[Editor's note: SHEESHBYGOLLYDANGIT! In all of this Pride fuss, I totally neglected to launch this excellent blog post from Andy a few weeks back on 5/23. CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP. – KXM]
Listen, just because I've been walking around all week with, as Kate calls them, John McCain Arms doesn't mean I'm hating on the Fitness Challenge.
Exhibit A
In fact, not being able to lift my arms above my shoulders has focused my energy on the lower half of my body. So the legs and ass have been getting more love lately, and that's not so bad. Lots of lunges (ugh), lots of squats (double ugh) and lots of fake bike riding.
No really, they have these bikes with monitors where you can watch yourself biking through a virtual landscape. It's very video-game nerdy, and I likes. Because… I'm a nerd. Um, and the nerditude gets better, as you can see on the video below, you can "also ride around and catch dragons and coins for an allotted amount of time". Now that is some D&D, Renaissance Faire, Anne McCaffrey shit!
Hey, nerds gotta work out, too!
Anyway, I'll soon have legs like Ahnold.
Exhibit B
Why are my fitness metaphors Republicans? I need to go to the gym and work that shit out! Maybe I'll come back with a Rachel Maddow waistline.
Exhibit Q
Much better.
