Cheating at exercise
I walked into my bedroom the other day to find my husband in the middle of sit ups. A wise activity if you want to live a healthy and full life. I know I should do more exercise so perhaps I’m not the best person to offer criticism but I simply couldn’t resist. I noticed his hands were on the sides of his thighs, perfect for using arm strength to pull himself up instead of stomach muscles. I made a comment about his hand placement then walked out of the room saying “you’re only cheating yourself”. As I walked down the hallway my husband yelled back “blow it out your arse”. Yep, I definitely sprung him cheating. I shouldn’t judge him too harshly though. Most of us will use the escalator instead of stairs or use the car instead of walking. We cheat ourselves everyday in one way or another. Perhaps I should take a long hard look in the mirror and say “you’re only cheating yourself”.
