Headline of the Day: Drugs Offer Promise of Fitness Without Effort

August 2, 2008 3:25 AM | No Comments

Via The New York Times:

Researchers at the Salk Institute report they have found two drugs that do wonders for the athletic endurance of couch potato mice. One drug, known as Aicar, increased the mice's endurance on a treadmill by 44 percent after just four weeks of treatment. [...] The results, Dr. Evans said, seem reasonably likely to apply to people, who control muscle tone with the same underlying genes as do mice.

How more friggin lazy do we really want to be? Unbelievable!
