COLLAPSE AND SPASTIC TWITCHING ARE THE BEST EXERCISE
I can't fault DJ Reese, the author of this article on fitness for The Poughkeepsie Journal, because columnists often don't write the headlines for their own pieces. I'd like to have a conversation with the editor about this one though:
"Let fitness be your stun gun of achievement"
Really? When I think of someone getting hit by a stun gun, it involves the recipient flopping around and screaming in agony--okay, I guess that's basically what exercise is. But mostly it involves seeing them peeing themselves. Is this the apt metaphor the editor or author is shooting for? Fitness is the equivalent of a several-hundred volt debilitating shock to your nervous system? That wouldn't seem encouraging to achieving anything to me. That would encourage me to hide in my closet with a bag of doughnuts, Doritos, and a bottle of Coke Classic.
Perhaps DJ Reese is just an unconventional personal trainer, who stands behind his/her clients with an electrified cattle prod for when they start slacking. If that is the case, I'm definitely blaming the editor.
