It's almost Summer time in Springfield..... And you would think the citizens would want to start getting in shape for bathing suit season....

Everyone is getting a jump start on working off the insane amount of eggs they were forced to collect and consume in such a short period of time. Stupid Mayor Quimby spending all the towns money on discount chocolate eggs from Fat Tony.  Dredrick Tatum and Judge Snider are working out the traditional way, jogging. Rainier Wolfcastle is doing weights and jogging Selma is hoola hooping Chalmers is dancing his weight off Hank Scorpio is helping charity while working his eggs off by doing a fun run Smithers is working Mr. burns' eggs off for him Arnie Pye is walking the newshound, while completely ignoring the K9 Officer. Carl is pogoing, while Lenny mopes around that Carl won't share. Fat Tony gets all the exercise he needs while getting rid of a problem. 2 birds, 1 stone. Homer is finally participating in a town event. Purely because he gets to show off his new fancy bike and be superior to everyone else. Wiggum is working out in his undercover outfit. Do you know how hard it is walking in heels? That's gotta mean it's helping, right? People not working out - Frog Prince has worked out too much and is now throwing up Kent Brockman thinks working out is for poor people Tribal Chief is handing out flyer to the buffet at his Casino, for when they finally give up and need food Edna is protesting this "unhealthy" behaviour Patty is also protesting by blowing smoke in everyone's face. Squeaky Voiced Teen has taken this opportunity to sell his new burgers to the starving residents Blue Haired Lawyer is hanging around, hoping someone hurts themselves and there will be a lawsuit. Zombies are helping motivate residents by chasing them. Miss Springfield is showing off what they could have if they keep to it. ... And Nelson is just laughing at everyone. |

 It's Spring-Field Day, and many of the residents are exercising their right to well, exercise! Lisa is practicing her routine on the beam Rod is on the monkey bars Booberella is doing her own style of hot yoga Willie is doing his one-fingered push-ups Agnes has her broom ready for curling practice Homer is lifting weights Kearny is either doing a jig or pretending to kick a field goal Ned is hunting bunnies Dolph is also hunting for bunnies, but not the same kind as Ned Carl is pogoing Duffman and Selma are both moving to the music on the record player Martin is riding his bike Grandpa is prancing (when he is not preening) Disco Stu is roller skating (although you can only see part of his head) and Bart is riding Stampy, which he does pretty much all day every day in my town now. |

 Good evening, I’m Kent Brockman. And what a difference a week makes. Only a mere seven days after we brought you the story about a local man finding so many chocolate eggs around town, and eating so many, that he single handedly coursed Springfield to become the worlds fattest town. Now a large number of local residents have decided enough is enough and that Springfield will Get Fit For Summer. Besides all the joggers running around town (Tatum, Snider, Wolfcastle and Hibbert, (he’s dressed for jogging at least)), the people who have chosen to skateboard or roller-skate for exercise (Bart, Sanjay & Stu) and the more established methods of exercise like push ups and gymnastics (Willie & Lisa), there seems to be so new and interesting ways to get into shape been shown around town. Although the value of some of the new forms of exercise has yet to be proven (Kearny, Luann, Rod, Todd, Smithers,Rich Texan &Agnes doing outdoor curling practise), it still looks like they are all having fun. But since this is good old Springfield some things never change, we still have our local drunks sleeping it off, and people trying to see how many chocolate eggs they can eat at one time. We caught up with the local man whose Easter eggs gluttony was what started this whole craze for exercise off, and asked him if he would also try to get in better shape. His replay was, “Mmmm chocolate” and then he walked away to refill his chocolate egg basket. And now in other news, the latest craze of riding around on the pavement on motorbikes shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.  |

Summer 2014 is here! Springfield is trying to get heathy and beach ready. This is nothing new to Wolfcastle, he has to always keep his physique in perfect condition. Kumiko has decided that some of her neighbors should learn dance moves from her hometown. Fruit bat has had a quiet winter and is trying to stretch his wings and build up the stamina needed to protect the residents of the growing town. The Flanders boys have tried to find something godly to do to keep healthy and decided that playing on the seesaw is safe enough. It seems like Moe and Eddie have misunderstood and instead of excersizing their bodies they are excersizing their trigger fingers. Sanjay is not too familiar with American language and is "excersizing" his right to party. Grandpa has been working hard all winter to get in shape and since the snow has melted he takes his mirror outside to admire himself in natural light.  |

