My Fitness Lists
July 7, 2009

I’ve been into making lists lately. Lists are good. They help you accomplish your goals. Write ‘em down, check ‘em off.
Sometimes, I find myself making other lists, silly lists, lists that don’t help get things crossed off my calendar any more than twindling my thumbs does.
But they do keep me off my husband’s case and out of my childrens’ FaceBook pages and hopefully the mental distraction will contribute in some future way towards the delay of my Alzheimer’s that will surely set in after all the non-organic produce that I’ve consumed in the past four decades.
See if you like my lists.
Like the following list of things that go well together, which led to a list of things that do not go well together which then led to a list of things that are unlikely good combos and then finally a list of trios of things that go well together.(Was that a list of my lists?)
Anyway here goes:
Things That Go Well Together
*Ice cream and hot fudge
*Men & women
*Patrick & Spongebob
*Porn & masturbation
*Rainy days & naps
*Sunny days & beaches
*Hammers & nails
*Piss & vinegar
and for my fitness matches-
*Upward dog and downward dog
*Push-ups & tricep dips
*Hot yoga & cold water
*Sprints & recoveries
*Pregnant ladies & aqua classes
*Sweaty men on fitness equipment & towels
*Obesity & Exercise
*High blood pressure & exercise
*Diabetes & exercise
*All other age-related illnesses & exercise
(Exercise WELL goes with more things than all the other individual things listed here on all my lists put together)
List of Things That Do NOT Go Well Together
*Drinking & driving
*Texting & driving
*Cravings & Losing weight
*Macs & PCs
Exercise-wise:
*Yoga & hangovers
*Pregnancy & bedrest
*Knee problems and running
*ADHD & yoga
*Binging & exercise
List of Unlikely Yet Good Combos
*Forest Gump & Jenny
*Clay Aiken & fatherhood
*Ex-lovers & restraining orders
*Biting & spanking
*Spinning & hangovers
*Depression & exercise
List of Good Trios
*Sex, drugs & Rock n Roll
*Father, Son & Holy Ghost
*Ask, believe & receive
*Mind, Body & Spirit(Ideally)
*shower, sh__, shave
and workout-wise:
*Abs, buns & thighs
*The words”3 more!2 more! Last one!”
*warm-up, workout, cool-down
*lose 5 ell-bees, gain 1 ell-bee, lose 2 ellbees
When I think of how exercise is the one thing that we can all do to stay younger for longer, it gets me very revved up. Exercise is free, it makes you feel better, it is good for your lungs, your heart, your brain (and your mind).It’s good for your sex life and your productivity and your patience and your dog.
All of the age-related illnesses that we read so much about, many of which are considered to be long-latency illnesses that come on over many years, can all be reduced through regular exercise over time.
