The workout of the week is:

Carrying cases of pop.
This work out is not for the faint of heart. You will need two 12 pack cases of pop(any brand will do, they all weigh the same). With one pack on either side of you, bend at the knee and pick them up with your fingers. Lift straight up, lifting with your legs while your arms continue to stretch down toward the floor. Make sure you stuffed your fingers in the case as far as they would go (so you can’t get them out) to prevent the fingers from slipping out and the big toes from dodging. Okay, now walk to the car, or the fridge or where ever it is you want the cases of pop to reside permanently. Do not repeat this work out once you’ve moved them, once is quite enough for a workout, now take a break…or better yet, take the rest of the day off on us!

If a twelve pack of pop is too much, just start with one can and work your way up, be sure not to do it all in one day though. Working your way up from one to twelve should take about 12 days. Don’t forget to reward yourself for a good workout by drinking a can.

For the extremely advanced workout, try carrying two 24 packs, the extreme workout should never be attempted while alone.

Another helpful hint is if your trying to carry a lot of cans all at the same time, it’s a good idea to drink a couple of them so you have more free hand space. You’ll still be carrying the same amount of weight and they’ll all make it to the right place, some of them will just be in a different container.

Motto of the workout is: "We may not have a six pack, but that doesn’t mean we can’t carry a twelve."

This work out builds finger muscles, and tones back. This work out will not build a six pack (no mater how much you drink) side affects may include long arms, droopy shoulders, odd gait. Discontinue workout if the droopy shoulders persist for longer than one hour.

So newsy staff, what is your record? Only 2 24's? Seems like experienced athletes like you should be able to do 4 24's. My best has to be 4 12's but that is 2 24's so I guess its not so great.

Dont you dring pop Simon?

I quit when I got pregnant, or I should say I quit Dr. Pepper. But sometimes a sprite sounds really good on my queezy tummy. But we dont have any pop in the house right now. Do you have a variation of this work out for if you are pregnant? I might find it usefull.
