Nine Times The Exercise



If I didn't know better I'd swear that Lionsgate is trying to tell me something.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and like all Americans I will overeat, wallow in my over-indulgence and promise to go on a diet and (shutter!) exercise.

It seems that Lionsgate has anticipated the holiday gluttony season and has taken the steps necessary to whip we lazy Americans back into shape-at least until next year.

Nine (count them nine!) DVDs have just been released by Lionsgate-all of them pertaining to diet and exercise.  Least you think that you are spared. Every conceivable type of exercise and fitness angle has been covered.  So, you have no excuse-neither do  I.

Fortunately I caught the exercise bug a couple of years ago and I manage to keep my weight down.  Of course turning 60 in one month had nothing to do with it.  If you believe that then I have a pill that will miraculously loose weight and obtain washboard abs.  Right....

Jimmy Pena presents a 30-day body toning system that not only tones your body but strengthens your faith-it even includes weekly devotionals with Pray Fit.

So, there you have it.  No excuses! Get out there and exercise.  After pigging out at Thanksgiving or course.