Get Fit For Summer  Homer has decided to practice his ninja acrobatics while lluan fitness regime is much more like a hamsters. The rich Texan has his own version of an exercise bike and poor Barney has passed out at the thought of working up a sweat. Arnie Pie is walking his dog while Manjula and Marge exercise by walking the kids. Herman, Lisa, Rod and Todd are making great use of the new exercise park while Ned and Mr. Burns train for the Springfield marathon. Tatum is training for his next fight. Kearny has decided to get jiggy with it. Selma is hoping that Wolcastle may notice her dancing but he's too busy working out to care. Disco Stu and Duffman are heading up a dance class but it seems no one could be bothered to show up.  |

Well this is much later than I had anticipated but I still made it in the first week.  Disco Stu boogies through some cardio. Sideshow Mel shows his unicycle prowess and juggling ability to a little spudrucker. Hey, uni cycling is a good workout. Duffman is keeping his hips loose with some good old fashion pelvic thrusts. Luann has got her inner hamster going. O'Flannigan is river-dancing. Ever see a fat river-dancer? Nope. Chalmers is working on his martial arts. Not sure why he's cross dressing but hey who am I to judge. Judge Snyder is a little out of his element but he's giving it his best at the 'jogging' thing. Jimbo is practicing his sociopathic hacky sack skills with a dead frog. And lastly Arnie has taken the day off to watch the old news hound. |

 Clearly the folk in my town have a fairly laid back approach to 'getting fit'.....while Disco Stu & Duff Man work up a sweat getting their groove on to Otto's hot guitar riffs, Selma's doing the hula & Lisa's improving her lung capacity by playing sax while doing laps. Herman & Luann are getting fighting fit, the Rich Texan is having a blast riding the bull, & Miss Springfield is swinging her hips hoping the Texan will notice. Reverend Lovejoy, Dr Nick & Yes Man are taking leisurely strolls, while the Raccoon works out his glutes by walking on his hind legs. Meanwhile Marge Witch is working on her upper body strength stirring the pot, & Suzanne Witch is doing her unique yoga workout to stay flexible. Willie is taking a break from his usual hard core workout to rake some leaves, & Rod & Todd just couldn't resist the see-saw....& Homer Kong is still trying to climb the tower without passing out. |

 Lisa is enjoying a lovely autumn day practicing on the balance beam, hoping to get a spot in the new gymnastic squad! Arnie Pie is taking the newshound for a walk--to avoid having a fight with that smug Kent Brockman. Manjula is taking the octuplets for a walk (she deserves a medal--getting one baby ready for a walk is hard enough, let alone eight!) Chief Wiggum is getting exercise while going undercover on a stake-out...but don't tell him it is actually exercise, or he will freak out and head straight for Lard Lad. Grandpa is having another "senior" moment and is prancing and preening his way around Springfield, remember is days as a wrestler. Boy will his joints be sore in the morning! Comic Book Guy accidentally took a Stillnox instead of his blood pressure pill, so not only is he out in sunshine, but he is hallucinating and getting exercise by shooting invisible bad guys. Hank Scorpio has had enough of the goddamned bunnies popping up everywhere in Springfield and is going to burn every single one of them until he gets this mystical "Faberge Egg" people are talking about. Bart is skateboarding. That's all. Bart is cool; he doesn't need any further exposition.  And, viola, there we have eight! There are more, as you can see, but we only needed to tell eight, and I am sleeeepy. *laughs* |

 Nelson is getting some hardcore arm exercises in by repeatedly raising them in an attempt to steal eggs AND flailing them about uncontrollably! The Isotopes Mascot only needs walk around Springfield to get HIS exercise in...I've heard when he takes the costume off he could fill 13 1 gallon milk jugs with his sweat...EW! Willie is making his forearms even BIGGER by raking leaves for what seems to be something he's done for probably the 6th time this week in 12 hour intervals...hmmm. Smithers is clearly exercising his liver and practicing his balance! Homer is getting those squats in every time he bends over for an egg! He probably exercises his large intestine every time he bends over like that too...*plugs nose* Squeaky Voice Teen is exercising his vocal chords as he shouts advertisements for the newest burger flavors! Maybe his voice will FINALLY drop all the way! Hugs Bunny is doing a similar exercise as Homer getting those squats in as be bends forward and upward to give all those eggs a good inspection, just don't let him do that Homer and him might get into a fight if he thought Homer copied off his moves... Martin is obviously riding a bike, RIGHT below the Duff blimp there |

