Rolling into the New Year
By: Mike Murphy / Social Insecurity
As the football season winds down in January,
many of us dedicated sports fans will soon
need to make an appointment to have a doctor
surgically remove our posteriors from the couch in front of the
television.
Just like the football players, I too am determined to get “bigger,
faster, stronger” in the New Year. Okay, scratch faster and stronger, but
bigger I can do if I really set my mind to it.
I admit that I was a bit shocked to find myself hyperventilating and
sweating profusely simply from watching a 30-second Ab-Cruncher TV
sales pitch recently! Truth is, if it wasn’t for watching the holiday home
workout equipment ads on TV, I wouldn’t be getting any exercise at all.
Let’s face it, you know your situation is not good when the TV weightloss
commercials depict the before and after pictures, and you would
sell your soul to look like the person in the before shot!

Senior health and peace of mind have
been my priority for over 18 years.
I work with you to help you understand
Medicare and find a plan with the right
benefits.
One shape-up solution involves rolling around on rubber balls
of various sizes. For seniors, the ads proclaim that fitness balls help
improve balance and strength. That’s if you can prevent the ball from
squirting out from underneath you and your rear end plopping down
on the hard floor.
Have you noticed that the people demonstrating these exercise
devices are already in tip-top condition and can roll around endlessly
on a tiny rubber ball without their hands or feet even touching the
floor? While you or I suffer a lower back injury just reaching for the
remote to change the channel to a burger commercial.
And why do they offer two Bun-Blaster Balls for the price of one? Are
they implying that I need one for each cheek? Or that I most likely will
break the first one when I sit on it?
One inevitable bonus result of all those exercise equipment ads
and the countless Christmas gifts that result from them, is that come
around, oh, say, April or May, as sure as the dandelions spring up after
the spring rain, there will be a huge increase in want-ads advertising
great deals on “barely used” or “still in the box” treadmills, stationary
bikes—and large (flat) rubber balls.
