The New “Airport Workout” Is Hilarious
If you are a frequent flyer then you’re fully aware of all the stresses of being in an airport. Everything from getting to and from the airport to all the strains you are put through. You have to lug your luggage from the car to check-in, or you have to hoist your carry on into the overhead bins. Now comes the “airport workout”
If you’re running late you have to sprint through the terminal to get to your gate on time or miss the flight. All these are really good reasons that flying today is more stressful than ever.
It wasn’t always this way. Back in the day people got all dressed up to fly. Men wore suits and women were dressed to the nines with attire you would never see on a flight today. These days people dress down, all the way down. It’s more common to see someone wearing their pajamas, slippers and hoodies than it is to see a suit and tie or any other business attire male or female.
We can all see that the once glamorous idea of flying is really now much more akin to a glorified bus with wings trip. All of this means that you have to be prepared to fly the not so friendly skies and this means getting your game face on and if needed getting in better shape to deal with all of the physicality required to be an airline passenger here in the first quarter of the 21st century.
These two men have put together a hilarious “airport workout” regimen with tongue firmly placed in cheek and it garnering hundreds of thousand of views from folks all too familiar with today’s airport experience.

After watching these guys, I am inspired to shake up my workout routine at the local YMCA. Maybe I will bring in my wife’s heavily over packed rolling suitcase and get some much needed exercise in. Trust me, I know it will be at least 50 lbs!
The 7 Most Annoying Things You Can Do On A Plane
7. Asking someone to switch seats.
31% would be annoyed, no matter the reason. But especially if their seat is better than yours. This happens a lot and it can be very annoying. If you wanted to fly together, book it together!
6. Hogging both armrests.
Just under a third said you shouldn’t be hogging both, even if you’re in the middle seat. It’s the battle of the arm rests and it is never enjoyable for anyone to feel squeezed out.
5. Reclining your seat
Around a third think it’s inconsiderate and unacceptable. This can be a very rude thing to do. Nobody wants to sit behind the person that reclines all the way back as soon as we reach 10,000 feet. Especially if it’s a long flight.
4. Taking your shoes and socks off
35% will judge you for it. That’s even if your feet somehow smell great. I’m surprised this number is only 35%. Let’s all agree to leave our shoes on if it’s a problem get more comfortable shoes.
3. Unwanted conversation
Close to 40% hate it when the person next to them won’t shut up. This is a problem especially if you were in a long flight. Remember good ear phones make good neighbors.
(TIE) 1. Using your speakerphone.
This is annoying anywhere, let alone 35,000 feet in the air when there is no escaping. This usually happens after landing when somebody is either looking for a ride or letting a family member know that they have landed. All things we can do through a quiet text.
(TIE) 1. Personal grooming.
Like cutting your nails, painting your nails, or trimming your beard in your seat. How is this even a concept what would possess somebody to trim or paint their nails on a flight? If your nails are in need of attention, perhaps you can take care of that at your destination. Please.
