The Royal Shakespeare Company has come up with an alternative to going to the gym for people trying to achieve the recommended 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise a week. It involves nothing more energetic than watching the Bard’s work.
A research project by the company during which heart monitors were attached to 107 volunteers before a production of Titus Andronicus found that watching it was equivalent to a five-minute cardiovascular workout.
For ardent theatregoers hoping to avoid exercise altogether, they could achieve the target recommended by the NHS by watching 15 performances of Titus a week, or two a day with one extra.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
