The Geek Way to Tone Muscles

I know that many of you may find this difficult to believe but sitting behind a computer screen day in and out is hard on your thighs, waistline, hips, and derriere. I know many of you out there are saying 'surely she jests' but it is true. The number of hours I spend writing each day is the number of hours that I am no longer out and about. Until the day when they invent a program that can simply type out my thoughts while I wander around the room I'll have to suffer through this or find a different profession.

I have a sneaky suspcision that I am not the only person in the world who has a job that literally chains them to a desk on a daily basis. For those of you out there like myself there is hope. At least I hope there is hope. There is a bit of the skeptic in me as nothing could really be this easy but wow, what if it really were this easy? To save you the suspense, I am talking about a new gadget (we all know how much I love my gadgets) that is supposed to literally work out your muscles for you. While I would be interested in this particular product for the massage feature alone, I must admist the muscle toning implications are intriguing to someone like myself.

Perhaps it's the same curiosity that got the proverbial cat killed, however, I am really considering adding this nifty device to my personal wish list. It is called the HealthCare Ston-O-Max Turbo Body Toner and the implications of this product are simply amazing if it lives up to its promise.

I have not however gone off the deep end and completely realize that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. In the meantime a girl can dream about cutting out the workout portion of each day and night by toning her muscles as she goes about the usual tasks of writing away or preparing meals for the family. Even during outside play time I can be getting a workout for my muscles at the price of a one time investment. Yes I know, you all think I've finally gone completely off the deep end. This may be the case but desperate times call for desperate measures. Now, if only they would invent a calorie free, fat free chocolate that actually tasted like chocolate--my world would be complete!
