The Week contest: Angry exercise
This week's question: A nationwide fitness chain has banned cable news from the TV sets in its gym, saying today's toxic political environment is bad for people's health. If a fitness instructor were to devise a workout routine in which incensed gym goers burn calories while raging at cable news, what catchy name could it give the new fitness regime?
