We’ve all been here. When we’re about to leave the house to do some errands or maybe we want to go to the gym, when suddenly a stupidly adorable scene grabs our attention: a four-legged friend has managed to make his way into our bag. This little critter is so cute we don’t dare move him.
If you’re anything like us, you love it when your cat decides to lie down on your things. Even though it can be annoying when you’re trying to do other things, like going to the gym. Usually, a cat may sit on your bag or lap when they don’t want you to leave.
Channeling Conan the Barbarian
Have you ever seen a full-grown adult wearing a scantily-clad costume and thought: "Jeez, how could they possibly have the overinflated ego and awkwardly grandiose sense of self-worth needed to wear that in public? Have they no shame?!" Welcome to the gym. It's been waiting for you. For better, or worse.
If you've ever seen the movie then you'll know this guy is trying to channel the main character from the movie "Conan the Barbarian." Is this guy getting ripped so he can get vengeance for the death of his parents or does he just want to maintain his muscular physique?
Golden Girls
Your “I can't exercise” excuse doesn't seem as valid when you see a room full of elderly ladies lifting dumbbells. Who said you had to be young to start working out and getting fit? If anything, these golden girls are showing us it's never too late to get in shape.
Now stop whining about exercise like you’re a toddler (toddlers actually love exercise, by the way), suck it up, and accept your fate. If you value yourself at all, you’ll start treating exercise like a necessary appointment for your health regardless of how old you are or how you feel about it.
Well, What's This About?
We've all heard of yoga and how it has so many health benefits. So if you still haven't tried it, you're probably on the fence. On the one hand, it would be nice to get a workout and learn to relax, but on the other, this photo isn't exactly inviting.
From the looks of this photo found online, this yoga class looks like we would be joining a soft cult that will make us start chanting and ohming with essential oils while lying on top of a yoga block with our eyes blindfolded. No wonder everyone thinks yoga people are weird!
Treadwheel
Sir William Cubitt developed the exercise equipment which later evolved into the treadmill. Terming it the “treadwheel”, this was actually, initially, a torture device! Basically, it resembles a water wheel, but instead of water powering it, humans would tread on it and cause it to turn.
Rather than just being for physical exertion to improve physical condition, this treadwheel was designed to also power certain machines and devices. It was an intense workout but at least it also had another purpose. Sounds pretty cruel to us. And we joke that treadmills are torture devices these days…
