I know I promised myself I wouldn't take any more night pictures, but this one will have to do. It's of the exercise equipment at the local park. I would take a day time picture but with the summer heat I'm rarely there in the daytime or my dog would melt. Also night time is the only time you actually see people using the equipment.
Almost all parks in taiwan have these things. Most of them are things where you pull and twist your arms and body. The most popular ones are the things that imitate a cross-country skiing motion. I rarely use them as I feel that are not so effective, and seem designed mostly for seniors. However occasionally I will try some out while my dog runs around being crazy.
Recently this turned out to be a big mistake. Its very hard to see but directly in the foreground of the picture is a flat red object. It's for laying down and doing sit-ups. While doing this i felt a small pain, but of course my male bravado forced me to work through it. Only to get home and sit down and feel even worse. I went to look in the mirror and the equipment had filleted a part of my skin. It looked as though somebody took a fruit peeler to my skin. Actually be thankful the above picture is what it is, and not the picture I took of my filleted rear.
The true tragedy is what this has done to my figure. I had to take some days off from my daily exercise routine, so i could recover. There have also been two typhoons recently which meant that I would go to Costco and stock up on some fattening food. So these two things have caused a hint of regression in what was the godlike figure I had.
What's the name of the god for people who exercise each day just so that they can eat whatever they want guilt free?
