Ellipticals - Tools of the Devil

General


Every time I go to the gym the elliptical a call to me. "Don't worry." They say. "This time will be different. We'll be gentle." It always seems such a good idea. Low impact, hot sweaty chicks, upper body workout, almost like floating through a workout." But, no, every time is a god damn calamity. A while ago I waved at a friend, slipped off and pummelled myself in the nuts (this has actually happened several times). I always retreat to the picks or the track with a lower chance of maiming my groin. Well f me if today didn't seem like an elliptical kind of day. Sufficient it to say that after a good start I dropped my iPod and crushed it under the cycling elliptical wheels of doom.

I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.

I use it to look at pictures of cats and get in arguments with strangers.

Do you get the toilet tissue for him? Just wondering! 😉

God damn.

When I get the inclination, I speed walk on a treadmill at a 10% incline. None of that running nonsense -- that ruins the knees.

Nova Scotians walk like Welshmen. That's what's wrong.
