Cult comic duo Corne and Twakkie, have their own idea of exercise, and as a warm-up to their up and coming show (The Most Amazing Show) from 19 November to 1 December, they bring us 10 tips on exercising during the silly season.

Exercise tips

  • Don’t kill yourself, it's not worth it.

  • Always use a fresh dog.

  • Keep the equipment in the gym dry. Towels is good, toilet paper is bad.

  • Train to music — preferably something like Enya. It will make you so desperate to get out of the gym that you will work double time extra hard.

  • Give yourself rewards, like a nice pizza and cake and milkshake after a good workout.

  • Punish yourself. Like after you gave yourself a nice pizza and cake and milkshake after a good workout.

  • Be logical — watching sport on TV is not exercise. Except if it's ice skating and you love it too much and it makes you feel kind of frisky, and you’re absolutely sure there's no-one else in the house.

  • Use your environment. Why don’t you chase the pigs back into their cage for a change instead of letting your cousin Drieko do it all the time?

  • Ignore anything Manto Tshabalala says about exercise.

  • Apply for a new ID. Endless walking, stair climbing and standing in long queues for hours upon hours is great exercise and who knows, you may even get a new ID in the process.

The Most Amazing Show is on from 19 November - 1 December at the Baxter Concert Hall, Cape Town. Book through Computicket or visit their their website.
