Humpday poll - Extreme body mod

Totally stolen from [livejournal.com profile] greybeta...

[Poll #1108531]

...but also bc I never realized there's more than one answer to Q3. Also, even I can't figure out what category aerial acrobatics belongs in for Q2: sports? martial arts? yoga/stretching? (I count it as such in my tabulations bc of the intense warmup)

Does the walking I do every day in my commute count? Or the baby curls? (Mr D. is >30 pounds, so picking him up should count for something.... my biceps have really developed this year, and it's totally due to him.)

Also, I walk to/from the station because I'm cheap. And I pick up Mr. D because I have to.

I would say no to both. I was surprised in looking at the results to see that someone I know who doesn't walk for fitness ticked that box: I don't count my own walking, even when I was walking a mile each way to work, bc it's a means of getting places, not something I do for exercise. It's just a happy side-benefit of living/working in NYC :) Similarly, lifting Mr. D is not optional. I mean, unless you are just lifting him for the purposes of curls - sounds like he'd make a good "smart"bell :)

He's definitely progressive resistance.

Yeah, then I don't exercise at all.
