Shrimp on a Treadmill
Tuesday November 25, 2008
Do crustaceans get more exercise than you do over the holidays? Enjoy this shrimp on a treadmill video. You can find numerous mash-ups of it on YouTube, set to "Chariots of Fire" and "Theme from Rocky." Doesn't that inspire you to get off the couch? Don't be a sedentary slug, be a sprinting shrimp!
Why is the shrimp on a treadmill? Researcher David Scholnick at Pacific University uses the treadmill to test the health of marine animals. He even makes them wear duct tape backpacks to stress them further. No slacking over the holidays, people, or the shrimp may be grilling YOU!

Cute alternative to WW. But if a shrimp works out more than I do, then i am feeling pretty badly about my lazy self right now.
