Fitnesschlock: /fit-ness-shlok/ Melvin once again found that he is a fitnesschlock, in such lousy physical condition that even moderate exercise caused not only excruciating pain, but left him lying on the couch for days recuperating. Etymology: Blend of ‘fitness’ (physical condition) and ‘schlock’ (of low quality or value) Created by: Mustang.
Fitfall: /fit-fawl/ Jim had not been in the gym for some time. His major fitfall was being friends with a “gym rat” who pushed him to pursue the same routine that he follows. Jim now has more pulled muscles than the number of muscles he knew he had. Etymology: fitness (The state or condition of being physically sound and healthy, especially as the result of exercise and proper nutrition) + pitfall (any trap or danger for the unwary) Created by: artr.
Hurtills: /hurt ills/ Frankie’s new fitness routine was self-designed and not well thought out. He tried to force ten years of inactivity into one afternoon at the gym to get in shape. Of course he instead caused himself a series of hurtills which required medical attention. Etymology: Hurdles (to jump a barrier)& Hurt (injured;feel pain or be in pain ) & Ills (not in good physical or mental health) Created by: Nosila.
