I was right!

See the entry two posts down from this one regarding working out with hot girls around. Now this little blurb from my January/February 2009 issue of Men's Health Magazine:

"It starts with boys showing off on the playground, and the performance never ends: When a woman is around, men work out harder. In a new German study, men pushed themselves 12 percent harder and complained less about pain during a bicycle stress test when a female doctor supervised than when a man did. Study author Christian Jung, M.D., says the results could translate to your gym: "Working out with a woman may help you push harder, probably because men are evolutionarily programmed to impress women," he says. Choose your treadmill wisely."

Validation is a wonderful feeling, isn't it? :)

As if we didn't already know that women make everything better...;)

Maybe you should cancel your Men's Health subscription and just start writing for them.

That's a great idea. That will be plan C if this law school thing doesn't work out. (Plan B is massage therapy)
