And so there was this joke jeering about people who indulge in watching sports events, say World Cup or the Olympics. They spend more time playing the role of a couch potato than playing the sports itself. Simply relying on their eyes glued to the sportsmen sweating their guts out on TV don't lose their weight! ( as much as they inertly wished for, or so do i? hmhm *fat hope*) - Fact number 1
And there are those who hit the gyms rather frequently, yet not much difference in physique was noted. Why? A deeper insight into the gym shows that these people spend more time 1) watching the TV 2) talking to friends 3) looking at guys or gals 4) acting pretty. Having such a diverted agenda rather than pumping the irons, again, don't lose their weight nor make them a hunk. - Fact number 2
And yet, there are some horizontally inclinated middle age aunties, who bring along their kids ( also a replicate of their parental genes ) to those neighbourhood parks thinking that gearing up in jogging attire and sitting down on those sit up benches chit chatting will restore their former ( largely assumed ) curvey figure. The kids did a great job in balancing on the bars meant for locking the ankle while doing sit ups and I can tell they are having a jolly good time. But, hello, knock knock, there are plenty of benches meant for little gatherings like this and you don't have to hog on those exercise areas. Having wrapped up in jogging pants and shoes don't lose their weight. You jog in them. - Fact number 3
All in all, looking at others sweat may perhaps cause your arenaline to rise but that's about it, full stop.
