Alas, Straight On Till Morning is an aggressively mediocre album. The problem with Four was that its two great songs were islands in a sea of banality, and the new record suffers from the same inconsistency. It starts off well with a stirring workout called Carolina Blues, but the rest of the album is long on harmonica solos and short on melodies. The songs aren't bad--Canadian Rose, Felicia and Most Precarious are modestly entertaining--but they aren't exactly good either...
...repetition compulsion syndrome and the disastrous effects of grasping time and time again to garner the elusive. Just as in the real world, inside the weight room the way to break such an endless cycle of frustration is to hit the machines, increase literal repetitions and create a proper workout. Moreover, this newfound energy will provide invigorating freedom. Surely even Buttercup, with a few turns on the butterfly machine, could manage to escape any self-constructed dungeon...
...university of Harvard's size and endowment should have one of the top gyms in the nation, but instead, the MAC languishes as an artifact of the past. The sheer paucity of cardiovascular and weight-lifting equipment available makes the completion of a full workout during peak hours virtually impossible.

One watches a workout show to get fit; one watches the Spice Girls because they are fit. All five are toned, energetic and attractive, though not overwhelmingly lovely. Perhaps it's because they are just shy of gorgeous that they are so popular: they are earthly beings, approachable, and could almost exist in real life, unlike, say, Christy Turlington. The Spice Girls range in age from 21 to 25. There's Mel B., with her curly hair and pierced...
...Alcatraz to San Francisco's shore, towing a rowboat filled with 1,000 lbs. of sand. He still maintains a rugged regimen; up at 5 every morning, he works out an hour with weights before swimming for another hour. "My conscience is terrific," he says. "If I missed a workout, it would just kill me." For those wavering about their New Year's resolutions to shape up, he advises, Set small goals and change your workout program every three or four weeks. "The only way you can hurt the body is through inactivity," he says. No chance of that happening...
