Question of the Day

Isn't the whole point behind exercising to push your body to the maximum? To exert yourself to burn calories, build muscle, get your heart racing, sweat your fat out.......etc?

When I go to the gym, I see people scantily clothed on the treadmill or the exercise bike or in the jazzersize room. Just tiny shorts and tank tops.

When I'm at the beach, I see swimmers 100 yards off swimming up and down the beach wearing nothing but speedos.

On Saturday mornings when I try to run over bicyclers, I see them in skin tight leotards breaking the wind with aerodynamics.

I don't get all this. If it's exercise, shouldn't you be making it harder on yourself. Shouldn't we see people at the gym wrapped in sweats and a Glad Bag? Shouldn't swimmers have jeans on with a bag of sand taped to their back? Shouldn't bicyclers wear skydiving suits?

Why make it easy? Just a thought.
