Hey, how did you know no one commented yet, Bridget? lol
All of that was IN SANE. I don't get the point. What is wrong with people? Just do normal exercising!

What the hell?!!!!!!! Okay I think all that stuff is crazy. I think the worst one out of all those, is the last one. Poor goats or calves. You still did a good job as you always do.

WTF??? That was weird and enjoyable. If you chase the cheese then you'll just gain weight once you get the cheese and eat the cheese. The english are strange.

Buzkashi???? I will now become a lactose intolerant vegetarian who doesn't swim and will never get married... the wife carrying is kinda funny but what if he drops her???... the cheese thing is kinda dangerous.... I rolled down a hill once.. for fun but not after cheese and dislocated my little toe :(

I think I'll stick to leap frog or human tetris... those look fun and burn calories

Maybe we should tell the brits that cheese is also available in supermarket ;-)

Great episod Bridget, even if i won't try ANY of these, i hate regular ironing as it is!

That was so wierdly hilarious.
To bad we don't have under water electricity around where I live....

Chancing after cheese...mmm is that why folks give the brits a hard time about there teeth...one fall too many?
Extreme ironing, who woulda thunk it...im guessing its mostly men who do it, cos the gals...im thinking not so much.
The wife carring thing and winning ur wifes weight in beer, im kinda liking...stock up on that aile laddy.
The last one, well, as they say an idle mind is the devils play ground.
Almost forgot chess boxing, whoever came up with that got hit one time too many and must "really" like chess.

Bridget, you would be good at the wife carrying one - already demonstrated on your trip to France with Karman, LOL.

What about roller blading around in your basement for hours Bridget? LOL

Holy mackerel, it was all good until they started talking about the poor beheaded calf =-((

Wow, I can't believe people actually do these things...I will have to try the Buzkashi one though, sounds fun!

Nice, I think I am gonna try the cheese rolling this winter. Looks like a great way to get into shape. Good episode.

I would rather eat the cheese, but that is still funny!

OK, now this stuff is just not right. Leave it to Sheamus to come up with these. The only thing is, my old man's from Finland and he would so totally love that wife carrying thing. OK, so maybe I'm kinda heavy, but to win my weight in BEER!?! He'd win for sure.

this is a very funny video - i've heard of extreme ironing, and i love the fact that it's being highlighted. i think buzkashi might have roots in the nomadic raiders that swept across eastern europe. kinda interesting, i guess.

Hilarious, I love it! I saw the cheese rolling video on TV and I laughed so hard. Those people are crazy but hey, it's exercise at least! Great video.

This was an interesting video. It may just be me but I think chess boxing sounds awesome

As fun as these exercises seem to be (Chess + boxing FTW!), I don't think any of them are viable long-term exercise plans.

Except maybe wife-carrying

I actually read this blog before watching this video. I was thinking to myself that this would be a great episode of the Jam. And I was right! I hope people won't try anything too dangerous to lose weight, but this was a fun idea. The ideas are so crazy but it actually sounds cool when Bridget talks about them.

Chase the cheese was indeed the best of the lot ! I have heard and read about the dead calf game earlier and indeed very disturbing

This is a useful video because of its humor and Bridget's descriptions of the various exercises! When you think they couldn't get any weirder, they then do. The wife would have to be extremely brave to be carried on the husband's back. However, I like how different countries have completely different customs and festivals.

I wish I would have seen this video before I joined the local gym! Only kidding!
