When Encouraging Exercise Gets Weird
The thought process in regards to this:
Initially horrified.
Gradually interested.
Eventually finds self wondering if they could add these to my gym.
Thanks to Eric Berlin for the link.

I think my kids would LOVE these! Though I'm sure there are negatives, think about all the great aspects - the kids stay entertained, they get to think they are "Watching TV", and they are exercising - hoping with mom or dad exercising alongside.
What horrifies me most about this is that Richard Simmons is recommending the product. Does anyone know his true age? He does not look good...wearing silky shorts and a tank top should be banned for this "gentleman." Why a youngster would look at him and be encouraged to exercise I'm not sure...perhaps staying away from drugs might be a better way for Simmons to exploit himself.
For those who are still horrified by plastic reading cycles, may I suggest this, instead? Not as gimicky, but way cool:
