I recently read
that 100% of Americans are out of shape.
I know this can’t be true for a number of reasons.
1. I have seen
the trailer for Magic Mike. Those guys look pretty fit to me. My wife may have mentioned their
“fitness” a few times since she returned from seeing it with some of her lady
friends. Apparently those guys
spend a lot of time on their glutes.
2. The number of obstacle course races that have popped up
over the last few years. Between the Tough
Mudder, the Warrior Dash, the USMC Mud Run, the Spartan Race, and the Rugged Maniac there must be at least a
couple hundred fit folks racing in these things. I think we may be entering an
obstacle course bubble. I hope
when the bubble bursts it doesn’t cause a double-dip recession. A burst is inevitable. There can’t possibly be enough of a
market to support all these races.
It is now at the point where they have to come up with gimmicks to get
people to race in them. Zombies? Really? I am looking forward to the logical
conclusion: A real-life version of The Running Man. According to the trailer is less than 5
years away. Start working on your snappy retorts now.
3. I happen to know the author of the study and he is full
of crap. And Skittles.
