Show It just isn't fair Take this fitness examination ,t By Mary Gae Evans PAHOWAN - I've just finished watching the women Superstar competition on TV and they ran and swam and jumped amf rode bikes until I was exhausted just watching. It makes the exercise I get walking out to the car and back look pretty sick. Everyone's always telling us that we must exercise and keep physically fit to be healthy, wealthy, and wiseor something like that. Anyway, to help out with this idea, I'm, going to set forth a little test here that you can sit down to take and find out if you are physically fit. First of all, do you leap out of bed in the morning, eyes shining, and do exercises for 15 minutes; or, do you just sort of roll out, figuring you can open your eyes at a later date? Do you really admire Jack Lalane; or, do you hiss and boo and turn off the television when he comes on? Do you have your housework all finished by 10 a.m.; or, has the work finished you by then? If you jog for a block or two, do you feel refreshed and invigorated; in-vigorated; or, do you have to pick up your feet to keep from stepping on your tongue? Can you outrun your 4-year old; or, do you have to bribe him to come back and to get dressed before he goes to the neighbor's? When the kids scatter toys on the floor do you bend over and pick them up; or, do you resort to crawling to save strain on your back? When your boy scout troop suggests a good brisk hike in the mountains, do you go; or, do you sit at the bottom of the hill eating all the lunch while they hike? Do you prefer Gin Rummy to tennis or bowling? Would you rather jump rope or jump your opponent in checkers? If you said checkers, I'm with you pal. I'm all worn out from pushing this pen. I think I'll go have a short nap before dinner. |
