Jesus that iJoy Ride is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen! I am getting very sick of companies who can’t think of a way to make their product sound fresh and exciting – “Oh I know let’s just put an ‘i’ in front for no other reason than it might make people think of iPod’s which are nice and shiny!”
So how is a large vibrating stool supposed to get you fit exactly and who the hell falls for this crap! I think I’m just angry cause it’s Monday.
So Tabata Something Else, hmmm that should be…interesting!
Pixie, you’re missing the pure genius of your rant and the obvious opportunity there. My new, patented product? iOverhead Squats with the new eBarbell. It works your core, stabilizers, six pack, obliques, abs and midsection, all at once! It even works those ‘problem areas’ including your thighs and butt. So easy you can do it in your livingroom while watching the game! Just use our patented iBumper Plates and “Hard Core Olympic Platform” and you’re on your way to a new level of fitness!
Kyle – what a salesman!!!
Anywho, who wants to own the gym Thursday night? Basically I’ll need someone who can take the keys/zapper off me on Wed night, and open up Thurs at 7pm. They can then drop the keys back to my house and Fri and Sat morning sessions can go ahead.
I Joy Ride is ONLY £399.00. What a bargain!!!!
Here’s a better idea. Take those ab shocker things, that you bought from the same channel for £59.99 plus P&P, that you dont really use coz you used them for 9 hours one day and pulled a hernia, and you saw a program that said they cause blindness in adults aged 18-75… strap one to your head, another to your balls and repeat 200 times –
“I will not buy stupid shit off the tv ever again”
How about this assorted crap, gathered in one place for our viewing pleausure: http://www.cracked.com/article_16104_sticks-stools-7-random-objects-sold-as-exercise-machines.html.
On a more serious note did last friday’s wod in 13:20, with 40kg push jerks
do you need to wear a riding hat and boots?
and is it just me or is it slightly pervy?
Yeah Davie, I was amazed that this was serious when I saw it on TV yesterday.
Anyway, before I make another internet ordering blunder. For CFJ subscribers, I’m gonna but the Colonel’s book. Does anyone want a copy? Perhaps we could save on shipping.
I’ll get down on that.
Joy Ride? Yeah, I think they may just be playing up the perversion just a little bit on that one. So let’s test my understanding of the Irish turn of phrase. I’d say naming that thing the iJoy Ride is taking a piss (not taking THE piss).
What book is this?
Hi Will, is this a good thing to eat do you think – meant to be mega:

Kyle you truly are an amazing salesman. I’m definitely taking the rights to the iSitup, iPressUp and the ilifting Big Heavy Shit – quick, no fuss and proven results!
Lisa – the all important follow-up question is: good compared to what?
It’s probably better than standard-issue ice cream, but worse than meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar.
Ah Will come on you are an angel! I meant as a cheat type thing
The way I see it, if you’re going to treat yourself and have ice-cream you might as well go the whole hog and have Ben & Jerry’s (preferably the cookie dough flavour, obviously).
If I were you I’d do that too
its a bit different when you are 3 feet tall.

Completely agree with Ruairi actually. If you’re gonna have a cheat meal (a) make sure it’s really bloody good and (b) don’t keep it in your house.
Willpower does not exist at 11:00pm when you’re wandering around your kitchen feeling hungry, so having things sitting tempting you is a bad plan.
A lot of people have been very succesful with hardcore Zoning monday through friday and then kicking their heels up a little at the weekend. The other strategy, which I prefer, is to just declare an occasional cheat day whenever some semi-significant social event is happening (or whenever my mother cooks fajitas). As long as this doesn’t start happening more than 4 times a month, you’re golden.
A commonly employed strategy, which does not work, is coming home and saying “hmmm, I feel like a cheat meal…”
