Mighty Mouse Without Exercise?

Gizmag has a great article on a new pill that’s being developed to mimic the effects of exercise. SR9009 has been tested on mice and it’s result was a Mighty Mouse. The mice that have been administered the drug lost fat, gained lean muscle and performed much better at various exercises.

Wouldn’t be great to just take a pill and tap your limit of fitness? I mean, shi’t, I love the results I get in the gym, but the exercise is torture. If there’s a pill that can max out my potential without any side effects, I’m sold for life. Not only do I think this will save many people a lot of time, but it’ll take all the guess work out of being fit. People don’t have to go to the gym and figure out what’s going to be the most effective routine for them.

How do you guys feel about a pill that mimics the effects of exercise? Does playing video games while building muscle sound intriguing to you? Or do you feel like taking away the hard work makes the results less rewarding?
