Nothing says “I love you” like a push on to the treadmill

You know I’m a huge sucker [insert sucker joke here] for these reader debate things some magazines include in their pages. Parenting magazine totally hooked me with their mom debate. And now I’ve discovered Shape magazine has a reader debate too. Imagine how giddy I was when I saw this a few months back.

In the current edition of Shape (which is the February 2009 issue — even though it’s not even January yet), the readers debated the following question:

Would you be offended if your partner gave you a gym membership?

Surprisingly (to me at least) 92% said no. I thought for sure more women would be all “is he calling me a fat ass?” But apparently not. I suppose when you ask a question like this in a magazine about getting in shape you should expect to see a lot more yeses. I’m guessing most of Shape’s readers would love a gym membership. Unless they are like me and have a subscription because in theory I will exercise, but in real life I just read healthy magazines while sitting on the couch eating a whole can of Lay’s potato chips and downing a few cans of Squirt.

Oh wait. That’s not entirely true. I do get some exercise thanks to my Shape magazine. I almost pulled a muscle in my bicep tearing out pages of exercises I have yet to try. It’s hard work.

I think we all know what my New Year’s Resolution is.
