Abs for the Sedentary

There once was a gym teacher, Hank

Who I for one think we should thank.

He said, “Movement is bad

“And it makes me sad”

And so he invented the plank.

We’ll Start Next Year

Two days left to go

Of this wild and crazy year…

Peaceful at the gym

Running In The Family?

Would it be awful

If I ate a waffle

Instead of nutrition for dinner?

Not so, my lad!

No, a waffle ain’t bad

But you’ll have to work hard to get thinner.

Would it be ok

If I sat for a day

And watched TV and ate cheese?

Sure, sloth is fun

If you go for a run

To make sure you don’t get obese.

Thanks dad. You’re wise!

I guess me and the guys

Will eat waffles and cheese and relax,

Then we’ll go for a run

When the vegging is done

So our bellies don’t spill from our slacks!

Hey son, I see

Your weight starts with a three

And is neither four digits nor two.

Yeah dad, turns out

Running didn’t work out

But at least now I look more like you!

Do You Have A One, A Two, A Three, A Moment?

I want to start an exercise trend

Where you walk through your neighborhood

Knocking on doors and running away

And pretending you’re misunderstood.

Part of this program is selling the plan

To neighbors you happen to witness

And all exercise that’s not this are just lies.

I call this “Jehovah’s Fitness”.

Burn Those Calories!

I once had a buddy named Roddy

Whose fitness routine was shoddy.

His plan, as he stated,

Was to just be cremated

And end up with a smokin’ hot body.

Intermittent Fasting

Marketing has accomplished

Another monumental feat:

I see people saying “Pay us

“And in return, don’t eat.”

The Masculine Dilemma

I could pay money every month

To have access to a gym

Where I lift heavy objects

To feel pain within my limb

And when the lifting’s over

I can climb or bike or run

On a machine that makes it possible

To never feel done

Then I can take my clothes off

In a public locker room

And eat vegetables for breakfast…

Or I can stay home and play Doom.

Plus Now The Taxidermist Has An Amazing Story!

Jen lost ten pounds through exercise.

Steve lost twenty by changing his diet.

I lost sixty pounds when my tapeworm came out

But Jen and Steve are too chicken to try it.

Realistic Fitness Goals

I went back to the gym today,

Got my badge, and paid my way

So I can flex my body parts

That got flabby ‘cause I do arts.

I will go at least once more

‘Cause I paid for months-comma-four.

I’ll get my Summer body, y’all

Just in time for the start of Fall!

I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CHARGE TO MAKE ME FEEL HEALTHY WHILE I DO NOTHING!

There was a time without taxes,

A time without corporate spying,

And if you believe the Bible there was

A time without even dying.

But one timeless thing that has always been

Through every era and age

Is that no gym will ever show

Non-promotional prices on their front page.
