Mr. Penguin's Adventures: Eye of the Tiger

Eye of the Tiger

The past couple weekends we’ve been watching the “Rocky” movies. Boy, I tell ya, it has really inspired me to start training. I, too, have the heart of a champion. I don't want to beat somebody up, I’m too sophisticated for such things, I just want to get ripped.

Lucky for me, the man bought some baller fitness equipment. I helped him organize and set up our home gym. We're slowly acquiring the proper equipment to get buff. I think we are going to call it Mr Penguin’s Sweatshop. It has a nice ring to it.

First things first, we had to suit up.

Then it was time to clean and organize the messy basement, so we had a nice clear area to work with:

We bought some carpet to put down so we’d have some padding; it took 4 squares to cover the area we had cleared out.

Once that was done it was time to bring in the equipment. I had to show the man the best places to set up each piece.

After observing one of the man’s workouts, I think my talents will be best utilized in coaching and motivating the man, just as Mick did for Rocky. I can keep time for him as well as tell him what to do (I am an exceptional boss). I’m excellent at barking out orders.
