*German comes into the room wearing lingerie, knee sleeves, and a lever belt. As she straddles me she whispers in my ear "yeah buddy".

Thats odd. She uses the ā€œainā€™t nothin but a peanutā€ line with me. I wonder why...

Not a standard cardio fan. It is necessary so we do what I have to do. Although as a powerlifter who loves to eat, I do alternatives like pushing and pulling a 500lb sled, kettlebells swings, flipping a 500-700 pound tire in the dirt. Kinda of a GPP style approach rather then sitting on a bike or treadmill. Works for me

The more I think how much I hate cardio the more I try to get out of doing it. I just remember being obese, then get it done and move on.

I take that time to learn some new stuff on youtube. I have no internet at home so my time on the elliptical is the best time to get some education in.

Right now I'm learning the basics of how to draw. :)

I'm not good by any means, but I want to be. Seeing progress towards the next milestone keeps me looking forward to my time on the elliptical.

Right now I walk, a lot. I eat my food during the day and use my lunch break to walk the neighborhood. I try to get in the pool as much as possible too, especially since Iā€™ll be closing it again soon for the winter. Probably gonna join a new gym shortly that has one. Swimming is one of my favorite ways to get cardio in.

Vigorous sex is definitely another good one.

Guess i will start with like 10-15 min sessions and work my way up.... Jumped i a soccer game this weekend at the company picnic after 10 minutes i thought i was getting stabbed in my side under my rib cage.... This is going to take a long time lol the first step into a long journey is always the hardest.

1) do whatever your knees can tolerate

2) make it bearable by doing it from a place where you can watch girls in yoga pants.
