suits. A saw that at the beach in Miami as well, chassidish women in bathing suits.
I see alot when we go out to eat, the MO and JPF are very careful with washing and bentching out loud.
MO are more careful with sof z'man t'filla.

This is my observations in my experience.

If you want it badly enough you make space. I’ve had a rower in my dining room and a treadmill in my kitchen at times. And most treadmills built for home use fold up.

If they are just in regular bathing suits how are you identifying them as chassidish?

I’m having a very hard time believing that these women who wear thick stockings with seems and double head coverings and don’t drive because apparently driving isn’t tznius are running around in bathing suits.

Of course many dress tzenuis at the beach.
But some don't.
