Old men on the exercise bike in nothing but tighty whities and black dress socks (true story). There are lots of reasons why people avoid the gym. Frankly, there are probably more reasons to skip the gym than to go. (Thankfully the …
She may look like an abusive boyfriend but really this is the face of love. My cheeks hurt after my workout this morning. And yes, I know after all the discussion about Toilet Sore around here as of late you all are assuming my butt cheeks are sore. (Okay, they are. They still really really …
I love a good Do-It-Yourself project! You should never let a good pair of used undies go to waste. Rowing until we (nearly) puked. Chest pressing our body weight (because we totally weigh 65 pounds). CrossFit’s workout of the day for today would have been bad enough all on its own. But our gym upped …
