As New England slowly emerges from winter (see: outdoor soccer in March cancelled due to snow and/or dangerous wind chill), I am abandoning my winter Mall Walks in favor of outdoor exercise. I know the mall employees will miss seeing me and my Pokemon Go screen passing by 3-4x every morning, but the deer and geese at my local conservation land were happy probably unaware but not alarmed at my return! I’ve been thinking about ways to stay fit, and social media happily provided me with what is SURE to be a new craze sweeping the fitness community any day now!! Grab your sneakers, a water bottle (no getting dehydrated, although I won’t tell if you put in something other than water :-)) and join me below the story break after a word from our sponsor…
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
I present to you the latest in fitness crazes, if the Interwebs are to be believed:
Now, if you’re not quite ready for Goat Crossfit, or otherwise need something a bit less strenuous, I have just the thing for you…
I kid you not, there is a 1200 person wait list at one such yoga studio farm. see what I did there?
Of course, if you’re not a goat person, there’s always rabbits:
[Public Service Announcement: Please do NOT give bunnies, chicks, or other animals (except the chocolate kind!) as gifts on Easter. See here. ]
You could always be a traditionalist and take the dogs for a walk or run, which is what I plan on doing since Goat Fitness Programs are hard to find around here. What’s your fitness strategy these days? A gym membership? Chasing children with groceries up a flight of stairs for a cardio-strength workout? Counting steps to the kitchen for popcorn to munch during coverage of whatever the Great Orange Menace and his team have done this week day hour? Please share in the comments after perusing the trio of Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures that BeninSC has graciously collected for us tonight!
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
Note: Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
From foresterbob:
This comment by DtheO in today’s Cheers and Jeers is worth another read. In the parallel universe where Republicans played by the rules, here is what would happen.
