As some of you may know, I’m a computer engineer by day (and a superhero by night, but that’s a different story). The life of a computer technician is filled with enriching opportunities in the areas of Sitting All Day, Not Moving, and Forgetting Why You Have Feet.

I only get one body in this life, assuming I never have my brain placed in a cyborg gorilla. Barring advances in cyborg gorilla technology, I should expect to remain encased in this particular collection of meat and calcium for the duration. I’d prefer to enjoy being in it, and I’d like it to last well into the adulthoods of my grandchildren. Hence my foray into the mysterious land of Exercise. In this picture, you can see the results thus far. I’m pretty happy with them — although I’d be the first to admit a cyborg gorilla body would probably be more muscular, and would certainly have more lasers.

On a serious note, I’ve known too many computer professionals who passed away too young, because they never managed to get out of the poor-health rut computer work tends to draw people into. Please… Just a few minutes a day can mean the difference between a longer, happier life and an early grave. There’s no such thing as no time to exercise.

Cyborg gorillas are exempt from this plea, of course.

Greek god-like, yes?
