I'm an Unhealthy Young Person

See the link attached to this post.  My family gathered recently, and we couldn't stop talking about how there's no more exercise in our lives.  Growing up, gym was a part of every day in every year of school.  Our state has a very aggressive physical education system.  It's just amazing to think that I used to actually stop everything I was doing each day to run a mile or play basketball.  I couldn't imagine that happening at work.


It's a strange scenario to think about.  You're sitting at your desk looking over yesterday's reports and then, with the sound of an alarm, everyone around you starts shuffling towards the bathrooms to change into gym suits.  Could we just put our work aside and join in a game of kickball?  We have over 66 employees at any given time. Where would we go?  How would it work?  There's plenty of employees that don't exercise.  I find it hard waking up early to go to the gym.  I also find it hard to come home with a throbbing headache or a starving stomach and actually be motivated enough to go sweat out my frustrations at a gym.  It's too hard.  I think Americans need more forced workout regimens.  We can't do it on our own.  Either your routine has working out in it or it doesn't. 

Some of us need to be forced.
