Opus, I sympathize. Calisthenics are so sleep-inducing!

I love exercise, but give me yoga any day - it hurts just enough that you can’t fall asleep.

I can sit and watch all day.

Ah my chubby little penguin, you don’t need aerobics

If you watch the excersize channel asleep it doesn’t do much.

Last year my wife had to stay home for a few months to recover from surgery so we got a TV and a cable subscription for the first time (we’re in our 50’s) ‘cause we figured the painkillers would lower her IQ enough to enjoy TV. It worked as long as she was on the percocet, but I never “got” it. Now she’s all better, and back to work, and today we had Comcast come and pick up their box and cancel the service. We’ll keep the TV - it makes a handy big-screen 1920x1080 monitor for our PC’s.

plnelson, we do without TV as well. I miss certain sporting events, but that is it. My wife has always lived without cable. Until I met her I had them all, for the movie channels, now we have netflix.

Is this Richard Simmons or Jack Lalanne? Sometimes I can’t tell the difference. And did I spell that last name right?
