Fitness blogging ("Look like a tool yet persist" Edition)

[Originally published at the now defunct group blog explananda.com]

My new gym has a punching bag and a speed bag. Both are awfully difficult to use without looking like a tool. The speed bag is also difficult to use without looking like a dweeb, if, like me, you lack the co-ordination to get the rhythm right. (On the top of that, I think the bag is a bit underinflated.)

And yet I persist.
