Getting in Shape

I have finally gotten the new treadmill out of the garage and into the basement so I now have a complete workout facility where I can turn the music up loud and look like a complete fool with no one watching me.
The tread mill is a rather complicated thing with lots of settings and incline capabilities. I set it up and got on it. I figured I would start out slow, so I pressed 3 (out of 10) and the belt started to turn. HeY! this is not so bad, I can do this pretty well. Those are famous last words! Being a guy, I started pressing buttons to try this or that. It was less than 2 minutes before I was completely exhausted. Well, I will try again tomorrow and try to keep my hand off the shiny buttons.
Luckily, I did not have this fellow's luck.

That was hysterical! The video I mean, not the bit about you only lasting 2 minutes, I was more impressed with that! ;)

Oh, I'm about to tag your blog with a meme thingy from my blog. Hope you dont mind!

You should never start off with as long a time as 2 minutes!! What were you thinking of?
I couldnt stop crying with laughter at the video.
My man and I are planning taking up exercise so we dont LOOK like that Polar Bear at our wedding, but maybe I will stick to tennis!
Keep 'em coming. It's good to laugh.

Lady M -
I have noticed where your daughter go her good looks from, so you should know that you have nothing to fear on your wedding day (except Jimmy the Spider!). I honestly thought that you two were sisters at first glance.
