Here is the secret: Eat Less. Exercise is critical to one's health. Exercise is not he critical component to weight loss.Until now I had never exposed the secret to successful exercise...
Once again, there is no secret. I believe the slogan from Nike said it quite well nearly 20 years ago, in 1988.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the hours I have spent on treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines and StairMaster machines over these past 6 months while discovering and re-discovering all the music that I enjoyed (and never stopped) enjoying since I was in high school. In coming weeks, I am going to discuss some of the great music from some of the great classic rock bands that have been providing the soundtrack to my exercise regiment.
Yesterday, I wanted to see if I could replicate my 2 hours on the Precor EFX 576i Cross Trainer and perhaps log a 10 mile session. I did something different to distract me from the repetitive nature of taking 10000+ steps during the course of a two hour workout. I brought my iPad to the gym and synced it with my Bluetooth headphones (for the first time) and watched two continuous hours of...
...CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM was a show that was broadcast only on HBO. Although I have never in my life subscribed to HBO - CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM quickly became my absolute all-time favorite television show ever. I own all 80 episodes digitally on my iPad. Usually I only watch them during downtime at airports or during flights. CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is surely the FUNNIEST SHOW that has ever (or likely will ever) be produced. It finds comedy in a lot of areas that don't often get discussed in polite conversation. I am sure it is NOT a show that I would enjoy watching with my Mom for example. (Still I recommend that my Mom watch it - and I dare her (or anybody) to tell me that it is NOT hilarious.) Wait a moment....that's not good enough... I double dare you! So what is the point of my telling you this? Yesterday at the YMCA while I was watching two consecutive hours of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM while I was having a 1500+ calorie workout on the Precor EFX 576i Cross Trainer, time went so fast that my workout stopped suddenly. I thought that there was something wrong with the programming of the time that I had set. Turns out there was no problem, I simply was so engaged in the CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM episodes that I lost track of the time elapsed and I DID SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE ANOTHER TWO HOUR WORKOUT. I didn't quite reach my goal of logging 10 miles as I 'only' logged 9.87 miles.
Still after this workout... (as all 'Curb' fans can imagine...)
I felt pretty, pretty, pretty...pretty good!

| I was so pumped after my two hour workout - that I was not prepared to call it a day. I jumped on the rowing machine for just 15 minutes and logged a 15 minute 165 calorie workout. BUT AFTER THAT, I WAS TRULY EXHAUSTED. AND IT FELT ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC! |
Listen this small number of random photos from the series do not do the show justice. I promise you there is nothing funnier that has ever been produced. Larry David created Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. If you liked Seinfeld - try to imagine a show way, way funnier. (I know that that would be difficult - but it is true!)
These were the 4 episodes I watched from Season 4. It would matter not which four episodes I watched...The show is unbelievably funny. Whether these synopses sound funny or not - I don't know - I only know that they are funny when you watch them play out over a 30 minute episode.
