Really think about it - It's funny!

While I was at the gym today moving my legs in circles on the eliptical machine and really putting a lot of effort into it, I started laughing... It felt kinda dumb to be putting so much effort into moving my body but really not going anywhere!
It's interesting how we think we are saving so much time and effort by having dishwashers, microwaves, cell phones, automatic cars, being able to shop online, buying your food without getting out of the car, etc... But then we need to go spend at least one hour a day exerting ourselves without really having an immediate purpose. In the old days, you would put a lot of effort into your daily activities but with an immediate goal in mind. Such as squating down to pick up logs and do a few bicep curls to bring them inside the house to use them for fire for cooking. These days we do squats and bicep curls just for the heck of it! The more I thought about this and looked around the gym the funnier it got! So don't skip the gym tomorrow but try not to laugh :)
