The Popeye Exercise Routine
Posted on February 29, 2008 - Filed Under Business |
Trisha started a 30-Day challenge on her blog which I accepted. Her challenge was to give something up. I decided to add something.
The gym.
Normally I shun exercise. As I find myself, climbing the age ladder into my mid-30’s, I start thinking about things like AARP and applying for Medicare. Maybe pushing some weight around would do my body good.
Week 3 has been reached. My arms can move once again which means I can wash my hair.
Nearly 4 years has passed since I went to a gym. On occasion my body has tried to incorporate some kind of exercise routine. Maybe a week or two here and there. Nothing long term.
Why?
I’m glad you asked.
First: the trainer informed me that I have ectomorphic body. At first, I thought this was some kind of super-power. Much to my chagrin, it simply means I could bench press a full-size SUV and not gain any bulk. Legally, I can’t gain any mass.
Second: When I put on a tank-top, I have an eery resemblance to Olive Oyl from Popeye fame.
Third: Protein shake. Weight Gainer 10000. Creatin does what? 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight. No more than 10 grams of fat per day. Protein bar with 25 grams of protein. What kind of life is this?
If you’re saying to yourself “Self, Cliff lives in California. Isn’t everyone in perfect shape, running on the beach behind David Hasselholic and Pamela Anderboobs?”
You need to get out more.
One remarkable aspect which trumps everything: my head is a lot clearer. It’s easier to think and be creative.
Have a great weekend. Consider seriously getting out from behind your computer.
