with the upcoming sports season, everyones been clamouring to Get Fit. so i too decided its an opportune time for me to get my flabby inertia-filled ass out of the chair and into the pool. its been working out well so far, considering my tendency for sporadic exercising urges driven primarily by the Lou Feng Potato Chip Cycle* (LFPCC). hopefully, this will at last be a sustained practice, although perhaps once school reopens the will (and time and energy) to drag myself down to the pool once a day will diminish.
Jo's Guide to LFPCCThe LFPCC is primarily a psychological cycle and hormonal changes may or may not (depending on the individual) play a role. The frequency of each cycle differs from person to person, and the length of each cycle may even differ to round to round, thus making the LFPCC extremely difficult to predict.
LFPCC alternates between two phases - that of physical fitness, and that of physical... un-fitnesss. The first day of the LFPCC occurs when, fed up with the degeneration of his/ her physique, an individual is forced into voluntary vigorous exercise. This may continue for a few days. Once the individual has obtained satisfactory fitness, he or she stops exercise. This marks the beginning of the second phase of LFPCC.
During the second phase of the LFPCC, the individual may lose considerable muscle mass, resulting in a form that is skinny, but flabby - a generally unhealthy and disgusting state that resembles a stale potato chip, thus its name.
Note: LFPCC does not occur in all individuals.
