how to have fun exercising. brilliant.

watch the video	9:24 AM (52 minutes ago)
to me

This will get everyone using the stairs

Watch what a group of engineers did, using fun to get people to use a long staircase with a moving escalator right next to it... Originally, no one took the stairs, almost 97% of the people took the escalator...
Notice how engineers changed how people reacted to climbing a long stair case as their first choice .... 66% more people then took the stairs ...What great exercise !!....

comments on fire walking which i have done successfully: 


 like most commentators on firewalking the author probably never did it. if there is a "simple secret" why doesn't he talk about his fire walking experience and why do some people get burned and others not.  at the yoga camp the fire was made from very large logs not coal.  other places they do it on very hot stone.  how do you step lightly? that is nonsense.  if you weigh 145 lb. as i did that is how much pressure is applied to the surface with one,s foot.  the quick step part makes some sense but in my walk some people were quick others slow.   i am sure that i was not in any sort of state of altered consciousness.  i sure as hell wasn't at any kind of peak state.   his suggestion that awareness meditation might have helped is true for the subjective experience of pain but not for the tissue damage and blisters.  whether one thinks of cool moss or hot coals, some get burned and others don't

i love the rest of the article.  finally my negativity, pessimism, and cynicism (or is it realism) are vindicated.  screw pollyanna, i'll bet on murphy every time.
