Exercising Thursday, April 22, 2004
There comes a time when the average person, who sits on the couch eating potato chips, comes to realize that it just may be high time he or she gets off the couch and do some exercise. As his or her stomach stretches out as far as it can to hold the chips it smiles at the thought the brain is sending the rest of the body. Soon the average person gets up, gets dressed in the sweat pants that just don't quite fit any longer, and heads across town to the gym.
When that average person gets there, he/she has the work out of a life time. Running, walking, stretching, lifting, swimming, a little yoga thrown in at the end, and finally a nice health drink for the way home.
The next day the average person decides that the gym is just too far away from where he/she lives and he/she just doesn't have the time to drive all the way there. So... end of work out.
A few months later a brand new gym opens up a block away. The average person is thrilled and quickly decides to get up off the couch, back into the non fitting sweats, and heads to the new gym. Once again, he/she runs, lifts weights, does sit-ups, and even uses the raquet ball court and has yet another work out of a life time.
The very next day the average person thinks that, yes the new gym is convenient, but a bit too expensive so once again... end of work out.... back to the couch.
A little while longer the average person's work builds a gym right where they work. The average person evens receives a key so he/she can use it at night when no one is around. And the best part is... it's free! Of course the average person jumps at the chance for that and puts back on those sweat pants and has his/her third work out of a life time. This time as he/she rides the bike, lifts the weights, climbs the stairs; he/she listens to his/her own music brought in with him/her. It's almost too perfect.
Then the following day, after the person gets out of work, he/she thinks, "Man, I have been at work all day long... I dont want to stay to work out." So the person goes home to sit on the couch. End of work out.
But alas! While watching TV the average person sees an over jealous work-out man using a machine that seems to be the easiest way to lose weight ever! Knowing that he/she can't go wrong with the work out machine right in the privacy of his/her own house, he/she quickly sends away for it. When it arrives he/she works out watching the FREE DVD sent with it, and for the fourth time in his/her life has the work out of a life time.
The next day while sitting on the couch eating potato chips, the average person decides... even if someone were to strap an exercise maching to his/her body, he/she would eventually find a reason why he/she couldn't excercise.
End of work out.
