10 Things You Can’t Explain To Your Grandmother
2. Concept: Crossfit
What You Say: It’s a strength and conditioning system based on natural, primal movements — pushing, pulling, climbing, running, throwing, things like that. We do a lot of varied workouts involving all kinds of things: jumping over walls, flipping tractor tires, kettlebells, ropes, sandbags, and dumbbells.
What Your Grandmother Says: Maybe you could bring everyone over to shovel my driveway this winter when it snows. Do you ever bale hay?
6. Concept: Yoga
What You Say: It’s a practice of physical poses and postures to stretch, strengthen, and align the body. Sometimes it involves meditation, and it can be very spiritual as well.
What Your Grandmother Says: Doesn’t sound very Lutheran to me. You’re going because those girls all wear the thong-pants, aren’t you?
7. Concept: Stand-Up Paddle Boarding
What You Say: It’s kind of like a cross between kayaking and surfing. You stand up on a surfboard and paddle like in a boat.
What Your Grandmother Says: Why don’t you just get a boat? And instead of sweeping the ocean, come sweep my kitchen linoleum.
