...I uh....think i'll stick with jogging....Otherwise, great episode! Bridget rocks!


Anonymous's picture

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!


Anonymous's picture

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.

HA HA HA that was great! Thanks bridget.

Love the hair Bridge. Those excerises are NUTS!

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.

i have a suggestion for the 6th way--- join a japanese game show!;D

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!


Anonymous's picture

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


Anonymous's picture

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.


Anonymous's picture

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


flconner's picture

WOW...this just blew me away!!! I will stick with my jumpstart excersice though.


dukedogpuppy's picture

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


cloud5975's picture

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


missfunkadilly's picture

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


divaparalegal's picture

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


ysomogyi's picture

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.


Gabester's picture

LOL i loved this one. so funny. keep doing what you do Bridget.


zoesmomknits's picture

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.


foxyloxy's picture

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.


renegadeoftech's picture

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


max223's picture

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


euroni's picture

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.


ASHAAN's picture

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


merriweatherblue's picture

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.


smcgbug's picture

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


monogloop's picture

Hmmm, I don't know how that wife-carrying thing will help ME lose weight, perse, but hey, maybe my husband will be able to lose those 7 pounds that he gained from holiday feasting!


blueeyes21's picture

LOL cheeserolling!! Those are all so random :) I love Bridget


shaddad81's picture

Wow...I know it's meant to be funny, but wow those are disturbing! I think maybe the most realistic one is the cheese? I don't know.


ss's picture

I am going to try any one of the exercises .Bridget i need your idea to pick one from this..interesting video


jdotagain's picture

some of the moves are not the norm, but they can be something to make exercise interesting


misaspeakn's picture

oh my cheeserolling! i've seen people break bones and almost die from that, very dangerous! People from other foreign countries have some crazy concepts when it comes to creating games!


littlemissgibson's picture

Okay, ew to the last one. The wife carrying one is hilarious because you may lose a pound or two by carrying your wife, and in exchange you get a beer belly! lol


Anonymous's picture

keep your good work going br. , i don't think this is good enough.try to do better than this


apelle40's picture

voted yes on both choices . She’s funny in this video , I hate exercise but this made me laugh


heathcole's picture

this is SO funny! I would have to go for the cheese one...as I am SO addicted to cheese! The headless animal one was very disturbing though! ewww!


mayres's picture

This was funny. People do the weirdest things. Of all those things, I think the wife carrying is probably the most athletic sport to help you "get in shape" but I think the whole win your wife's weight in beer kinda defeats the purpose and replaces all those calories you burnt during the competition.


TehVixen's picture

No food is worth that much trouble, unless you're starving. lol. I'm not that crazy about cheese, anyway. These exercises are hilarious and a bit too much for me. I'm content being the way I am. I could actually see me doing this stuff to be goofy and fun.


Mr. Motivated's picture

I like the intro - playing with cheese? That got me hooked on the rest of the video. Some of those are a bit off for my taste, but if it keeps you focused on being fit, then more power to you. Good video!


kbrown174's picture

I definitely would recommend this site. Probably not for people serious about weight loss though, but for someone who wants a good laugh. These exercises are really crazy! I also never knew about any of these exercises that some of these crazy people actually did! I especially liked the one where the husband carries the wife... I'd like to be carried. He can do the carrying.


smojica's picture

Okay, I'm sticking to yoga and Pilates. But it was funny!


singswithlove's picture

wow. those were 5 things I have seriouslly never heard or thought of..and I thought I've heard of everything. hahha I can't imagine anyone doing these for real(especially the last one). But alas I see footage before my eyes. Thanks for the insight Bridget! hahha


shanr's picture

Mmm...cheese! These were definitely crazy ideas. I thought the one from Finland (throw your wife over your shoulder and if you win you get her weight in beer) was awesome. My husband might go for that. lol Great clip!


anguiano's picture

I guess it was because I was expecting something different when I started watching this video that made me not like it too much. Or maybe it's because my humor isn't the same as this lady's that made me not smile. Or maybe it's the side of the bed I woke up on that put me in such a mood that I couldn't enjoy this. So as it stands right now, no I would not recommend this video nor would I be compelled to watch it again.


sankard's picture

Bridget, you are rocking.There are lots crazy ideas in this funny video.Wife carrying is funny. I would rather go with yoga.Weight loss and fun are the plus points of the video in my opinion.
