I admit it. I can swear fairly #&*%#@ well.  I have met some people who use it as an art from of sorts. Words are twisted, stuck together in strange combinations and are a thing of wonder and an amazement to behold. A study was recently released stating that swearing can make you feel better and even lessen pain.

Whack! You hit your  head. @%*&!

Bang. Your knee just hit the corner of a table. Double $%@#*!!

Crunch! You slammed your hand in a drawer. %*>@$?#&<%#@>**$!!!!!!

Squeeze! You  are grunting out the last rep of a pull up. &#@*^%! Err, hold it a minute. Yes, I have cursed during exercise and it always helps. Sometimes you just need that extra something. An example.

During my divorce I was a frustrated, depressed, angry, and sad guy. There were many days when I just couldn’t get my mind around exercising. It was a labor just to warm up. So….as I was lifting dumbells and my mind was drifting I got angry and swore out loud. It always got me to do more than I thought I could or felt I could. Especially on days when I felt bad.

There is some kind of power and freedom in swearing. The late, great George Carlin, of course, made a career of words and swear words were among his favorites to examine and dissect. It resulted in some damn funny routines!

If you are a teetotlin’ person who would never curse then this obviously would not be for you. If not….then try cutting loose with some explatives at your next workout session!
