I did Nia for a few weeks and really loved it -- more than just about any other form of exercise I've done. Then the hip flared up (I'm still not sure whether Nia was a contributing factor, but it may have been) and I quit going. The fact that I'd managed to have a rather startling kundalini orgasm during class was an issue as well -- I don't mind *doing* that sort of thing, but I'd rather do it among like-minded individuals and not a lot of gray-haired Piedmont matrons, which was rather embarrassing even though I'm fairly sure nobody noticed.

And, re: the chili: no. Lime juice is almost always a good addition to anything with Mexican seasoning.
