Why not? Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 NOPE P.S. I almost thought that was Nymeria in that cover photoTrue. I wasn't sure how they made the leap from talking about the popularity of nerdy fitness activities to saying they should be avoided.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Right? I don't see why those are places to avoid, they stated no negatives about them. Then again, the author used the fact that there's a fetish instagram of attractive women eating carbs for why it's the year against paleo, so maybe we shouldn't take the article too seriously.

Raincloak Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Fox doesn't like anything cool? Who even watches Fox anymore, they're just a satirist punchline. If only they were right about nerds flocking to gyms.Also I don't think low fat was in last year, matcha is so 2011, and sound baths compare favorably to crystal healing for silliness. They're right about rock climbing getting hot though. The bouldering gym is raking in dough and it's packed every time I go in (unlike the Crossfit gyms, whicb seem to be getting passe). It's fun, I wish I could afford a pass. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark.

Why not? Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I think the takeaway here is that Camp Nerd Fitness made a national-level news website.
