Thinking on a treadmill

June 17th, 2009 by Avneet

I hate doing cardio. I find it extremely boring. My trainer tried to encourage me by saying I should get some music, watch tv while running… but I just am not able to get myself to enjoy it.

I can’t last more than 3 minutes on the treadmill – every second starts to feel like a minute!

This reminded me of Russell Peter’s piece on Indians playing a sport. We are usually made out to be unfit – and I think we are. Then I saw squirrels in front running about with ease on top of a fence. It is so easy for them and for so many animals! If we had to run about looking for food and move around for shelter, we would be fit, wouldn’t we? So did years and years of comfort make us unfit?

If Indians are the most unfit, clearly, we invented civilization. :D
