Ugh. Working out is bad. Last time I did a heavy workout I ended up having to go to the ER.
And the chickens. Those damn chickens.

I have to start working out, or excerising. I need to get rid of this gut. I hate it :(

What have you done to be sent to the Emergency? :?

I'm a bodybuilder and work heavy all the time, but I have never injured myself because I'm really cautious. There's this idea that we must go through heavy weighs and if we not, we are not man. That's so silly. I have gained results and I'm happy with them. I work hard because it's funnier than playing light. And there's always a pal or an instructor for any heavier routine or an emergency, when a heavy weight is about to smash our chest or head. :D

Speaking of that, www.happytreefriends.com - one of the newest animated movies is about a mess happening at a gym. Quite cool. :-D

Did just enough to inflame the cartilidge on my ribs. Then I just assumed the pain was normal and would pass. Yeah, really smart.

I know them. Sick but also cuddly and funny :D I can't make up my mind if I find them amusing or horrid to be honest.
I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

Lifted some stuff and put it back down again. Then I took a swim. Dammit, I can't seem to get under 50 seconds flat on fifty metres... I'm so bad at turning.

I love swimming. I dunno if I could do it under 50 though.

I could if I crawled, but I don't. I do breast swimming (is that what it's called?).

The swimming style crawl, yes. It's faster than "normal" breast swimming, but I can't get the technique right.

As for breast swimming, you must mean the breast stroke.

This breast swimming must be the one we can in Brazil as butterfly? Like, you swim like a frog, just part of you chest going out of water (with your head attached, of course), then you dip, go out, dip, and so on. :sweat:

Or maybe the dolphin, where you seem like hugging somewhere above your head while swining your body like a dolphin does...or maybe, it's some weird-Norwegian-only-trademark kind of swimming technique... :D :tongue:

Breast stroke is different from butterfly here.

Unfortunately I never learnt anything other than butterfly so I can't swim that fast.

I just swim like I normally do. The usual 1 arm after the other and feet kicking.

One arm after the other is freestyle/crawl. Unless you're on your back, that is. Butterfly casts both arms overhead and into the water.

Here, we call that either Breast stroke (now I remember) or butterfly. The butterfly you put in there, it's what we call dolphin. :D We, I mean, in Brazil. I was always good at, butterlfy.

The dolphin? We're you required to speak at a high and fast tone while swimming? :P

Sorry, couldn't resist.
