Fitness Fest
It’s on.Â
A fitness challenge was issued to the local media for Fit For Life Day.Â
Our weigh-in was today. The competition is May 10th. Â
Crime Team reporter Chris Redford (pictured at today’s weigh-in) and I will represent KTBS.   The other competitors (from The Times, KSLA and KTAL) will be pictured here later as we update you on training efforts.
As a runner, I was clearly lacking in the strength department during today’s weigh-in. Much work to do. Will keep you posted.

I could beat all 3 stations and the paper, blindfolded, with one hand tied behing my back, and my ankles tied together.

I’ll bet you could, unfortunately trash-talking isn’t one of the events!

Sherri: You and the rest of the “news team” will go down! Just ask Superman!
March 6th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
RL3: I noticed you posted this BEFORE your first training session with Superman! Ha…”news team”…reminds me of the alley brawl in “Anchorman”!

Yeah, so Supamann (hope he doesn’t kill me for spelling it wrong earlier) kicked my arse. It was humiliating! But, Sherri, we are devising a sure-fire plan to win!
No-holds barred!
Except, of course, the hair.

Ha! CT: It’s such a great clip. “Back off evening news team.”

C’mon Lou! Do I look that weak? Okay, don’t answer that. But I’ll have you know that I beat Sherri in an arm wrestling match in the newsroom one time! I have witnesses, although they no longer work here, but that’s beside the point. But I will tell you what I’m scared of when it comes to Sherri. That she’ll kick my butt with those legs of hers!!! lol! That girl could leg press a big rig! Uh, I meant that in a good way.
March 9th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Ha. Jody, I think I’ll incorporate big rig leg presses into my training regime because I don’t think RL3 or The Times girls have thought about that.
Lou, it’s true. Jody did beat me in arm wrestling. What was that, about five years ago? She is seriously strong.

That guy pictured is a crime team reporter? He must work undercover.

Just want to say congrats to all of the competitors that entered the “Journalist Challenge” on Fit For Life Day Weekend. I have not told anyone yet so keep this a secret o.k.. All of the Journalist competitors will have a live weigh-in outside on the Louisiana BoardWalk in front of hundreds of people, in shorts and T-shirts I might add.The weigh in will take place May 9th at 5:00p.m. Also bodybuilders figure competitors and powerlifters from through out the country will be there. I hope I see my girl Sherri soon to help her get ready. Good luck to all the competitors…Super-Mann Blount Master Trainer

Supe,
Thanks for ‘weighing-in’! Wish I could do the same with dignity…need to come see you! You know I have a newscast at 5pm that night…might have to go live…if you tell people I needed to gain instead of lose!
I’ve been trying to gain strength. I just went from 0 guy pushups to 14 at a time!
Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!
