The Elusive Workout pill
Couch potatoes rejoice! Scientists are working on a pill that will simulate exercise without ever having to get off the divan. For now they are injecting mice who were more physically lazy and inactive than they had been before the injections. They were getting a workout minus the effort. Those animals proved to be anti-athletes just like some of us humans. A medical professional opined that the "drug seems to act as an exercise mimic." But don't throw away your gym shoes yet.
