I’ve always thought that exercise was a stupid way to lose weight (make muscle, enjoy yourself, experience zen moments in nature, compete with peers, sure, lose weight, no). I mean, all this running around and jumping up in down is just in aid of getting your body in the mood to do the cellular stuff that makes all your fat vanish. Why can’t it just, you know, get in the mood? University of Dundee researchers are playing with a therapy that tricks your body into thinking that you’re being physically active (and hence deserve to burn off some dim sum and pizza) even if you’re just, you know, blogging. Where can I get some?
