Working out after surgery


Your problem isn't too much food...it's too much money. Here's what I did...got laid off from my job and decided to drink too much beer with my free time and extra money from the severance pay. I went from 220 to 250 in less than six months and thought I was healthy...

Soo...severance pay runs out, I get a part time job that pays minimum wage...suddenly I'm not drinking much and running away from bill collectors builds my cardio. I'm pushing my luck daily and manage to get a 95 Suzuki to fry it's head and pop a cork so I have to spend my lottery and beer money on finishing the Ranger.

My part time job goes Kaput and I can't find a job...start getting Employment Insurance that pays just enough to piss everyone off and not enough to pay anything off...my diet suffers...I quit drinking beer almost completely (except the free ones I was finding on the side of the road...you'd be amazed how much beer kids throw away on weekends)...I'm walking about ten K's a day looking for beer cans and bottles in the ditches...excellent cardio and I find enough to put gas in the truck...sometimes enough to buy some tobacco that I roll my own...great cardio there too...EI runs out and I happen to get into a program to start my own business...

Now I've started my own business and get daily workouts lifting other people's junk onto my Ranger (I can tailgate press a fridge in twenty seconds)...then I drive to a nice park and tear apart BBQ's strip copper wire and rearrange my junk before the final workout of driving to the salvage yard and seeing how far I can toss the heaviest piece of metal in my truck. I've managed to do about 30 foot shotput with a 4 pound burner from an old BBQ and I think I set the junkyard record for heaving a fridge three feet...OK, it was a small beer fridge...

I'm in better shape now...lost about 60 Lbs and dropped two inches on my waist (I was a 40, but now a 38)...

And...I've grown a mustache to help keep my face warm when scrounging for metal...

Poverty may suck, but you can be healthier from it...

Yea, yea, yea............a mustache?
 
You gotta have a 'stache to be a porn star.

Lots of good core exercises in that field.

How does 30 seconds of exercise help your core strength? Um, Um........I mean 2 hours of pulse pounding debochery.........ok, 30 seconds.............damn!

Still better than 20 mins. on the treadmill.
 
I think the thing that has done the most for my fitness is, I got a recliner with a handle on each side.

^^^Kinda like a rowing machine.
Swimming is a good workout and easy on the joints. And there can be lots of good underwater visuals.

whyyyyyyyyyyyyy...speaking of join......uhhhhhh.....underwater visuals...that reminds me of a Nam war story....back in 00-72, we were flying along the beach near.....(i forgot)...where all the whor......prostitutes sunbath...when something caught my eye in the water about 100 feet off the beach....at first I thought it was an original Cobra.....helicopter that had been shot down years before-but had never been recovered....but then......the back end of it started to move left and right slowly....why.....it was a shark.....a large, large shark (& I never did drugs either).....

i really think i'm gonna start an exercise program.....

I don't think you need to work out. Your mind is running fast enough to keep you in shape.

With all the health problems you've had what are you up to now? About 80 lbs?
 
I don't think you need to work out. Your mind is running fast enough to keep you in shape. that was true for 35 years, Capt Jay.

why...spank-you for asking...



that reminds me of a wa...............no....wrong story. Anyhow, when i got out of Nam, I lost 40 pounds--down to 120 soaking dry...went up & down on the scales until i finally gave in after 35 years, and let them put me on meds. I've gave...(what the ???)....GAINED the 40 pounds back, but it's all fluff....waaaahahhahaaaa.

I finally got up the nerve to do some target practice with my newly purchased old Win 30-30 lever action....everything went pretty good after I got over the shakes from holding a loaded weapon....well...except for the two N.V.A. soldiers that ran thru the woods behind the target that I set up. I did not shoot them though.

the end.
 
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....i forgot....................but i itched and remembered.................i got a bad case od of red-bugs on my legs....but the good news is....

i think the residual Agent Orange in my bloodstream is killing them.


the end.

yeah, agent orange and red bugs...that should make a nice shade of purple...even though you don't mix non-primary colors...

Spray them with water and dish soap if the agent O isn't working on them...or...you could douse your legs with gas and light the suckers...and run like the dickens till the flames go out...

That should be enough cardio for you to get you to 70...or so...
