some honesty at last

leafing through the girlie magazine section of the sunday broadsheet it was nice to finally see an article on health-and-fitness which told the truth. usually they get away with any amount of fashionable flim-flam. maybe they've figured out facts can't hurt? or that women are sick of being lied to? anyway, these were the salient points:

1. running isn't injurious.
2. pilates is useless for fitness or weight loss (hallelujah!).
3. yoga doesn't fix bad backs.

though i would have liked to see "you are kidding yourself if you think walking is exercise". but we can't have everything.

it's a start.
