My husband bought an exercise machine to help him shed a few pounds.
He set it up in the basement but didn't use it much, so he moved it
to the bedroom.

It gathered dust there, too, so he put it in the living room.

Weeks later I asked how it was going.

"I was right," he said. "I do get more exercise now. Every time I
close the drapes, I have to walk around the machine."
