weight and airports

Good morning from Orlando...The American Academy of Anti-Aging conference starts today and if I perchance find the fountain of youth I will drink lots from that fountain and will reward those of you reading this blog with some sips.

Yesterday at Dulles airport I saw a gentleman riding an escalator down a very large decline and then watched him proceed to climb up the very large amount of stairs from which level he had just come from. The journey seemed pointless but then I realized that he was actually exercising. I thought this was very cool. Rather than sit at the bar watching ESPN and downing a beer, sitting at the Sbarros and consuming a pizza or standing on line at the Haagen Daz ice cream place, he elected to wait for his plane by burning off calories rather than consuming them. He took an opportunity to convert "downtime" to caloric burn-off time with no need for gym clothes or exercise equipment.

Take a step back and analyze your trips to see if there are similar opportunities to take "downtime" and make use of it for helping your weight loss efforts.

Okay, I have not put a little contest in this blog for a bit so here goes: winner(s) will get a free bottle of our Serotonin multivitamin and your name will go into a drawing to win a Collector's Edition Serotonin-Plus "Just Lose It" exercise shirt. Here goes: (NO INTERNET HELP!!! YOU ARE ON THE HONOR SYSTEM!!!) The Three Stooges...Moe, Larry and Curley....name the LAST names of them all!!! Nuk, nuk nuk....(you people under 40 have no chance!!! laughing)
