So a lot of you on here complain that exercise is not so fun ackshully.
Pardon the cheezburger speakeths.
So whatevs. Anyway, I know I don’t have room to try to tell you guys anything right now, after all, I totally haven’t been a good exerciser lately. I’ve been sleeping really late and staying up really late ever since my surgery about a month ago. And I started to write a post about that, but then I got meh…. but that’s not what I’m here to tell you about.
I’ll get back on track. It’s just a matter of motivation. And when my doctor tells me it’s okay to go back to rigorous exercising.
SO! The moral of the story… making exercise not only something you have to do, but something you want to do. Is it even possible?
Yes. Yes, it is. And here’s how…
First of all, remember the zombie apocalypse. This is the most important reason one needs to work out and get in shape. Secondly, remember to have good music. This is important to give you a soundtrack for the illusion. Thirdly, give yourself a cool superhero name.
Mine is Christina The Crusher. Well, okay, I’m a supervillain, but whatever. We can’t all be heroes. Some of us have to be the bad guys and girls.
From there, create an elaborate world while you’re working out where you either save the day or wreak havoc. This can go for anything.
On the treadmill? No you’re not. You’re chasing after a supervillain who runs really, really fast.
On the stair stepper? Nope. You’re crushing skyscrapers with your massive feet. Because you’re a freaking behemoth of a monster.
Lifting weights? Not at all. Really, you’re lifting up a car to throw at your adversary.
And it’s really just as easy as that. Of course, it could cause delusions of grandeur. But I’m really not responsible for psychological malfunctions caused by my posts. Seriously. That’s my disclaimer. Take it or leave it, but don’t sue me for psychiatric bills.

BWAHAHA! I love this. And it’s actually a really great idea, because my treadmill runs sometimes get super boring. I will be trying this out.

This made my whole day. I love it! I will definitely be using the super hero thing on my next run. I just wish I had workout clothes that made me look like a super hero/villain!

Okay… now we just need to create a superhero/villain playlist. AMAZING.

@Tabitha: You’re welcome.
@Becky: Superhero/villain work out clothes? All you need is something super skimpy or super black. Lol. That covers both ends of the spectrum.
@LiLu: I smell a super follow-up playlist post brewing now.

I like workouts that incorporate a lot of punching and kicking. I pretend I’m punching my enemies in the face. It is doing wonders for my biceps and thighs.
The only problem is I do worry that next time I SEE said enemies I may on reflex punch them in the face. Which would be oh so satisfying. But would probably get me arrested . . .
