Good morning and TGIF! It seems like Friday is coming around faster and faster. In some ways, that's great because Friday means the start of the weekend. However, for a lot of us, Friday also means the start of the weekend hustle. This weekend, my daughter has a big Halloween party to go to at her gymnastics school. It's a Parent's Night Out that doubles as a Costume Party and Halloween celebration. She's very excited about it. In the meanwhile, we have a dozen other things to do to get ready for Halloween on the 31st not to mention I've got to get ready for her birthday next month. Six years old. Wow - time really does fly.

So let's take a few minutes to slow down the hectic pace and work on our funny bone. Without further ado - here are a few Friday Fitness Funnies that I hope will make you laugh.

Be Creative

Do you have some exercise equipment collecting dust in the corners? If you do, here are a few - tongue in cheek - suggestions to put it to good use:

• Got some dumbbells? They make great meat tenderizers, especially if you want to save some money on the cheaper cuts of steak - beat them silly with the dumbbell and you'll have a great meal to chase the workout with
• Got a thigh master? Perfect for wedging your child's door open at night, without letting the animals push it wide
• Rubber bands stuck in the drawer? Kids love these for toys and it's a great way to play tug of war with the dog
• Resistance bands just laying around? Stretch them between two hooks and you have a great place to hang clothes up out of the way
• Exercise ball taking up space in the closet? Kick ball in the backyard just got pretty hilarious, but don't let the kids smaller than the ball get hit with it - they may get run over
