    :D great thread.

    Anyways even my most hated exercises (yoga I'm talking about you), they have their benefits. But damn is it so boring.

    Weight lifting: because I never stick with it long enough to change my body. It's boring and I'm lazy.

    Ruh roh. You don't even want to know what I'm think that is. I'm at work and afraid to google it.

    What exercise do you think is pointless or does little change to your body??

    Any exercise which is not challenging any muscle to "do more" or your brain to "do more" can be pointless in doing little to change your body. Even free weights, used ineffectively, are almost pointless, although better than nothing at all.

    You're exactly right... It was a SNL or MadTV Sketch based on a variant of the shakeweight

    My mother years ago had a pully set tied to a doorknob. The rope went from your wrist to the pulley and back to your ankle. You would move your arm to raise your leg and vise versa.

    that sounds great, actually. but it sounds great because the last time i went for a massage/bodywork, i was introduced to the incredible nirvana of 'joint distraction'.

    it made me wish i was stinking rich so i could pay someone to just follow me around and gently yank on most of my joints five or six times a day.

    . . . oh. yeah. my security software won't let me see whatever that was, but i just re-parsed that last post in my own head and i think i can guess.

    does it say 'that's what he said?' because if it doesn't i'll be disappointed.

    I think you have to wear the full 1980s spandex exercise gear to get the right effect.
