food poisoning: total body workout

gentle readers i have had food poisoning which resulted in about 12 hours of vomiting. as activities go, i'd rather tear off my face and run around bumping into things than barf. but like any good workout you don't know how hard you've worked until the next day. food poisoning is a total body workout of core conditioning excercises that engage not only your abs but your obliques, back and shoulders, and surprisingly glutes. with every heave and lurch i tightened my buns, as i knelt over the toilet. heave and lurch--release. repeat for 12 hours. my ass is as tight as a highwire at a circus.
