Yesterday my trainer introduced me to the idea of “active rest.” If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking that’s a little oxymoronic. If you’re active you’re necessarily not resting. This is why you don’t catch people doing sit ups while also napping. Immediately I thought it was yet another fitness misnomer. This website says active [...]

Cadbury eggs: the real public enemy #1
April 8th, 2012
JT Eberhard Michaelyn loves them, but they are evil. They are a scourge upon the face of the planet. “But they taste so good!” That’s because they’re full of things that will go straight to your ass. You see, when god was making the world, he decided to make food that’s good for you taste bad and [...]
Friendly Atheist vs. Unfriendly Atheist (<—me)
February 29th, 2012
JT Eberhard Hemant Mehta is a friend of mine. I love the guy and never want to follow him on stage as a speaker. My friend is displeased with how some of us, including me, went after Alain de Botton. I won’t comment on the top half of his post, but for the latter half I think [...]

Fitness Misnomers
October 3rd, 2011
JT Eberhard I am convinced that in order to be a personal trainer you must first acquire a PhD in the creation of misnomers. Previously, politicians wore the crown for misleading names: the Patriot Act made us less free, the Clear Skies Act reduced the power of the Environmental Protection Agency, etc. Yet I don’t think a [...]
Meet the team
October 1st, 2011
JT Eberhard Like every other obsession in my life, I blog about working out. This brought in other people across the country who decided they wanted to get into shape and thus, the WWJTD workout team was born. Once per week we do a post detailing our progress. This week I’d like to introduce all the new [...]
Saturday Fitness (on a Saturday! OMG)
September 17th, 2011
JT Eberhard Oh my Google! Saturday fitness is going to actually be posted on a Saturday! I can’t believe it either. What’s that? You always post your entries on time and you think you’re better than the WWJTD fitness team? Huh. You must have been blogging while we were busy going on dates! Boom! You just got [...]

September 7th, 2011
JT Eberhard All the credit to Sid – she had this written up this weekend. I’m slow to posting. But here it is! ~JT Last week, Conrad kicked the shit out of alliteration. JT took to wringing his hands when he was scheduled to follow Greta Christina in the speaker lineup at the Midwest Humanist Conference last [...]
Saturday Fitness (Problem Thunor?)
August 31st, 2011
JT Eberhard Guest Post by Conrad Hudson Who do you think you are alliteration? You don’t own me and you don’t own my friend JT. Friday Fitness needs to become Saturday fitness. Why? Because JT gets up, he works all week, he goes straight to the airport, and then flies somewhere. This leaves very little room for writing [...]
