Friday Fun: Exercise and Diet


Trying to get healthy?
Since nobody really likes
paying attention to diet and exercise …

Let’s laugh the whole thing off

Quick Intro before we get to the Funnies

My previous weight-themed Friday Funny was so well-received, I think I’ll see if we can get a bit more smileage by revisiting the topic from a slightly different perspective: exercise and diet.  Groan!

Running, jogging, power walking, treadmills, weights and more.

Handball, Zumba, spinning or gymnastics — boxing, hiking, climbing.

Soccer, softball, swimming, skiing, tennis, even volleyball . . .

um, skate-boarding anyone?

As one female comic put it, quite a few years ago now:

“Call it anything you like.
I call it GYM.
I don’t have to go anymore and I don’t.”

Let’s take a look at the perspective of a few more diet and exercise-averse comics that I tripped across on Pinterest.

How many of the situations below make YOU nod your head?

YOU PLAY TOO

If you have something on your website or blog that relates to the theme, especially if it’s humorous, please feel free to leave a link in a comment. Keep it to one link per comment or you’ll be auto-spammed, but multiple comments are just fine and most welcome.

AND NOW for some more humor TODAY . . .

This Friday’s theme: Exercise & Diet

Reflections on the Gym . . .

On Jogging or Running . . .

 

Something Else, perhaps?

 

So how do you feel about your body?


 

 

Eating healthy?

 

 

Perspective: NO explanation needed

Th-th-th-at’s all folks!
SEE YOU NEXT TIME

Funnies post only occasionally

Reminding you of what I disclosed in the introduction to this series, Funnies about Perspective: unlike the ongoing Sunday Smiles and Monday Funnies you’ll find on Chris The Story Reading Ape’s Blog, my Friday Funnies will show up only occasionally, usually clustered around a theme.

If things seem to have gotten a tad serious in the world – or on ADDandSoMuchMORE.com – get ready for another hit of humor, most likely another Friday Funny.

Don’t forget: The next Group Coaching is enrolling NOW.

This low-cost format is designed especially to support anyone who would like a bit of professional coaching when money is tight.

  5. Such a great posting Madelyn. Each clip brought belly laughs. So many I could relate to from in the gym. the research you had to do finding these is amazing. Thank you for doing so and brightening up the day for us.

  6. These are so funny, Madelyn. I am lucky, I am pretty small and I only go to Pilates once a week [and that is an effort]. I think it is really tough for people who enjoy food to diet.

    • Funny you should think being small gives you an advantage. I have always said that being tall gave me an advantage – I could eat more without gaining weight. 🙂

      I’m a BIG fan of pilates. I saved for almost a year to buy myself a transformer – my Christmas present to myself shortly before I was mugged. It was, unfortunately, stolen shortly after it arrived because I couldn’t unpack it much less use it (or even move by myself) 😦

      The more I read the more aware I am of metabolic disorders (or glitches in the brain) that leave many folks feeling hunger pangs more acutely than the rest of us. Yes, the rise in junk food contributes – but I also know people who eat a lot of junk and remain relatively slim too.

      I have always been one of those people who forget to eat until feelings of light-headedness remind me I must – a double-edged sword, however.

    Here’s two quickies: I just ran for five miles – what a workout. I was beginning to think that ice cream truck would NEVER stop. 😀

    and: Whenever i finish my workout i think – W T F !

  8. Funny funnies! Just a little note: did you know that 15 minutes of sex burns as many calories as 1 hour of walking or 30 minutes of swimming? Save time!

  17. I miss the gym…..I went 3-4 times a week before my stroke and noticed lots of subtle differences. But I must say, you really hit the jack-pot with this lot!

    • Thanks, Helen. There seem to be a bunch of them out there. I finally just had to stop and post.

      I was a gym rat for many years myself – especially when I was in sho-biz and appearance was so important if one expected to land work – not to mention staying in excellent shape to be able to DO the work (especially for dance shows). I loved the way it made me feel.

      My reasons for not being one now are different from yours, but I know how much I miss it, so I can empathize.
