Then invite them to do it with you, if you are that close to them that is. If it is someone you don't like, well just say what I said earlier, then keep going.

Reply from Mandy, Age 13 - 07/24/06 - IP#: 71.221.35.xxx You shouldn't feel embarrassed. Atleast you are off your butt and exercising when they aren't. I'm not embarrassed. But today I was walking on our city's lakewalk, and some of my friends were walking to and they asked why I was walking. Stupid question really because they were doing it too :] I would just ignore it. I think exercising is fun, and you see lots of teens doing it these days. Maybe tell your friends you want to feel comfortable knowing that they know you exercise. I'm sure they would understand
