Exercising at work

[Mayfly]

I'm just glad I don't get "bat wings."

Have you ever seen the movie "Waiting" with Dane Cook? I can explain the term, but maybe someone else should.

Isn't the fact that the ball can slip or roll on you part of the point?
You have to slow the exercise down, forcing you to concentrate more on proper form, and you use other muscles to stabilize yourself, increasing the effectiveness of the workout.
I thought that was the point of using them.

Yes. You are exactly correct. The balls force you to work muscles in the core of your body to maintaine balance and form.

They are awesome. My wife said she wished she had one at our home desk and because of this thread, I think I will go buy one of the ball-chair things and hope the kids don't stab it to death.

Try this. Not that I do it, but it gives you a body core workout while you sit and type.

Who's got the biggest, balls of them all!!?!?!

We have a gym downstairs that a tiny percentage (count me in; it's free) use. Getting up and taking three-minute walks helps as well, as long as you don'r cruise by the vending machines.

My paper, too, has what has been termed a 'wellness bureau' that has free weights, elipticals, stationary bikes, treadmills and a small yoga/pilates/aerobics surface. It has a couple of small locker rooms and shower facilities, too.

But because it's 10 miles from home and my hours are evening, I just pay to use the local community rec center instead.

Does walking to the supply room to check for proofs or out into the hallway to the vending machine count?

I got big balls
Big ole balls
Big as grapefruits
Big as pumpkins
Yes sir, yes sir
And on my really good days
They swell to the size of small dogs
My balls are as big as small dogs

Well, it ain't braggin' if it's true
Yes sir, yes sir
It ain't braggin' if it's true
Mohammed Ali said that
Back when he was a young man
Back when he was Casius Clay
Before he fought too many fights
And left his brain inside the ring

Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods
Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods

I got a friend whose goal in life
Was to one day go down on Madonna
That's all he wanted
That was all
To one day go down on Madonna
And when my friend was thirty-four
He got his wish in Rome one night
He got to go down on Madonna
In Rome one night in some hotel
And ever since he's been depressed
'Cause life is **** from here on in
And all our friends just shake their heads
And say, "Too soon, too soon, too soon,
He went down on Madonna too soon
Too young, too young, too soon, too soon"

And it ain't braggin' if it's true
Yes sir, yes sir
It ain't braggin' if it's true
Mohammed Ali said that
Back when he was Casius Clay
Before he fought too many fights
And left his brain inside the ring

Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods
Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods

If certain girls don't look at you
It means that they like you a lot
If other girls don't look at you
It just means they're ignoring you
How can you know, how can you know?
Which is which, who's doing what?
I guess that you can ask 'em
Which one are you baby?
Do you like me or are you ignoring me?
Do you like me or are you ignoring me?
Do you like me or are you ignoring me?
And all you need to do that
Is one good pair of big balls
Balls as big as grapefruits
Balls as big as pumpkins
Balls as big as mine

But even though my balls are big
Sometimes i wish they were bigger
Even bigger
Big as the wheels on tractors
Big as the golden arches
Big as the Golden Gate Bridge
Big as the state of Kansas
Big as Mars and Jupiter
Big as the swing in Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods

Build Me Up Buttercup
The Foundations

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah dah dah)
I run to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time, and I'll make you happy
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah dah dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you happy
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

I-I-I need you-oo-oo more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

It might be called a Geek a Cycle, but it looks like a good way to get exercise while working at the desk.

Who's going to believe you, though, when you try to explain why you're breathing heavy during a phone interview?

One word: Kegels.

I can't do anything at work, but I won't miss more than two days a week at the most of hitting the gym. I usually end up working out for 1 1/2-2 hrs. That insanity has only come on recently though, so I'm sure I'll scale back one day.
