7 Essential Exercises

Jimmy — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 11:05:52 +0000

Being a lazy sort of chap by nature, I’m all in favour of making sure that any exercise I do is as efficient (and therefore as short) as possible. If you’re going to go to the effort of getting all sweaty and tired then you might as well be doing it correctly so it actually has a long term benefit.

There is a good article here about designing your own exercise program using seven essential moves – seems to make sense to me. Check it out, and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

It seems that a while ago, this domain was used by for a site about fundraising for charity. I don’t know what happened to the site, I just registered this address as it was available so I guess they decided not to keep it going. However, I did find this link so if you’re feeling generous I’d suggest you donate through there or if you know anything more then please get in touch.

Take the Marine Corps fitness test

Jimmy — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:20:16 +0000

The Art of Manliness has a good article about assessing your current level of physical fitness by using the Marine Corps fitness test. The test involves performing pull-ups, crunches and a three mile run in order to measure your abilities. I could explain it further, but why bother when you can just check it out on their site?

For the full effect, why not get a friend to bellow obscenities at you while you work?

If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?