 It's a bright sunny day in Springfield and its residents are out and about trying to shed their extra chocolate pounds. - Rainer Wolfcastle is bulking up in preparation for his new action movie: McBain Fights a Bad Guy.
- Hugs is taking a stroll around town as he makes sure all the eggs from Easter have been cleaned up. A few are still laying around.
- Willie works on his six pack by doing one-finger push-ups.
- Rod is enjoying some childhood fun on the monkey bars.
- Ralph is shedding pounds by running around in circles.
- Booberella is getting her zen on with some new meditation fad involving fire.
- The Grumple is getting fresh air and exercise as he plans his attack on Homer.
- Kirk is really getting a workout and building up some muscle by spinning his wooden sign.
- Otto jams on his guitar and performs tricky dance moves to burn his calories.
- Kent Brockman has really put on the pounds and is exercising incognito so no one will recognize him and see his large belly. Unfortunately for him, he looks pervy, so Lou is chasing after him.
- Skinner is afraid someone will get hurt in all this activity, so he's directing traffic.
- Snake is just too cool to car, so he continues to comb his hair.

 So we have the traditionalists, Martin cruisin', Carl pogoin' and Marge walkin' Maggie. Then we have Flanders, been hunting those turkeys, I mean wabbits, but can't shake the feeling of deja vu. Lisa and Willie are working out the song to be played at the funeral of the EA exec in charge of the Easter Update. Crazy Cat Lady is working on her throwing arm, as rabbit has been chosen the method of demise for said exec. And last is Brandine, who's working out her frustrations for not getting the large walking egg man, as she was informed they make the best omelets. |

Ok, real entry. Inspired by Milhouse wanting to get into shape, almost half the town is working out in front of the gyms near Burns' egg. Except Barney. Patty and Selma. But you really can't expect much of them.  |

HOLY PROCRASTINATION ERIN!  So Miss Springfield's feelin' kinda frisky today. You know her milkshake brings the boys to yard...and they turned out, trying to impress the beautiful bombshell. Gorgeous Grandpa, not to be outdone by some 2-bit floozy, starts struttin' his stuff. Get down with yo' bad self Gramps. I'm diggin' on those speedos. Strongman Homer attempts to impress by piggybacking Mr. Burns. Good think you're married my man, that aint scoring you any chicks. Wolfcastle is breaking a sweat, but Miss SF is not a fan of the tube socks. I, on the other hand, appreciate and enjoy. Mmmmhmmm. Lugash is working the 'stache, hoping Miss SF wants a ride. Dr. Hibbert. Those sweats. You can tell your wife is out spending your money if you're working out in THAT. Herman is obviously overcompensating with that big bayonet. Shirtless Willie...wrestling a snake...tempting. So much raw masculinity. Hmm. Flanders is just out for a jog. He doesn't know how the rest of the sidewalks disappered. Happens so randomly! Drederick Tatum, oh yeah, work a sweat, but don't open your mouth. And Respectable Moe. He was struttin' it in his best suit. Moe knew he needed an edge, and struttin' was more his style. Miss SF forgot about all those other boys. Give her a man in a suit any day. |

Ok, so first forum post!  The nice weather is bringing out lots of activity in the seedier parts of downtown Springfield, and possibly clouding some peoples judgment. Judge Snyder and Rev. Lovejoy are blissfully unaware of Legs’ shakedown at the Military Antique’s store. And as Herman is amping himself up to defend the store, Snake, Mr. Costington, and Cletus look-on while Fat Tony sets the mood for the ominous scene about to transpire. Krusty sure knows what’s going down.. Meanwhile, some light cardio is happening the next street over, near the small park where forgotten Easter eggs still wait to be found. Rod & Todd - Play on the See-Saw Ned - Power Walk Judge Snyder - Get In Shape For A Role Carl - Pogo Wolfcastle - Exercise Bart - Skateboard Herman - Train For Battle Rev. Lovejoy - Walk the Dog Building - All Night Gym Easter Deco - Pile of Eggs |
