How to Get Healthy without Losing Your Street Cred. Worried you can't improve yourself and
maintain your rep? Here's how you can get a rock-hard body without looking soft. You
will need Goal Leather medicine ball Commercial waterway Ironic T-shirt Knee-length shorts
(optional) and charity (optional). While this video is awesome, it didn't go to medical
school. Always consult your doctor for actual medical advice. Step 1. Look the part when
you work out. Wear an ironic T-shirt that seems like its been through the wash a few
times. Roll new sneakers in dirt before wearing them, so no one thinks you're trying too hard.
If you're a guy, wear shorts that fall at or below knee level. Leg hair and package
size have no bearing on keeping it real, only on grossing people out. Step 2. Ask for the
right food in the right way. Go for grilled meat and vegetables when you're out on the
town to get protein and nutrients without the stigma of ordering salad. Swallow shots
of wheatgrass in one gulp and slam the glass down with authority afterward. Step 3. Train
for something; a goal makes anything sound more legit. Tell people you're getting in
shape for charity. Even if you can't run more than a mile now, the mere whiff of compassion
can deflect even the most cynical hipster's comments. Step 4. Incorporate a leather medicine
ball into your workout. Using equipment that dates back several thousand years clearly
demonstrates you're not some wuss who needs modern convenience to get results. Use obscure
units like hectares and furlongs if people ask about your workout, both to show you're
old school and to hide deficiencies in your current fitness level. Step 5. Forget the
pool and go swimming in a commercial waterway; swimming burns up to 400 calories in 30 minutes
and dealing with floating garbage, weather changes, and passing ships proves you're a
bad ***. Step 6. Get busy with your significant other. Studies show getting freaky burns calories,
decreases stress, relieves pain, guards against prostate cancer, and improves immunity and
cardiovascular health. Plus, it'll increase your street cred tenfold! Did you know In
2007, adventurer Lewis Pugh became the first person on record to complete a long-distance
swim at the North Pole.
