It being January and all, and in my continuing quest to be the best darn lemming I can be, I have invested in new exercise DVDs and equipment.* This time I have jumped on the kettlebell craze. I am already reaping the benefits. The main benefit being that I can now say the word "kettlebell" indiscriminately and with vigor. And I do!
Kettlebell.
See? I guess I could have all along, but now--now--it feels like I have purpose!
I say it a good 20-30 times a day. Kettlebell. It's fun! Try it! Kettlebell. I've even taken to calling the husband "Kettlebell", which he seems to think is a nice change up from what I was calling him since our last flight, two weeks ago: "Hammacher Schlemmer...with extra schlemmer."**
Questions du jour: Do you exercise more in January? Would you consider "Kettlebell" a term of endearment?
* *Casually sidles left, blocking view of older, dust-topped equipment*
** Who buys from Sky Mall? Who? Who says, "Yes! On the ground I was bogged down with silly concerns but now that I'm 30,000 feet up, it makes perfect sense to order the voice activated R2D2 for a mere $199.95!"***
***Available from Hammacher Schlemmer. ****
**** Extra schlemmer not included. *****
***** Kettlebell.
No, sadly I don't exercise more in January or think Kettlebell as a term of endarment. It's not you, it's me.
ReplyDeleteI think the R2D2 is cute but otherwise agree on Sky Mall. I feel the same way about the food in the cafeteria at the office - it's a trap, not a good idea and expensive yet low-quality.
Kettlebell has too many syllables for me. We used Sweetiemabob for a while but that was too much too - so now it's just bob. Heh.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid if I were angry I'd totally be unable to say Hammacher Schlemmer at all!
And, no, at least not so far - the only exercise I've gotten is shoveling snow for about 10 minutes & having to park at the end of the parking lot at work yesterday.
I liked you more when you said Turkeyburger.
ReplyDeleteKettlebell kettlebell kettlebell.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to say, even to type.
I put off serious walking/bike riding for spring. It's too cold!
Happy new year btw. Shall we get together in 2011? Please?
Love to Kettlebell (talkin' 'bout your hubby), and to you, too.
I just read Hammacher Schlemmer as if for the first time. In my mind at least, it has always been Hammer Schlemacher. For like twenty years. I'm glad I have it straight now.
ReplyDeleteI like how Kettlebell sounds. It roll rather crisply over the tongue.
rolls

KETTLEBELL!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit that I had no idea what a Kettlebell was until you made me Google it. I was in a bar in Baltimore the other day and I saw this ad on the far TV. No sound or anything. I had real trouble paying attention to my hamburger while this was on. I was snickering like a sixth grader.

Skymall both scares and excites me at the same time.
ReplyDeleteKettlebells have always intimidated me. They seem to be a type of exercise equipment that would exhaust me and make me feel inadequate.
ReplyDeleteJust like my ex-boyfriend.
I will definitely start exercising more this month. Or next month..yeah maybe next month!;)
ReplyDeleteI confess to having to Google Kettlebell to figure out what I was missing in the fitness world. I have a lot of exercise equipment but alas, no Kettlebells. Daily exercise has become a religion for me. I can only take it with equal portions of Glee!
ReplyDeleteI have worked out once this January, so YES, I do work out more in January.
