The Damage Control Master Formula Office of Doom

It must the warming weather, but people at the office have started to pick up the trend of working out during breaks.

There are several of us now that take about 10 minutes of our lunch break to do yoga together. Power yoga! What an oximoron. It’s really basically just stretching, but it’s nice to have a group of people to do the stretching with.

In other news, I switched gyms recently, and I’m already thinking of switching back.

My old gym was one of those “Philadelphia” gyms. A bunch of beefy guys a bunch of wobbly mirrors, a bunch of free weights, and a bunch of sweat (it’s okay to be a beefy woman at one of these beefy gyms).

The new gym I’ve been going to for the last few weeks is a “Los Angeles” gym. It’s sleek, sexy, there’s boxercising for women, or I should say for girls, because all the ladies there are crisp, thin gazelles with wonderful gams. Sometimes it’s just too much to take. I’ve been trying to keep up, but I just feel a little intimidated at times. Oh well, if you can’t beat ‘em, run with ‘em. At least I don’t have orthorexia!

On another note, I found a website that helps me/you with how to find someone on the internet. It’s handy.

The gym I go to occasionally is filled with people who do walking stretches. They look very odd in their leotards and jockey shorts squatting down the hallways with weights in their hands. They walk the way I imagine velociraptors might, low to the ground, with an awkward bounce, yet balanced.

I guess something about the leotards is supposed to signify that these people are graceful, this is the way we’re SUPPOSED to stretch, but I don’t buy it. I think it’s an attention exercise.

There are plenty of attention exercises out there. Attention exercises don’t necessarily do much for your cardiovascular system or improve your muscle tone or strength, they are primarily invented for people with hot bodies to show off at the gym.

There’s a butt tuck thing I’ve seen women doing repetitively at the gym I go to. They always do this butt tuck in front of the weight sets (where the bulkiest of meatheads cluster) and the butt tuck doesn’t tuck the butt as much as wave it ferociously at the men behind it. I’m not a ferocious butt wiggler, so I don’t approve.

The man thrust is another useless exercise meant to display a man’s….well, his thrusting ability. The man thrust is sort of a reverse sit-up. I believe it works the back muscles, or maybe the abs, but it simulates the exact same motion as….you’ve figured it out.

Anyway, what I’d like to see, is someone doing the man thrust, the butt tuck, or the velociraptor walk in the hallway of an office or administrative building. Probably not as sexy outside the gym.

That’s my rant for the day; now for my links:
The vitamin shop isn’t actually a vitamin shop, it’s just a health blog, but a decent one.
Vitamins Online is a hubpage, not a blog, just a little sheet of information.
Omega 3 capsules is a link to a great vitamin website. Somewhere to get not only fish oils, but other sorts of multivitamins as well.

Until next time, keep on stretching!
