When I got home form work the other day, my girlfriend announced with a smile that Dr. Oz had featured the “walrus exercise” on his show. Now, I’m not familiar with this particular exercise, so a demo was in order. Sadly, I was not thinking ahead fast enough, or I would have captured this on video. On second thought, had I done so, I might be looking for a new place to live right now, so perhaps it’s best I wasn’t recording…<\/p>\n

Anyway – I have been unable to locate video of the actual walrus exercise, but here’s a description:<\/p>\n

The Walrus Exercise<\/h2>\n

The Walrus exercise boosts your metabolism and stretches out your back muscles. (Oh, c\u00e2\u20ac\u2122mon, you knew Doctor Oz was going to sneak in exercise somehow!)<\/p>\n

To do The Walrus:<\/p>\n

-Lean forward
\n-Lie on the ground
\n-Place arms to your side
\n-Put hands on top of you like you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re swimming
\n-Pull yourself up into a walrus move<\/p>\n

Repeat several times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, I’m not sure about the whole “boosts your metabolism” thing. Personally, I’ll stick with Tae Kwon Do forms. Actually, upon further reflection – an ACTUAL walrus workout would be more like this well-known video:<\/p>\n
