Nah. I wouldn’t. I am an ectomorph. The proviso, though, would have to be that the bod would stay that way, not counting normal aging. I must be dreaming.
Hmm, lucky you! Maybe we should call this the “Dorian Gray Fitness Pill.” Please continue to dream…. of Fun and Fit!
Interesting question. That would depend on the side-effects I guess. Or, the price of the pills.
You rock SherwinRocks! Let’s say the pill was free, tasty (not some veggie, low cal, unfulfilling taste mind you), with no side effects – just a fit, fab bod. Would you still want to exercise?
I gotta “Pass On The Pill ladies. I mean, it’s bad enough i hardly get any free time outdoors as it is. Plus, working out gives me that “um sooooo strong” (Arnold voice) kinda feelin, that boost my self esteem like no pill ever could. Keep the pill. Gimme the thrill
Hell yeah I would take it. I’d also take the cooking pill, the carpooling pill, the catbox-cleaning pill, and the makeup/hair pill. Substitute a pill for the above and I’d have time to do absolutely nothing.
Dear Glamorgal:
More accurately, you would have time to read our posts and take our advice. I like where you are going with this.
Still would do it when there was good music involved. Don’t get to club enough because SB sucks. Court of last resort – turn the watts up and boogie in the kitchen.
Honey, I would take the pill along with a pack of donuts!
I think a couple of you need to meet up in the donut shop and wash this magic pill down with decaf. The rest of us will be out exercising and getting that natural high that makes active people seem like they’re on caffeine! Of course, we do try to avoid the dreaded “perky.”
Though I am finding it hard to make time for exercise, I know that when I do get back in shape, I will feel a great deal of satisfaction. I don’t think I would want such a pill. The joy is in the journey, in my humble and completely insane opinion.
One of the main reasons I train these days is because most of my friends or other like minded people can be found in the gym. If we could just take a pill that would make us look better, our bones stronger, our anxiety lower, our heart/lungs more efficient at pumping blood, where would we go and what would we do with our spare time? I think that most of us begin a healthy lifestyle because we have a particular goal in mind but after we achieve said goal and are just in maintenance mode, we realize that what keeps training from being monotonous is because of the people that surround us and motivate us. I don’t think that there could ever be a pill to replace the social aspect
Then there’s the aspect of what Brian Meeks said in that there’s a tremendous sense of personal accomplishment in being the best that you can possibly be and help to inspire others to achieve that same feeling. To take a pill to make us “perfect” then becomes a purely philosophical question since who gets to define “perfect’? As the saying goes, the grass is always greener in that most people can never be satisfied with what they have, especially if they didn’t do anything to earn it. To know that you worked hard for something gives the greatest satisfaction of all. Just like Napoleon wept when there was no lands left to conquer, people like us would feel the same way in one way or another.

nothing compares to an hour of heavy weight lifting… and one hour of aerobics… noting can replace them
the feeling is great.. the feeling is the one that makes me keep on training.. not necessarily the fact that i want to lose weight or build some muscles…
