Fitness Center for Women Opens in Kabul

I thought I would post the first blog entry from the Afghan Warrior - he comments that a gym for women is now open in Kabul - the first of its kind:

The country's first fitness club for women started 2 months ago with the participation of a dozen women. It has already logged some success. Women from different ages exercise at this club, especially those women who have difficulty with mobility because of their weight. Most women are happy for the positive changes in their bodies in two months.
This would never have happened under the Taliban rule. And when people are worried about their weight rather than mere survival, I think that's a good thing.
