Working Out for Nuthin'

The Quote--

"We're not doing outrageous fashion; I make sports clothes that are relatively conservative, clothes that everyone wears."

Calvin Klein

The Blurb--

"When the stress of the week weighs down my mind, I hit the gym.  Work off a few pounds? Sure.  Chisel and define those muscles? Yep.  Usually I focus on weight training, then some rounds with the bag. Today, though, I accepted a challenge for a pick up game with the younger boys. Who asks a black man over six foot if he 'wants to get spanked at b-ball'?  The kid about to lose his allowance, that's who."

The Stuff--

The Benjamin skin was a great deal and a godsend for someone looking for an ethnic skin on a budget. The set also includes Shape, hairbase on a tattoo layer, and brows.

The basketball set comes with several mesh sizes for both the jersey and the shorts, as well as the sneakers and the basketball making this a great all around gift.

The fatpack of tube socks comes with six different color schemes to match various outfits and uniforms.

My favorite purchase, though, is the Thor's Oak Exercise Animations. Thirty Two full perm animations better than I've seen elsewhere, fifteen pairs of dumbells at varying weights, and gym shorts, not shown. Win's Booker's Best Value Medal.

The heavy bag is not animated and stands at a hefty twenty one prims, however, it's free and looks great.

The Facts--

Exercise is any physical activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, as well as for the purpose of enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self esteem, and can even augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which is also found to be linked with higher levels of self esteem.  When a person exercises, levels of both circulating serotonin and endorphins are increased. These levels are known to stay elevated even several days after exercise is discontinued, possibly contributing to improvement in mood, increased self-esteem, and weight management.
