Bulking Up In Weird And Wonderful Ways
These days, people need to get their exercise and their bodybuilding (if they want to call gaining a little muscle ‘bodybuilding’) in any way they can, considering most folks are probably working themselves right into an early grave. Knowing how to get big ripped muscles — all without even seeming to try — is possible, but one may have to do some serious housework to accomplish it, for example.
The above about gaining huge muscles could be a little bit of a stretch — when it deals with housework — but stop to think about the amount of time most of us would say we have to do any sort of fitness training. Chances are high that 95% of us would say we have no time (even when we do). That is a truly scary number but it has to be dealt with for what it is, one would say.
Don’t lose hope, because there are many people of very high intelligence (and more than a few of not-so-high intelligence) sitting around out there thinking of ways to help us find fitness within the home. This is good, because a great many of us hate the gym like we might hate an ice water bath. It seems that some housework, done properly, can actually help, even if we don’t own the house.
The bit about the house itself is a kind of a joke, but the point is that there are great ways to get a workout in for the legs, for instance, just by dragging around one of those dry wet vacuums and carrying it up and down the stairs — say, down to the basement that has thoughtfully been flooded just for our workout — a few times. Or one could start pushing it around with one’s legs.
All of that up-and-down action will pay off over time. Do it twice or even three times a week for a few minutes a day. Soon enough, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be calling wanting to know what the secret is to getting those fantastic legs that are being featured in all of the big fitness magazines nowadays. Imagine his surprise when he’s told it’s due to a vacuum cleaner and not steroids.
The Schwarzenegger thing may be a bit of a stretch, but one can see where we’re going with this. Now; onto the upper arms. Folding blankets and other bedding (preferably something premium like CoCaLo baby bedding for no special reason other than it’s very nice to look at while folding) can be a good way to start getting some blood flow into the upper arms.
The point behind that will be repetition, blood flow into the upper arms and a little bit of effort that will pay off. One could even take the folding and turn it into a set or two. Imagine being in the gym folding and unfolding baby bedding. Okay; don’t imagine unfolding baby bedding but imagine lifting weight, because that will be the golden opportunity one needs to gain a bit of fitness at home.
