A button I use to wear back in the 80’s when running became the en vogue thing to do…..I never had time to join a running club or gym….I was too busy trying to earn a living and to keep my family fed to be so self-absorbed……..

But recently I have been looking at the beauty culture that has been spawned in Hell…..where people must have a certain appearance to be considered one of the “pretty people”….you know hairless men, women who have no butt and their measurements are the same all the way down…people that their self worth is tied to their body mass……..

But then I saw this report and smiled…….

(Newser) – With some studies showing the health benefits of running—good cholesterol levels, improved blood pressure—may be offset by heart conditions like plaque buildup in arteries and arrhythmia in extreme athletes, doctors are divided on whether there’s such a thing as too much exercise. While one doctor says, “there is compelling evidence that there’s no upper limit,” another tells the Wall Street Journal, “why wouldn’t there be a relationship between over exercise and heart disease?”

“I don’t want anyone to read that exercise can be bad for you,” says a columnist for TheHeart.org. “Some folks do tons of exercise and are protected. Some folks probably have some individual susceptibility to it. I’m a big believer in short intervals of high intensity.” Recent research indicates that any benefit runners see drops off beyond 30 miles a week, the Journal notes. Still, a veteran marathoner says he’s not worried by the blurring line between runners and the not-so-healthy among us. “There are guys who live to be 100 smoking cigarettes and eating cheeseburgers.” Click for the full piece.

Do not get me wrong healthy is a good thing but not to the point that you judge other people……do you want me judging you by IQ capability?

Then there is the exercise thing……we all need motivation, some need more than others…..but I do believe that this woman has founbd the perfect motivation to exercise……

ALFRED, Maine (AP) — A Zumba fitness instructor who pleaded guilty to using her Maine studio as a front for prostitution is going to jail, bringing to an end a scandal featuring sex videos, adultery and exhibitionism.

Alexis Wright was sentenced Friday under a plea agreement to 10 months in jail for 20 counts including prostitution, conspiracy, tax evasion and theft by deception.

Afterward, she was led from the courtroom by a court officer.

The 30-year-old Wright was accused of conspiring with an insurance business owner to run a prostitution business in which she videotaped clients without their knowledge and kept detailed records over an 18-month period indicating she made $150,000 tax-free while collecting welfare.

I knew those Zumba instructors were just a bit too sexy……now we know!
