ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'll get right on it!
I swear I had a clever comment, but I got too distracted hoping Fab Kate would post a video and forgot what I was going to say.
ReplyDeleteLove the suggestions! Though I think my coffee mug is already approaching 50 lbs given the vast amount of coffee I swill to get myself motivated.
LOL!! But you forgot my favorite: do overhead presses with your laptop while typing blog posts. This is even more effective if you use a pc.
ReplyDeleteI like just going to work out
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDelete"Did you know that sex can burn over 1,000 calories per hour if you do it on an elliptical machine while holding kettlebells?"
ReplyDeleteThank Goodness! That's my favorite position!
The clothes thing burns more calories if you start throwing shoes and sweaters around and throwing punches at the mirror. The best burn is when you throw your entire closet into garbage bags and haul them out to your trunk to give them away. Clothes weigh a lot.
ReplyDeletei think the last one is the best..were you watching me last week ;-p
ReplyDeleteM
What great advice
ReplyDelete*jots down several of your ideas*
thanks Jack!
50 lb coffee mug... BWAH HA HA HA HA! Your suggestions just kept getting better and better! I would only add "concrete tennis shoes"... I've heard they work better than Shape Ups.
ReplyDeleteI now have visions of a couple trying to have sex on all manner of gym machines!
ReplyDeleteGod knows that bending over to pick a pen off the floor is the closest I came to ever getting an ab work out. Actually turned into cardio as I ran to the bathroom to change my torn pants too.
ReplyDeleteYou are the best cure for a MONDAY!
ReplyDeleteand this, my friends, is why Al Gore invented the internet. Jack, you rock my world!
