OK everyone. No matter what shape you're in, or where you are on your band journey, you can join in this challenge. Walk, run, or bike to your polling place today. Cast your ballot. And here are a few ways to burn some extra calories:

1. If you have to wait in line, do a few stretches or walk in place, imagining what it would be like to live in a country where you had no voice in choosing your leaders.

2. If your voter registration is questioned, don't punch out the election official; quietly flex your arm muscles.

3. If you have to use an electronic machine and it doesn't work, take several deep breaths, then talk to the election judge, keeping your stomach tucked in: Abdominal toning and democracy in one simple move.

Don't forget -- if you don't like the results of the election, you can always make a punching bag, attach the picture of your choice (doesn't have to be a candidate; Karl Rove or Michael Moore will work just fine), and slug away, thinking of the great muscles you're developing.

The polls are open all day. Get your Nov. 2 workout!
