working girl










I saw bits and pieces of Working Girl on TV yesterday and was drawn in by the out-of-date exercise equipment. There she is, Tess, just trying to get her work done in her inexpensive shoulder pads and tennies (with heels safely tucked away in a secondary bag) when she spots the high tech exercise bike sitting in the corner. As you can see by the picture, she proceeds to jump on the bike and exercise whilst working. Is this too much to ask?

The weather has been right over the last week or so to actually get out and run some. Well, its been long enough that the running is interrupted by intervals of walking. Gotta start somewhere. Anyway, I bring up Working Girl because I like exercising during the day. I don't do well early in the morning and I'm not consistent in the evenings. This leaves lunch time. The noonish hour. Now, I work from home quite a bit so this isn't a problem. A luxury, I know.

Anyway, I'm wondering if I should troll Goodwill or St. Vinny's for an exercise bike like the one above? Cross-training,anyone? Woohoo!

Don't do it, dude. Exercise bikes are second only to nordictraks for space-taking-uppage combined with never-getting-usaged.

But the "never-getting-usaged" is not true if you're really serious about the cross-training. E seems to me well-balanced (a good Libra trait by the way - and this is coming from a Libra), so I think she can pull it off.

I think Working Girl is hilarious - I saw it on TV once a few years ago, and was blown away. On so many levels. Especially the tennies. hehehehe...
