Tuckerman's Inferno Training - Day 1

Bob torments a contestant on Biggest Loser. I'm so happy they've started summarizing a lot of the weigh-ins on the show this season. Holy crap, that takes up a lot of the show! Boop - boop - boop - boop - boop - boop - go to commercial

It's really hard for me to get motivated to exercise first thing in the morning when I'm stressed about work. I work freelance and co-run a festival that's coming up soon, so I feel nervous about getting on the treadmill before achieving what I need to do in business world. Probably a great way to not get workouts in everyday. However, today I was determined to start my training today while watching back episodes of Biggest Loser On Demand. Just watching all those people sweat and get yelled at is highly motivating for me. It's almost like virtual reality.

I must say, for those of you who watch Biggest Loser, neither trainers Dolvett (new from last season) or Bob (since the beginning) are nearly as terrifying as Jillian Micheals (who left two seasons ago), so I think I wouldn't be nearly as freaked out having them as trainers, BUT, I find exercising on my own so much more pleasant than having a trainer, although I'm probably not burning as many calories or doing enough work with weights on my own. I think the two worst exercises I've ever been subjected to are the thing where you have to crawl across the room and back on your hands and FEET. Way worse tan one would imagine, and similarly, the one where you have to pus a weight across the floor. Horrible. Also, what happened to Anna Kournikova? She's just gone.

Also, why to te seemingly most conniving people not get voted off that show? Weird. Do the producers tell the contestants not to vote them off so there will be more drama?

So I ran on the treadmill at varying but moderate speed. Tomorrow I'll do speed intervals.
