I guess since I'm eating at the grownups' table now, so to speak, I should do a test post. I've been meaning to scan this in anyway; this is a manual that came with a piece of exercise equipment a friend got. I didn't catch this part on the scan, but I think it's pretty dumb that this (and apparently MOST home fitness equipment) has a disclaimer saying that it won't hold more than 250 lbs. If you weigh more than that, I guess you can forget about working out, which is probably for the best anyway if you check out the big !WARNING! on the front of the manual.




In case that's showing up too small for you to read, it says, "WARNING! Exercise can present a health risk." So there you go: a perfectly legitimate excuse to break that New Year's resolution. Grab what's left of that box of fudge and sack out on the couch with a good book.
