I am in intense physical therapy due to a knee injury, and today as I was doing some work on the Total Gym, my hair got caught and all tangled in a mechanism (thats about as technical as I can get, the total gym baffles me)! I had it up in a ponytail, but it made me realize how long and dangerous my ponytail is. I was really worried, not to mention trapped, but I managed to free myself and do no damage to my hair.

Does anyone have any ideas for safer workout hair styles?
Has anyone else gotten trapped and tangled in anything?

It was amusing because I am probably the youngest person attending therapy, and I was surrounded by worried seniors.
