Remember the scene from Rocky IV, where it shows Rocky and his hulking Soviet opponent Ivan Drago training simultaneously? Rocky is outside in Siberia, running through the snow, up 14,000-foot mountain peaks, and lifting logs to get ready for the big fight. Meanwhile, Drago is indoors, hooked up to all of these high-tech machines that measure punch velocity, caloric expenditure, using crack Soviet scientists to prepare him for his big fight with the Italian Stallion.

With all of the time I spent working out indoors today on various machines, I felt more like Ivan Drago than Rocky. Well, except for the steroids.

"I must break you."
