Ok so a post so close to the last one is unusual but for once I have something I wish to share.

The days are starting to lengthen as spring approaches. I have often sensed a deep feeling of relief at this time of year. The expectation of long hot summer days to come. Yeah right! Anyway I have had a particularly lethargic winter and felt I should start to get myself in to some sort of shape for health reasons.

So, to that end I went on the Mens Health website in the hope of finding a program that didn't promise to either turn me into an amorphous blob of muscle or into some sort of Greek god. I was not disappointed.

I chanced upon a routine called the Family Guy workout. For those of you unfamiliar with the cartoon you should investigate it for yourself

Any road up, the work out is based on 4 characters in the series and having to do certain exercises upon their utterance. I read and re read the instructions until the show came on. Which wasn't until well gone midnight. Yes I know I could download it but I have no DVR and wasn't paying i-tunes for the pleasure, so I waited for it to come on the old steam telly.

I was waiting for 4 lines. The baby Stewie had to say "Damn you vile woman" which queued 30 seconds of stomach crunches. Peter had to say "Oh crap!" to start a bunch of lying down leg raises. Cleveland had to say "That's nasty!" to do some different type of crunch and Quagmire only had to utter " Giggity-Giggity" for me to do some sort of raised "plank" thing. So I watched an episode and all I got was one "oh Crap" so I had to watch the next episode. It turns out Cleveland has now left the show and all I ended up with after 40 minutes were 2 "oh Crap"'s and a "Giggity-Giggity"

The path to fitness was never supposed to be easy
