So I’ve never been Boy Wonder in the weight room. My old flatmates put me to shame with their gym sessions and protein-powered purées. Now, I’m living with three ladies again and they’re entrenching my Sir Sloth role. Little do they know that I recently shook my my money-maker without heading gym-side.  My secret? Workout videos.

On an unsuspecting Sunday evening, after catching some DIY shows at Cafe Moustache, the seats were cleared and the screen propped up. Jake Myers, the video’s creator, told us we were in for a good time, and he was right on.  Fun footage backed by a banging soundtrack (compiled by Chicago’s own The Hood Internet) and boom, you’ve got yourself a cool calorie-killing thirty minutes.  So if you’re still wondering what to be for Halloween, do your best Richard Simmons impression to the tune of “You Better Work” and everyone will be wondering what’s in your protein shake.  Enjoy.
