Moonwalking?  I usually wind up running after I've been mooning...  usually because someone is chasing.  

I imagine that I'm walking, flipping, biking, and roller blading backwards on a tightrope 100' above a pit filled with sharks outfitted with landmines on their heads.

It's a form of mental gymnastics.

Pffft.......I'm having a difficult time just walking forward(s). My thinking however, is questionable.

Today I'm going to try backwards weight lifting. Someone will pass me the weight and I'll simply put it down.

When I used to work out regularly at the gym (to stay in shape for cricket/B-Ball), I always ran on the treadmill for 20min (to sweat it out)  and then lifted weights (for the whole body) for the next 1 to 1.5 hrs........
Yeah, it was a long gym day and did this 4x a week, but I have to say that I was in the best shape of my life. This was my routine for close to 10 years.......then I got married and had 3 beautiful children. I realized that I get my best sleep while watching Dora the Explorer.

I was told it was best to do it the other way around, i.e. weights first cardio after. I love strength training and the feeling it gives you later, but I have to be careful about how much weight I lift because of an ongoing back problem, as well as the occasional bout of golfer's elbow in one arm and tennis elbow in the other (which I'm sure have been partly caused by years of playing classical guitar). I see these guys in the gym who are straining themselves so ridiculously hard with such bad form, I feel like going up to them and saying "one word...HERNIA."

I find it best to watch the girls on the exercycles and let the guys use the weights somewhere else.  Yeah, that's the proper workout!

I'm a YMCA cheapskate, and unfortunately my exercycle views consist mainly of 200lb 60 year olds, with all due respect to 200lb 60 year olds. 

Do they play Village People songs in the gym too?

I have no idea, it's virtually impossible to hear through my giant mustache.
