Workout videos seem like an ideal thing. I mean, they teach you workouts in the privacy of your own home, and you don't have to deal with your unreasonable phobia that people are watching you and silently judging you because -- unlike them -- you actually look like you need to work out.
Here's the problem with me and workout videos.
Most workout videos feature girls who range from very cute to smokin' hot.
And I am a big dumb male.
Seriously. Look at this video.
How, exactly, am I supposed to focus on working out when I can be looking at that on the screen?
Despite all of this, I am losing weight. Which is a very good thing. I'm about back to being able to wear the jeans I wore through most of college. And I'm feeling more healthy and energetic and focused. All of this has happened since I saw this movie, which kind of made me angry both about the American food system and the dietary/nutritional advice industries, most of which seems to be based on the idea that what hasn't worked will work, provided that we just do more of it.
Case in point: Statins for kids.
