A creative mind can come up with scores of cheap and easy ways to get rid of fat and stay fit that will not thwart your existing lifestyle. In fact, only about 1/48 of each day need be set aside solely for body-maintaining endeavors. The point is to move your bod. Work those mus- cles. Here are some suggestions: • Chew sugar-free gum all day and your metabolism can be raised up to 20 percent, which could cause a 10-pound weight loss over the duration of one year. • Lose your television remote control so you have to stand up, walk over to the TV and manually turn the station. This act, along with the avoidance of other labor-saving devices like electric can openers and garage door remotes, could help to easily burn at least 200 calories a day. • Pacing around the living room while talking on a cordless phone could be consid- ered light exercise. Doing it in the dark adds push-ups to the routine. • Sexercise is actually quite helpful for calorie burning, and surely could, if diligent- ly kept up, shed pounds and tone muscles. And if you can’t find a partner, do it yourself. • Gnawing on celery not only fills your gut, but your body actually burns more calo- ries trying to digest celery than the stringy stuff contains. No fair dipping it in peanut butter or Cheez-Whiz. • Keep your household tools dull and you’re sure to huff and puff as you saw on that birdhouse project or chisel that door jamb. • Load up your pockets with change and old keys, or see how long you can go without cleaning out your purse or wallet. It’s easy weight-training, and you never know when you might need that stuff. • Run naked — or sign up for UO visiting PR professor Dan Wieden’s course, and he’ll have you running naked through campus. • Breathe deeply. You’ve seen the bumper-sticker, now concentrate on your breath to make this simple yet healthy shift from shallowness. • Fret. It may not be healthy, but fret hard enough and you’ll find yourself lapping your digs. Now you just need a really long living room and you’ve got a workout. • Vote. You’ll be running … the country. • Taunt someone huge and stupid. Just figure our where you’ll run to first. Well, maybe you’re the stupid one. • Play Bush TV. Watch the six o’clock news. Wait ‘till President Bush comes on. When he starts to speak, start doing push- ups. When he says something really intelli- gent, stop. Hope you’ve had your Wheaties. • Trade in your reliable vehicle for an old Volkswagen. Need we say more? A healthy body can be yours, even with- out health club membership or expensive exercise equipment. Just crank up your imagination. — E.
