a longitudinal field study

The Office Commute
Six Pack Initiative

The official tally of one subject's attempt to acquire abdominal definition by walking to and from the office. No gym membership. No dietary intervention. Just sidewalks, science, and a Galaxy Watch.

A cartoon commuter walking from a small house to a building labelled TECH OFFICE, lifting a t-shirt to display a six pack of comically improbable definition.

Every day, on the record.

One square per day since the initiative began. Greener squares are better for the abdominals. Empty squares are better for the sofa.
