So no pressure or anything, but what are you waiting for?

Look, we’re not going to make a big deal about the cliche of resolutions and new beginnings and all that. You’re an adult. You’ve heard it all by now and you can make your own decisions without us giving you some BS ra-ra speech about this Life Fitness Dual Watch and Heart Rate Monitor and how it could be so great for your new workout regimen or daily jog or whatever you might be planning.

But seriously. It could be.

Nine states now have an obesity rate of 30% or higher. NINE. Before 2000, NO states hit that mark. So while we’ve enjoyed selling you iPods and Xbox gear and other various things to amuse you as you sit in your leather sofa and gradually become a part of it, maybe you should consider getting this and starting an exercise regimen. It doesn’t have to be a resolution if that’s too much pressure or expectation or whatever. It can just be a thing you do: moving.

But again, you’re a grown up. So if you don’t want to exercise that’s your prerogative, we guess. We’re kind of curious as to what your plan is for undoing this inexorable march toward an early death you’ve got going, but we can’t make you come up with one. All we can tell you is that it will be harder to start tomorrow than today, and it will be harder to start when you’re 50 and the doctor tells you if you don’t start you’ll die, than when you’re in your 20s or 30s and can still make a dent in the damage.

But if you’re one of those people sick of people trying to tell you how to live your life or whatever, don’t worry. We’re sure it’ll be some bright and shiny time-wasting device designed to keep you sedentary for sale here tomorrow.
