POWER WALK YOUR TUSHY OFF WITH MY MOVIE SEQUEL EXERCISE PLAN.

by Eddie Winkle (NWM Staff Writer)

Common rule of thumb for movie sequels in the 80s is the trump factor. The 2^nd incarnation always tried to go waaaay above and beyond the original. Sometimes it worked like with Lethal Weapon and Superman 2. And sometimes it was an Arthur 2 On the Rocks. Though one thing (to me at least) that always seemed to succeed with these 2^nd helpings were the theme songs. A lot of times the first go-around didn’t feature one or the tune was kind of mellow. Not so with the sequel songs. In most cases they were fast and had a bit more anthem, 80s pop rock to ‘em. And most fitness experts agree that 80s POP music is the perfect tempo for any sort of cardio workout. Don’t have any names of these professionals, but definitely read it on a blog or two.

THE PLAN…

Download each of these sequel songs into your mp3 music player. This will give you 16 to 17 minutes of cardio time. Then simply do a hard cardio workout to the tempo of said tunes and hydrate as needed. Repeat each day, eat sensibly and watch the pounds melt away.

6 QUESTIONS FOR A BASEBALL HOT DOG VENDOR.

His name is Charlie, but everyone who knows him best calls him CJ. During the off-season he works construction. However come April, CJ works the dawg route at a major league NY ballpark. He’s been a hot dog vendor for 3 seasons. Here are his six questions.

So do you get a commission or is it just a straight salary? Actually it’s a bit of both. We’re on the books as a salaried employee, but we also make 13-16% commission on each dog we deal out.

How much can a top dog seller make per season? The good ones could bring in as much as 30K, but they gotta hustle.

What’s the most hot dogs you’ve ever sold in one game? I’d probably say about 161. My average is more like in the 140s.

So do you get good exercise lugging that hot dog case around? It weighs about 40lbs, I’m climbing stadium stairs – so yeah I’m getting my cardio and strength training in each and every gameday.

Did you ever catch a foul ball? No, but I got knocked over by a guy who did. Lost about 6 hot dogs that day.

What’s the most best and worst part of the job? Seeing the games for free and bun splitting.
