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!

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