I heard of just the opposite situation. Doctor asked if the patient worked out. Patient said no. Doctor raised eyebrows and said that she must do something for exercise. Patient still said no. Doctor eyed patient's build, noted well-defined muscles, flipped back through the chart for bp & pulse, then asked the stay-at-home-mom to describe a typical day. Hauling hay bales to feed animals, training horses, going on trail rides... Didn't have time to "exercise."
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Yes, somehow.
I'm in extremely good shape. I watch professional sports.

If I had to watch reality shows I bet I would burn off SOME calories screaming and hurling heavy objects at the TV.
You never know, maybe Miss Tuber only watches reality shows on TV while riding on an exercise bike.
"Seeing Bruce Jenner on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' really puts that whole 'physical fitness' business into perspective."
"'iCarly' IS a reality show, right?"

Maybe she is getting ideas from Snookie.
12 ounce bicep curls, followed by triceps lifts off the couch. Sounds like a workout to me.
