i, like most people i know, actually and not so secretly detest working out. i do it anyway because i want a perfect body, i want a perfect soul. but, i'm a creep. no, seriously, i fight myself with every mile i jog and every 15 minute ab sesh that drags on. i need serious rewards and incentive to accomplish my physical fitness goals. i found a neat free app for my iDevices! it is called nike trainer. there are four categories: get lean, get toned, get strong and get focused. each have a dozen or so 15 minute workouts. the "trainer" counts the seconds for you and let's you know what workout your doing next. there are cutesy "rewards" for every 60 minutes you've spent torturing yourself. sometimes those rewards are actually gratifying, since results on ones own body can take upward of 17,000 years to see. with nike trainer, you are able to listen to your playlist with flawless transition.

in summation:

i am driven by incentives.

i love music.

I rather dislike exerting unnatural amounts of energy unless the result is immediate six pack abs.

i'm partial to nike.

i'm a materialistic 'merican. shiiiiiiit.

mundane task of working out

you can feel the release of frustration, the contempt for the machines and the collective insecurities as you walk though the gym. this gym is busy and that works for me. i need to pretend someone is judging me and that makes me want to work harder. if i feel no pressure i am not in a routine so i naturally pick the path of least resistance. is that possible at a gym?

i warmed up on a super elliptical. one that yells at you when your heart rate goes below it's best potential for a work out. i stayed on that bitch for 28 minutes. it took me up a hill. the pretty faced girls around me read magazines about how the duchess of cambridge wears the perfect clothes, and how somebody got liposuction. as they probably lost themselves in a television like place. i lost myself in my own little world of music and endorphins. i have said this before but i enjoy any activity that allows me to listen to music.
