So I got a rowing machine

[Aerows]

and the first thing my mother asked is "Are you going to get bowed up?" She shuddered as though exercise is the worst thing in the world.

I said no, (I'm a female) of course not, I just want to get in shape.

What do you know. I AM getting bowed up.

I feel better, I quit smoking a few months ago, and it's rather fantastic. So yes, to the horror of my mother, I, a woman, am getting bowed up.

I'm pleased with my "bowed up" body.

1. I was intrigued when I saw the rowing machine on "House of Cards"

Is that the kind of machine that you have?

[Aerows]

2. It is

and it is surprisingly good to exercise a BUNCH of muscle groups. I love it.

3. It looks like it would fun to use, but also somewhat calming

I'm envious (in a nice way)

4. I have never heard the expression "bowed up"

7. I found a free treadmill in in the country

Then I found another, then, still another. Soon I had dozens of the machines (country roads are choice dumping grounds for treadmills). What to do? I found the perfect solution...Zombie proof my house
