Body Builders

Happy Mother's Day! We are the ultimate body builders. 

Explanation: Body-building is a form of exercise to tone your body. Pregnancy could also be seen as body building, as you are literally building a new body.

BB: Would you like to join a body-building program?
L: No thanks, I've already built two. *holding both of my kids' hands*

Gym Humor: Knee Edition

 

So glad this is not a True Story, but I did think of it at the gym and I do wear a wrap on my left knee when exercising (specifically when on the treadmill). 

Explanation: the opposite of right can be either left (direction) or wrong (correction). But that does not mean left equals wrong.

Text:
Title: At the Gym
PT: You're wearing that brace on your wrong knee.
L: ... what???
PT: Because it's not on your right knee!!!

Weightlifting: Parenthood Edition

Happy early Birthday to my brother-in-law Dan! You can probably do both.

Yeah parenting is not for the weak. Deadlifts don't scratch and kick you while shrieking. Please note that my children are usually angels, but every child has overemotional times and WOW they are taxing on the whole household.

Explanation: A deadlift is a strength exercise where you lift a barbell, which does not move or scream at you. A livelift is something I just made up, and it's when you get exercised trying to move your child mid-meltdown. I'm sure there's an exorcism pun to be made there.

Text:
WL: I can deadlift 400 pounds of cold, hard iron!!! YEAH!!!
L: I can live lift 50 pounds of squirming, crying preschooler.
Ref: WINNER!

Fascianating

 

I came up with this when looking at an exercise routine titled "fascia release on the roller" and I did not have a roller so instead I looked up what fascia was and yep, it was fascinating or rather fascia-nating.

Text:
A: *talking about fascia tissue*
L: That's fascia-nating! 

Light Weight

 

My pastor is starting a series on Genesis/Creation and he titled his sermon on Genesis 1:3-5 "A Light Day at Work" and I came up with this comic when I read the title. 

Explanation: I'm no weightlifter, but I think one of the lowest classes is lightweight. But I don't think they lift lights. I could be wrong. 

Text:
A: Will you ever increase your weight class?!
B: *lifting a barbell with a lightbulb on either end*

Tracking Shoes

I saw an ad a while ago that was for sneakers that had a tracker in them for this purpose (the exercise purpose, not the criminal one) and I thought this up right away. It basically is an ankle bracelet that tells people where you are. I have thought about getting a bracelet that does some tracking but then I think, do I really want to be tracked? But there are nice features like the health things, tracking your heart rate and sleep patterns and such. And also, I have a smart phone so it's tracking me anyways. But it's good to think about security - should you be posting when you're out and about? Probably it's fine, provided you know where you're sharing it (just friends, not randos on the internet). But I'm not comfortable with a tracking shoe. To each their own?

Text:
Jogger: My new TRAQ shoes keep track of my steps and logs where I've been!
Criminal: Cool, I am probably getting an ankle bracelet that does the same thing.

Code Boxing

So my work is a little stressful currently but I have a punching bag at home and it's a great stress relief to just let out some aggression on my punching bag. Sometimes the tests just don't pass and you didn't even touch that code over there. Actually cardio boxing is great for multiple reasons but stress relief is a top one.

*POW* *WHAP* *THWAP*
M: Wow, rough day?
L: Code won't compile.

How To Zumba

True Story: I tried Zumba once and that's how I came up with this comic.
