Yogminton

After trying a type of yoga called Bikram, which is done at 104 degrees for 90 minutes and goes through 26 different postures, one discovers muscles that were otherwise non-exsistent. At first the heat feels like an average summer day in Oklahoma, but its intense compared with the cold weather outside. The best part of going to a yoga class is watching people randomly fall over, so I'm proud to say I didn't because there were plenty of folks who did.
I've also been playing badminton, which I hadn't ever played before this week. Tennis and badminton incorporate a few of the same weapons: a net, racket, and something to hit, so I already had parts of it down, however it is fairly difficult to correctly hit the shuttlecock, and the technique used is completely different from that of hitting a tennis ball.
Upon trying these activities, I've decided to fuse them in order to spawn the new sport of Yogminton. Players contort themselves into weird shapes at extreme hot or cold temperatures and hit objects around a room, trying not to fall over. It could be highly entertaining. League play starts in 4 years, hopefully gaining enough worldwide popularity in order to make the olympics in 12 years, so sign up while there's still space left.

I had a patient who wanted to not have babies so I prescribed her a patch which prevents babies from happening. She "forgot to tell me" tht she did Bikram Yoga and sweated off the patch... so now she has a four year old son.... and is happy.Pregnant women should not do bikram yoga...

Sounds like fun, although it's hard for a chub like me to do yoga.

Jason, I don't ever want to envision you doing yoga. I think my mind's eye just went blind. hehe...

Yogminton sounds hilarious. I would be all about the Olympics, given that this sport would be popularized.
