Woman burning most of her workout calories by scrolling

A WOMAN aiming to get fit at an expensive gym is mainly exercising a single digit on her right hand.

During her last visit Charlotte Phelps burnt off an impressive eight calories with a TikTok and Instagram-based workout that involved slouching over machines other gym members were hoping to actually use.

Phelps said: “I only visit the gym every couple of months – meaning each session works out at about 200 quid – so I like to make the most of it and really check my socials thoroughly.

“The treadmills are my favourite as you can prop up your phone and walk at a speed which barely raises my heart rate. That way I don’t get sweat in my eyes and miss any important bitchiness in the new series of the Kardashians.

“Each visit starts when I put on my body-sculpting gymwear I spent a fortune on and ends with me posting a photo of my workout from Starbucks with the caption ‘Feel the burn’. That’s as I drink a 400-calorie Cookies and Cream Frappuccino which my body needs to build muscle mass.

“One of these days I’ll find out what some of the machines do besides being somewhere to sit. But for now I’m focusing on the sauna and trying to get off with Alex the personal trainer.”

Despite only 14 minutes of Phelps’ most recent two-hour workout being spent doing something that could be considered ‘exercise’, she did burn at least 15 calories from lifting her stupid, oversized Stanley cup.

We ask you: What form of copium is MAGA taking today?

TRUMP’S flip-flopping on tariffs and the economic chaos he’s causing are forcing MAGA types to find coping strategies. So what sort of ‘copium’ are they taking today?

Kyle Johnson, Huntsville: “I voted for Trump because I hate blacks and hispanics and I haven’t paid any attention to the news since. What’s this problem with sheriffs?”

Rita Schumacher, Dallas: “It’s all part of his genius strategy, straight out of The Art of the Deal. Donald’s outsmarted his opponents every step of the way. The guy’s playing 4D chess. What is chess, by the way? Can you eat the black and white things?”

Joel Vincent, Fort Worth: “I think not being able to afford anything is good because we’re relearning the toughness and self-reliance we’ve lost in the modern world. There’s nothing like being crippled by polio to stop you going soft.” 

Taylor Johnson, Atlanta: “I am avoiding confronting what a colossal f**k-up this and what an idiot I am by only watching Fox News. Apparently China is begging us to let them become the 51st state and the price of eggs is -$20 so you make a profit every time you go to the store.”

Amy Muller, Des Moines: “It’s bad but I don’t blame Trump. In 2024 Joe Biden went forward in time and imposed all these stupid tariffs so they’d be waiting to mess up Donald’s presidency. Yes, I do get most of my information from Facebook. Why do you ask?”
