Look at this!! This is our couch potato answer LOL.


Couch potatoes can get some of the benefits of exercise with a new drug, researchers say. So far, it has been tested only in mice. After four weeks of taking it, they burned more calories and had less fat than other mice. They also could run 44% farther and 23% longer on a treadmill. Mice who also exercised regularly got even more benefit with a second drug that was tested. They could run 68% longer and 70% farther than mice that exercised but didn't get the drug. The study was published online by the journal Cell.

I heard this could be helpful for people who can't exercise because of health conditions.  Not for the already healthy.

Lucky little bastards!!!it would help keeping the weight off..it won't do anything for muscles strengthI agree with Jasmine.  LOL

I loved the natural high after exercising when I was able.  The endorphins really go.  Good feeling.  My opinion.
