Grimes' Workout Routine Is A Hilarious Parody Of All Celebrity Workout Routines

07/17/2019

In this age of DIY bedroom and influencer culture, it can be hard to tell the real social media posts from the fake ones.

Sometimes, though, it’s really easy!

Take Grimes’ recent Instagram post about her collaboration with Adidas, for example. In the post, Adidas asks her about her training regime. And her answer is a wellness word vomit that is a masterclass in millennial satire.

ADIDAS: Tell us about ur training regimen ? GRIMES: My training is a 360 approach. I first maintain a healthy cellular routine where I maximize the function of my mitochondria with supplements such as NAD+, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Magnesium, etc. This helps promote ATP and it’s incredibly visceral. From that point I spend 2-4 hours in my deprivation tank, this allows me to “astro-glide” to other dimensions – past, present, and future. In the afternoons I do a 1-2 hour sword fighting session with my trainer, James Lew, we go over the fundamentals that work the obliques, core stabilizes, and triceps as well as a few tricks. To wind down from this I spend 30-45 minutes on an inclined hike at roughly 4-4.5 miles per hour, arguably the most efficient workout. I then spend 45 minutes stretching before heading into the studio where my mind and body are functioning at peak level, with a neuroplastic goal between 57.5 and 71.5 AphC’s (which is my preferred range for my blood type). I’ve outfitted my studio with the highest grade of red light. It is pretty much 1000 sqf IR Sauna. Hana then comes over and we do a screaming session for 20-25 minutes while I slow boil the honey tea that maximizes vocal proficiency. I have also eliminated all blue light from my vision through an experimental surgery that removes the top film of my eyeball and replaces it with an orange ultra-flex polymer that my friend and I made in the lab this past winter as a means to cure seasonal depression. I go to bed with a humidifier on. #asmc #adidasparley #createdwithadidas #gentrifymordor

She doesn’t explicitly say anywhere that this is a parody, but the overtly exaggerated elements of her response make it clear that this can’t be anything but fiction.

To start, she pokes fun at all those supplements with pseudo-sciencey claims.

…And insanely time-consuming workout routines that no one with a full-time job could actually commit to.

I wish this were real because seasonal depression is no joke, people.

When I reached out to London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital to verify the science behind Grimes’ eyeball surgery, they told me they couldn’t comment because they believed the regime was “meant in satire.”

I mean, yeah lol.

People have picked up on the parody element as well and their comments are hilarious.
