There are various items of clothing used for exercise which provide comfort and ease of movement. These are fine as far as they go, but i feel someone has missed a trick. Ease of movement is actually the opposite of what you want for exercise. Ideally, it should be a real struggle to move at all while
wearing them. All the gear is made of a rigid and very heavy fabric, lined on the inside to avoid chafing. Just moving an arm is a huge struggle. It gets worn all day and you do your normal stuff wearing it, but it's a major achievement just to make a cup of tea in it, or opening the door. Result: considerable weight loss and cardiovascular health improvement. Also, masochists get a much nicer day.
Found it.

Dug any further, [fries shy]? |

Anyway, [phoenix], suit of armour - jousting - clobbering each other with maces? Also, the "knight in shining armour" thing could come in useful here. It should probably be made of platinum. |
|
| |
Yeah but,//Another idea fundable by perverts//, makes this idea entirely worth the read. Maybe a future category? |
|
| |
All the ideas would probably be mine, and funded by me. |
|
| |
This should be combined with the forced air cape. Maybe recirculating forced air cape with air conditioning unit for demoisturization and cooling. |
|
| |
Just because other people want to get sweaty at work, doesn't mean the rest of us who enjoy a more languid approach to life, need to deal with it. |
|
| |
Why not just wrap the entire cyclist in clingfilm? |
|
| |
Clingfilm? Another idea fundable by perverts, or I'm a Dutchman. Oh, hang on, this could go on for ever. |
|
| |
Clingfilm, eh? Attractive to a pretty woman only in dreams. |
|
| |
I think probably the denizen would be having too much fun to care. |
|
| |
I'll bun it because I think the premise behind its use is laudable, but I would flip out from claustrophobia. It gives me the shakes just thinking about it. |
|
| |
Are Dutchmen perverts by nature? Nurture? Too much clingfilm too soon in life? I wonder... |
|
| |
Not perverted. I can see Chuck Norris wearing it as he demonstrates the Total Body Workout commercial and collapsing with a heart attack. Yes. So nice. |
|
| |
Thanks, [Mauichick]. I see that unlike me, you're not trapped in the HB. |
|
| |
Oh no! my last sanctum of chuck-norris free life has been violated! |
|
| |
Perhaps you would move more efficiently after you took it off, due to conditioning. This reminds me of a guy I saw sprinting with a small, parachute-type thing attached to his back. |
|
| |
Wasn't that a superhero using it for braking? |
|

//masochists get a much nicer day.//
Would masochists *want* a nice day? |
|
| |
//Thanks, [Mauichick]. //
Wishful thinking, nineteenthly? |
