I work out with three pieces of equipment; the Red chair, the Mini Trampaline, and the Shake weight. I would love to have this issue to remind me of what I'm trying to acchieve...someday.

Hey ladies, have you noticed the only time Sports Illustrated pays any attention to you is when you are either in a bikini or when you are naked?

Yeah, me neither.

I love this issue, you get to see some very attractive women in some of the most painful-looking, pretzel-like poses that show a lot of skin but no goodies.
