Too shy, too broke, too busy, too lazy to hit the gym these days? With FitTV, a cable station that offers 20 hours of fitness and health programing every day, another excuse for not exercising doesn’t work. But you'll still have to get up off that couch.

"FitTV is currently the only network for fitness and keeping exercise and fitness programing fresh and accessible to everyone," Carole Tomko, president and general manager of FitTV, said in an interview.

Part of Discovery Communications Inc., the station offers the workout choices, ranging from Pilates and aerobics(有氧运动)to body sculpting, yoga, belly dancing and hip hop.

"I wanted FitTV to be a clear and inviting alternative to 'hitting the gym,'" Tomko said from her headquarters in Silver Springs, Maryland.

There are exotic locations. You may be in your living room, but decathlon champion Gilad Janklowicz, an aerobics instructor, is helping you develop you from the golden sands of Hawaii's Waikiki Beach.

In the "Namaste" yoga classes, bendy young women in sports bras and shorts execute their poses(摆姿势)as the scene behind them shifts from park to beach to sun-flooded studio.

FitTV also delivers lifestyle programing on nutrition and weight loss, and a video-on-demand service allows viewers to call up favorite shows at will.

Dr. Kenneth McCulloch, an associate professor of orthopedic surgery of New York University School of Medicine, said that in general, the concept is a great idea.

"It seems that they recognize that diet and exercise go hand in hand," McCulloch said. "The other major benefit is accessibility."

FitTV targets adults ages 25-54 and is available in 47 million homes nationwide, according to Tomko, who says the subscriber base has increased steadily since 2003.

"Mom, I have to go get help," Maddie cried.

McRae realized it was their only hope. If she tried to go herself, she knew, Maddie wouldn't be able to hold on to the two toddlers(学步婴儿), and all three children might drown. But Maddie was still recovering from foot surgery and had been out of a cast for only a week. How was she going to manage? They were stranded in the middle of the swelling torrent (激流) in complete darkness, more than 25 feet from the creek bank.

McRae looked at her small, determined daughter. "I'm thinking, this is the last chance I may get to talk to her. What do I need to tell her?" she recalls. "I love you!" she shouted over the roaring water. "I'm proud of you. Be careful!"

"I know I can do it," Maddie replied. The 95-pound sixth grader grabbed a thin, weak branch hanging over the SUV and began to climb across the creek. Reaching the bank, she jumped into "a whole bunch of prickly (多刺的) bushes," then took off running. "I was in my power," she recalls.

With the cold water now swelling up to her chest and her arms growing numb around the two toddlers, McRae could see her daughter's figure as she moved quickly up the hill toward the nearest neighbor's back pasture(牧场). Suddenly she heard Maddie scream.

"I ran into an electric fence," Maddie recalls. "It really hurt." Barefoot and soaking wet, she tried to climb it four or five times, thrown back each time by a shock meant to contain horses. Finally she found a cold spot near the gate and got over. McRae saw a porch light go on at the top of the hill.
