Necessary Reading: The 3-Day Workout Routine

I will admit it: I hate fucking working out. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy sporting activities like tennis, golf, basketball, softball, swimming … pretty much anything that involves some kind of competition I can defeat in order to fulfill my quota of kicking someone’s ass (or getting my own ass kicked). But just running for running’s sake, or workout out with weights and what-not is way too boring for me. But, and as my body starts breaking down in my advanced age, it’s something that I’ve come to learn is necessary.

Luckily, the folks over at AskMen.com have put together a simple, easy-to-do workout routine that only includes 3 of the 7 days of the week.
