If you read this without laughing out loud, there is something wrong with you. This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine.

Over doing an exercise program at first is the most common reason people give up on them.

Start slow work your way up.

Where do I send the bill? (To repair my monitor after the coffee damage that was the direct result of reading this)

Wow. I remember this one from the early or mid 1990’s. Is it still being passed around?

Understand this is humor, but as a general rule never work with a trainer who is more than 20 years younger than you are.

LOL, my brother had one that I think he put 400K miles on...it was like one of those poor cats that begins to lose its fur as it gets old...it was all rusty...same color as the one in the link!

He loved that car...but at some point, I think the frame was in danger of rusting through and the car breaking in half!

I ended up hating my trainer but I did get to the point where I could do one pull up and five pushups. Noe I just walk and chop brush on our farm. After two months of winter weather I’m winded from making the bed. 😕

I can’t believe someone got it in an email. I haven’t gotten a viral email joke in almost a decade. All I get are scams now. I used to get the Neiman Marcus cookie email every two days back in the 90’s.

Hehe. This is the first time I’ve this bit. Very nice. I hate exercising and despise the joggers and bike dorks decked out in their “I’m better than you, aren’t I?!” gear. Instead, I walk 8 miles a day while drinking whiskey and soda or beer out of a can while listening to conservative or history podcasts. It works, and I can see the world go by at a slower pace than bikers or joggers with their silly outfits.

Yikes, we are getting old when you have to explain what a Geo is! The fable also mentions a "planner." How many have actually seen or used one?

There's a reference to "Lycra" gym wear, another oldie but goodie and him drinking a "pot of coffee." How many youngsters have heard of a "pot of coffee"? These days, it would be "I drank TWO Triple, Venti, Half Sweet, Non-Fat, Caramel Macchiatos."

Most of it is timeless, though. How many other anachronisms are in there?
