Doing it the old fashioned way

After some years of living without a TV I now have found myself with quite a flat screen in my living room. And what do I see? People who visit teh gym 6 times a week advertising a device that stimulates abdominal muscles. Electronically. Bzzzt!

The promise ususally going along these lines: "Just 2 minutes per day while watching this commercial in the privacy of your home you will get flat stomach/dream abs/long awaited success in life/whatnot..". Body fat is not discussed at all.

The really serious implication of these advertisements is that there must be a buying audience for these products, otherwise they would not be aired. Abasement. In any case, the best way to get ruthlessly fit is to get in touch with mother nature:



Fitness you must, and I cannot think of a better way than doing a run on a cushioning blanket of fresh snow in the winter forest. Since my skis and tillbehör are in another country, running it must be.






A giant bubble has landed in the forest. My god!








Strictly no horseplay. But skiing is quite alright. Be sure to be dynamic, though.
