The dangers of working out

This person has obviously been on the eliptical machine for waaaaay too long.

I know we're all on this get thin, get healthy kick, but he's taking things a little too far.

I had to get a shot of him from another angel so I could show my readers the dangers of working out too much.

Look at him - he has no skin, he's just bones!

(I think it goes without saying that I do not have this problem. The gym and I have an on-again/off-again relationship.)

But back to our "fat-challenged" person. . . He didn't die from working out too much. I think it was from consumption or perhaps the plague. . .

The truth is that "Skelly" hangs out in a display about health and fitness at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia.

He rides is machine day in, and day out, with signs around him that warn readers about avoiding stress and taking better care of themselves.

I thought he was neat, so here he is. For more information about the Franklin Institute and its healthly programs, including the walk-through heart exhibit, go to:
