Sizing up getting sweaty.

↑ Upside
- The great thing about Death is that it can be outrun, outsmarted, defeated
- Releases natural endorphins when you tag gym visits on Facebook
- Completely cancels out your usual awful habits
- The President is against it, so it’s good for you
- Sweat is weakness leaving the body, according to expert T-shirts
- It’s been a couple of minutes—that’s good enough
- Dem gains
↓ Downside
- Can’t fast-forward between sections of this training montage
- Better to store fat for nuclear winter
- Someone at gym watching the Food Network
- Bloated is a form of swole, after all
- Impossible to work out to mournful Portland indie music
- Goats not yet incorporated into all forms of physical activity
- Treadmill way too obvious as metaphor for futility
- Muscles are so gauche
