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.

Think about things for a minute; how many people out there truly have even an hour to get to a gym and then stand around for 10 minutes waiting for a bench in order to do some wimpy bench presses and then stand around for another 10 minutes waiting on the lat pulldown machine to become available? The answer is; maybe 5% of us. That’s a sad, sad number but it needs to be dealt with, right?

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.

As an example, consider how a little bit of work on the legs can be done by flooding the basement with water and then dragging out the trusty dry wet vacuum and pushing it around down in the bowels of the watery pit that once was a basement. Push the thing with one leg and then push it with another or, alternatively, just practice dragging it up and down the basement stairs 20 or 30 times.

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.

All that’s needed is to take linens and bedding such as described above and start working. Divide the effort into sets and imagine being in the gym folding baby clothes and bedding. Okay; maybe it’s not wise to imagine that, but the point is valid that more than a little bit of muscle building can go on just by taking a little bit of housework and turning it in to a chance for some fitness gain.
