Bobblehead Use #6: Workout Buddy.

After anonymous’ made her anti-Yankee comment on this blog the other day, out of a bit of rage, I mistakenly suggested that we use these defenseless objects (specifically, a Red Sox bobblehead) as a “voodoo doll”. For a moment there, I lost my grasp on reality and forgot the real objective of this silly series of posts - primarily, that they be non-violent and non-destructive. With this being said, for that brief moment of insanity, I apologize for my insensitive comment. And so, we move on.

Today’s brainstorm came as I “thought” about working out last night. When exercising, I always find it more motivating when I’m not working out alone, but with a "buddy". In this mindless series of pictures and video, bobblehead Bobby Crosby is put to use as an exercise partner - someone there to motivate you when you feel like you cannot go a step further.

During this photo/video session, a valuable lesson I learned was the exercise threshold of the common bobblehead. Obviously... very limited. After trying to get the bobblehead to lift the 5 lbs. dumbbell, and then, a couple “dry runs” on the treadmill, poor Bobby’s head, errr... well, let’s just cut to the chase... it fell off. Needless to say, even after some time for recovery (and repair... thank goodness for “Gorilla Glue”), Bobby resisted the notion of performing some sit-ups on the therapy ball. For those who are inclined to call the authorities at this point, you will be happy to know that Bobby got his head back together and has taken his rightful dusty spot back on the bobblehead shelf. Next!
