Quote:Well, a remarkable new study from Brian Clark at Ohio University shows that sitting still, while just thinking about exercise, might make us stronger. Clark and colleagues recruited 29 volunteers and wrapped their wrists in surgical casts for an entire month. During this month, half of the volunteers thought about exercising their immobilized wrists. For 11 minutes a day, 5 days a week, they sat completely still and focused their entire mental effort on pretending to flex their muscles. When the casts were removed, the volunteers that did mental exercises had wrist muscles that were two times stronger than those that had done nothing at all.
FINALLY! An exercise I can actually do, except maybe the focusing for 11 minutes part, but other than that, an exercise I can do! Actually, I probably could do this while driving. Man, I'm gonna be ripped by the end of summer. Sweet.
