DOCTOR SAYS NEW HONDA FITBIT TOO STRENUOUS FOR SOME

"Get more exercise!"  It's a goal that occupies the top slot on many New Year's resolution lists. But one doctor warns that a popular new fitness device can actually lead to dangerous overexertion.  

The 2,650- pound Honda Fitbit, which is lugged along by a harness-equipped user, was a popular Christmas gift last month.  But Dr. Branislav Pittleman warns it's not for everyone.  "Unless someone is adept at, say, pulling an Airbus with his teeth, I really can't recommend it," said Pittleman, who said he's seen Honda Fitbit-using patients with injuries ranging from third-degree harness welts to wheezing lung grunts, both of which can lead to lethal clamminess.

The Honda Fitbit's manufacturer countered that the device's instruction manual, which can be found at http//www.hondafitbit/models/users/support/manuals/automatics/somemoreslashes, 
advises users to start slow and ensure the transmission is shifted into neutral.
