Everyone and their mother does P90 or the more extreme version, P90x. But I recommend the even more extreme “Insanity”, you know, if you hate yourself. They’re pretty good workouts.
Still, in the workout world, weird diets and exercises pop up all the time. Any kind of liquid diet, for example, or the Shake Weight. However, none of those strange workouts are as creepy as this ab-centric one. Watching these people laugh their way through lunges is disturbing. I understand the concept; laughing forces the abdomen to contract and during exercise it will make the muscles work harder for more gain. That doesn’t stop it from being ridiculously creepy. However, there is a pay-off; Watch the woman’s face at the end of the video. The unpleasant wait is somewhat worth it.
I often imagine Stephen makes the staff do this every morning…
Worst cult since Heaven’s Gate…and I think they have the same shoes.
Remember The Man Show on Comedy Central? Adam Carolla & Jimmy Kimmel objectifying women, fart jokes, midgets, etc.?
Anyway, they had a segment once where they pitched a fitness fad: The Don’t Eat So Damn Much Diet. …which was, I think, the most trenchant observation to come from that show.
Here we have a corollary: if you didn’t eat so damn much you wouldn’t have to stand in a field, bending one way or another while forcing laughter.
“A Twinkie is HOW many minutes of making an ass out of myself while trying to laugh? Fuck, nevermind.
Pass the kale.”
Very Tim and Eric.
