I remember when I was a kid watching a National Geograhpic special about some people or other that hunted monkeys with blowguns as their primary source of food...

They would give their kids some kind of noxious plant that would make them vomit forcefully for a few hours at a time as a way of strengthing their abd muscles. I'm guessing that it probably worked, and was likely much less irritating than the above technique....

Can you imagine a gym full of overweight people doing this and laughing. Gives a whole new meaning to all fat people being jolly.

Hey now, as a fatty, I almost take offense to that. You're lucky I'm tired from walking to get my coffee from the kitchen just now, or I'd shake my fist in anger at you.

Although, there is something damn funny about the mental picture of a dozen 400+lb'ers all in a line, doing deep-lunges while laughing like Santa.

Hey CpHt, I'm a fatty too. And I can't get the image of an entire Zoomba class being told that they are now doing ab crunches all while laughing out of my head.
