Fifty Shades of Grey Workout........

Remember the 70’s? Yes some of you do. Back in 1974 I heard people were streaking everywhere (running naked in a public place). It was so popular Ray Stevens recorded a number 1 hit called “The Streak”. No I’m not making this up. What the heck am I getting at? Well, for some reason this summer is starting to remind me of those crazy summers back in the early 70’s. Why? Is it the cultural phenomenon and best-selling trash, I mean book,  Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie Magic Mike or Werewolf love on True Blood? I’m not sure, just an observation, but to make a long story short, everyone is getting naked, there are many more nude scenes on TV and films, is that a good thing? Maybe…… It’s the summer of “anything goes”, so grab your handcuffs and tie and join the party, NOT.

As a Country we’re always being told that we’re too uptight and we’re overly sensitive when it comes to sex and nudity. Really, are they actually watching our shows or movies? America is supposed to be all progressive and liberal, yet they freak out upon seeing a suckling infant. I don't get it either. Has that all changed?---why am I thinking Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City.

So if we’re going to show more or less, we might as well look good doing it. First off, don’t compare yourself to ladies in magazines, we don’t have the luxury of air-brushing. Don’t compare yourself to actors doing nude scenes. They are paid millions to work their asses off, literally. Just be yourself, the best YOU can be, your best body, feel good about yourself.

I went from this to a workout, yes strange. In the spirit of Fifty Shades of Grey and looking good however you want to dressed or un-dressed. I’m giving you the Fifty Shades of Grey workout. And don't read the damn book on the treadmill!

By the way I read 2 pages of the book and I turned Fifty Shades of Red……….
