My popcorn cooking recipe for exercise and health.

First you get a craving for hot buttered popcorn and decide it’s ok to get off the diet for one night. Put the bag in the microwave oven and set the timer. Go downstairs and entertain yourself on the computer while waiting, and anticipate the taste of that hot buttery popcorn.

Whip your head and chair quickly around when the fire alarm, hanging on the stairs wall, goes loudly off! It’s a good neck and waist exercise. Tear up the stairs through the smoke coming down and nicely exercise those calf muscles. Exercise the right upper arm biceps by whipping open the microwave door and, grabbing the blackened, smoking bag of popcorn. More arm and leg muscles get a workout by running to the door to the outside, quickly pulling it open, and tossing that smoking bag onto the damp lawn.

Keep your index finger flexible by pushing the fire alarm button over and over to shut it up. Give up and take a walk to the outside with it when your ears are ringing with enough hearing exercises. Set the small but loud alarm carefully on the ground, keeping your knees limber.

Spend the next few days getting a whole body exercise workout while you wash throw rugs, the kitchen floor, kitchen countertops, and anything else you can see. Have a big, lung clearing, sigh of relief that the microwave oven survived.

Use your intellect to know that hot buttered popcorn is not worth the work it takes to make it a reality.

I know that exercise!! My microwave (brand new) did not survive.
It actually caught on fire and hubby got in on the exercise program by carrying and tossing the microwave out the back door onto the lawn and spraying it with the garden hose. He still cringes when we pop microwave popcorn. Not an exercise kind of guy I guess.

Gail,
I know it wasn't funny at the time, but I got to admit it's hysterical now. Glad no serious damage was done. Next time use the 100 calorie packs. The maximum time for them is a minute and a half, which always turns out to be just enough. And honestly, there are simpler ways to get exercise.

This sounds an awful lot like the "Unattended PopTart in the toaster excersize program" that a friend of mine instituted. The difference being that it's a group excersize performed by men in funny suits and hats and driving a large red truck with flashing lights.
