WORK WITH ME HERE PEOPLE

What we need in this country is some consistency: we talk the talk and need to walk the walk. What am I talking about? Why exercise of course.

It occurred to me last Sunday as I was doing my daily walking around the block, that there is no consistency in this society. Every doctor including your basic eye, ear, nose and throat doctor and not excluding the eye doctors, say you need to exercise to stay healthy. How does staying healthy translate into making medicine a great paying career that it is? Well, the more you exercise, the more your chances are of breaking a bone, pulling a ligament or even ripping a muscle. There is also the out side chance of dislocating a joint, all will prove healthy in maintaining a doctor’s healthy income.

But let’s look beyond the money and concentrate of the exerciser instead of the exercisee, and look at the long-term benefits of such foolishness.

Being we are now in a new age, one that looks for convenience and efficiency, with such tools as the cell-phone and all that it can do. If you notice, there is always an app for some kind of thing or other. Apps for shopping lists, apps for weather and even locating restaurants in the neighborhood. For instance there is ‘YELP’ an app that when I first heard about it thought what a great idea! An app to report dogs that bark, only to be turned away in my thinking and learning it was for finding restaurants! There are apps for sports scores and GPS apps to assist you on your way. But I have an important question: WHERE THE HELL IS THE APP THAT IS NEEDED FOR EXERCISING???

Let’s face it: exercising is the one guilt trip most of us are on: we don’t get enough exercise so we are told. Well, if there was an exercise app: that would complete life. Look at me, over the hill but not yet under it, I could use an exercise app. But you must be wondering: “How the hell would it work DelBloggolo?”

Very simple! You go to your cell-phone, tap the exercise app, type in how many reps or miles you want, name the app your name, and start the thing running. All you need to do is take a nap for as long as the app runs! You get your exercise and your rest, all at the same time. Now here is the beauty of it all: when the doctor asks if you exercise you say: Yes! You take out your cell-phone and show him the documentation and he leaves you alone.

Please, don’t thank me.
