If you are a Seinfeld fan, you should be familiar with the celebration known as Festivus. If you have no idea what I am talking about, click over here for a brief description.
Let us begin with the airing of the fitness grievances! Here are a few of mine:
- People at the gym who sweat everywhere and don’t bother to clean it up.
- A fitness instructor who has ZERO energy, especially at 5:30 in the morning.
- People who talk non-stop during an aerobics class. If you are chatting with your neighbor, you are NOT working out. This also applies to people who are jabbering on their cell phone.
- Arriving at the gym and realizing you left your Ipod at home.
- Planning to workout during the kids’ nap time and having them decide they will NOT nap.
What are your fitness grievances?
Now it is time for the Feats of Strength! Instead of wrestling the head of household, let’s do this mini-workout instead:
- How many push ups can you crank out in one minute?
- and lunges? Again, 1 minute.
- Crunches? 1 minute!
- and finally, wrap it up with 1 minute of low plank.
I feel much better now, don’t you?
Happy Festivus gang!

That is hysterical! I love Seinfeld. I have the same grievances of people on their cell phones, forgetting the i-pod, and nonnapping children. I also hate it when I only get to workout for 15 minutes before the caretakers say I have to leave because my twins won’t stop crying AND when I’m waiting for a machine and someone that is on it is too busy talking rather than using that machine.
you are too funny. I so miss seinfeld and tell my husband ALL THE TIME that if I meet an untimely demise the only woman he can marry is julia louis dreyfus.
(how he gets HER to leave her current husband is HIS problem
)

Looking forward to a great run with some friends, and then accidently sleeping in!!! Its maddening.

My grievances, well, the girls who go to the gym with their huge purses at their sides, including cell phones hanging out and walk slowly on the treadmill or barely pedal the bike. Give the equipment to people who are going to SWEAT people!
And my other grievance is not liking my body’s recent revolt against me making it so much harder to a)avoid sweets and b) not hide that I’ve been not avoiding the sweets.
happy festivus for the rest of us
Love your take on Festivus!
My main fitness grievance right now is wanting really badly to go out for a walk but it being too damn cold! Sighs.
My fitness grievance – all set to go out for a run, only to realize my running shoes are upstairs. How sad is that??? (really, I don’t want to wake anyone up, but still…)
Have a very wonderful Christmas!

Happy Festivus WorkoutMommy,
My workout grievances (I have 2):
Fitness club socialites – those people that occupy adjoining pieces of fitness equipment chatting about last night’s Seinfeld re-run.
The Grunt and Groaners – those guys (it’s always guys) who make so much noise during a set that the whole gym is forced to stop and watch. Last week, I swear that one of them was about to give birth during a set of pulldowns.
Feat of strength – today’s workout will include 1 leg squats – wish me luck
