So, by now you may have figured that I have some faults:
I am not a literal user of the word ‘literally’
I don’t have the kind of smarty pants that allow me to be
funny yet irreverent – I just do funny and sarky . . . I blame my father, I was genetically
engineered that way
I am a jug over-boilerer (kettle if you’re in another part
of the world) - yes, I turn it on to
make me a cuppa and get caught up doing something else, so I have to re-boil,
and while Im waiting, I go do something else . . . well, you get the
picture. No, it’s not Alzheimers (no
need for you to be a smart arse aswell) . .
Im just easily distracted (no ADHD quips either!)
And I don’t go in for the – this is what we have determined
this sentiment/instruction/concept/whateverelseyouwannaadd to mean . . . so
that is how it has to be done ethos
(I never promised coherence, just info . . . bear with, it will all become as clear
as a grey days sunshine)
Take INCIDENTAL EXERCISE for instance.
If you are on the blobby side (ie. If your back fat keeps
moving when you’ve already stopped), then upping your Incidental exercise quota is a good way
of increasing calorie burn.
A lot of people talk about everyday activities like the
vacuuming and dusting being Incidental Exercise. Ummmmm, find me a yellow brick road, call me
a scarecrow and find my missing brain . . . but shouldn’t you be doing your
chores anyway??? Or if you’re like me,
you prefer someone else coming in and dealing with the dirt (I fully believe
some people have a calling to dust and polish, and I feel it is only fair to
assist them in fulfilling that calling).
(ssssshhhhhhh, more on a wee you tube clip on this to come).
Or they will suggest taking the stairs instead of the lift –
yes, that’s a good one, and pretty much a no brainer.
How about parking your car further from the entrance of the
supermarket?
Say what???
The problem I have with this kind of stuff, is that unless
you’re the size of a heifer that’s about to calf (for non country folks – that’s
a big cow that’s about to give birth . . . see dictionary entry for humungous),
then this type of stuff ‘aint gonna do a dang thing’ . . .
. . . or you’re
simply not going to do a lot of it.
I can hear you now – “really,
park my vehicle farther from my deli, what ridiculousness! What should happen if precipitation doest
occur, whilst I am acquiring the perfect piece of Gouda. Whatever would become of my up-do if I was
forced to depart said deli, for my vehicle, in a haze of rain?”
But, wait for it . . .
. . .
. . . (believe me, this is worthy of a long pause) . . .
I’m going to help you lose weight while you watch TV!! Yes, I is!!!
I am so genius sometimes I scare myself!!!!
And here is how:
Take you’re fav TV show, and develop a wee system, where
when certain things happen in said show, you do a certain exercise . .
A little like this . . .
Yes, everyone needs a little Revenge adventure in their lives.
Pick exercises that you are capable of doing, and a number
of repetitions that won’t be too difficult – or make it something just plain
old fun - you could do 10 bootay circles zumba styles
for one lot, or 20 running mans LMAO –
Shufflin styles . . .
. . . remember this isn’t your daily work-out, it’s just something
to help increase your calorie expenditure, (besides, you probably don’t want to
be exercising for the entire hour of your Revenge fix, when there's a certain gorgeous bar-man to be looking at).
Have your work-out print-out sitting right next to you on
the couch, so there’s no escaping from it . . . and then go about following it! (clue - this is the important part).
The beauty of this, is that you can utilise the idea for any
television program, film or even a book you might be reading.
When you get to the stage where you want to up-the-ante a
little, put in the odd AB-break (that’s where you do a few crunches during the
ads) . . . *sighs* genius!
. . . and yellow brick road to a less podgier you, here you
come!
So, that’s my Incidental Exercise – Revenge styles . . .
Of course, there are a few other things that I believe count
towards Incidental exercise aswell . . .
You know, like table-top dancing whilst singing ‘Moves like
Jagger’ (ohhhhh Maroon 5, *drools*) . .
. but I don’t do that . . .
