Participaction, My Style

All those years of having government fitness "participaction" commercials crammed down my throat and what good did they do me?


"Oh, let's go for a run!" says Debra She Who Seeks, never. Run? RUN?




But you know, I'm consistent. That counts for something, doesn't it?

  3. I was forced to do one sport or another when I was a kid even though I didn't want to. Now my inner parent forces me to go to the gym even though I don't want to. Funny cartoons though!

  11. I'm supposed to be doing exercises. If I don't do them, my shoulders stop working properly. And then there's also the whole man-boob issue. Point is, I still have man-boobs, and my shoulders still aren't working properly.

    I do think about the exercise though.

  13. The last time I jogged was about thirty years ago and I'm having no intentions of ever running again, for my side was killing me!

  15. Leeanna: Don't worry, they're very slow. Consistent, but slow. That's zombies for you.

    Debra: You crack me up. Los Angeles is full of brainwashed people who listened to the fitness PSAs! Ack!

  19. Love it! I can relate to this. I go for a 'run' and say to myself 'I hate running!' So then I downgrade to a walk. It's all an illusion.

  25. I haven't really exercised in years either...

    I really should go to the gym more often. It has been more than 5 years...

  26. Sadly, we all are quite resistant to wards fitness and exercise. Though I have been morning exercising for a week now, and I feel better. Let's see for how long I can do this routine :)

  30. haha! Love your outlook. I used to go to the gym every single day ... until there was a cultural change at the gym, people weren't showering before hitting the pool, they smelled when they sweat, left nasty sweat on machines. But the corker was when I went into the locker room one day and a large, naked woman was standing in front of the mirror scratching zits off her back with a toothbrush. Haven't been back to the gym since.

  31. if the refrigerator and the toilet weren't at opposite sides of the apt. I'd never get any exercise.

  32. The police cartoon....I say that all the time about running. Also, the only time I run is when I'm being chased by someone with a knife.

    For realz.
