Local city man Hugh Brooks is currently grimacing through the working afternoon.
More so than usual.
Not because he’s been lumped with extra casework as part of his role as a solicitor in Betoota’s Old City District, but because his back, core, and legs are killing.
The pain comes as a result of Brooks following through on months of chat about bringing in an exercise ball to use as a chair.
However, it seems like the merits of the lifestyle change Brooks had been advocating, may not be as strong as he had spruiked.
“Haha nah, it’s great,” grimaced Brooks, wriggling back and forth on the exercise ball numerous times.
“It’s really good to engage your core and keep you back working through the day,” continued the fad diet and exercise guy who always has some new thing.
“Honestly, I’m never going back to an analog chair, this is the future”
“My back will thank me later,” he finished, seemingly having a muscle spasm in his back.
Speaking to The Advocate about Brooks’ latest attempt at trying to avoid the sedentary nature of office life, one of his colleagues said she has found the whole thing quite entertaining.
“There’s something new every month,” she laughed.
“He was telling us all about cold showers last month. It was bone broth the week before. Some weird berries at the end of last year, and working wall squats at the beginning of the silly season.”
“It always brightens up my day”
“Like right now, he’s in visible pain and unable to sit upright on that ball, but he’s going to persevere because he’s way too proud to admit that it actually isn’t a great idea.”
“And I’m gonna love every minute of it.”
“I’m giving it a week max though.”
More to come.
