If your new years resolution consists of hitting the gym more without giving up alcohol, this is the workout for you.
The infamous "Captain Morgan's Pose" is now featured in a "workout" video from Pereira & O'Dell and production company Station Film. No, it doesn't require you to simultaneously take swigs from the spiced rum while assuming the leg lift position, but it wouldn't hurt.
This workout (and I use that term loosely) might have you pulling a hamstring before it gets you breaking a sweat. Captain Morgan promises you results by repeating the "lift, hold and down" exercise...for only the left leg of course.
The opening credits advise pose participants against engaging in the workout while "operating heavy machinery, working in a mine with hazardous gases, preforming with predatory animals and geese, preforming any form of surgery, wearing tight fitting European swim trunks, yodeling, annoying bees, or whilst engaged in any form of political debate." Just in case you were thinking about multitasking.
If you get nothing else from this video at least remember the three things a pirate is famous for: looting, pillaging, and developing high intensity, low impact resistance training programs.
Although the workout fails, Pereira & O'Dell succeed in putting a funny new twist on the Captain Morgan ads we've seen time and time again.
