Find the Dropped Pill: Real Exercise for Real Life, contributed by DuctapeFatwa

Stand or sit in a comfortable position. Now drop a pill. If you are taking enough pills on a regular basis, you have probably already performed this first easy step.

Now find the pill. To do this you must bend, and examine the floor near where the pill was dropped.

Perform knee bends trying to peer under furniture in the vicinity of the pill dropping.

Resign yourself to lying on the floor in an old fashioned push up position in order to more closely examine the area under low lying furnishings.

Raise yourself from the floor any way you can.

Now walk around the room, head down, looking for the pill.

Lift cushions, bedclothes, books, papers, anything that could conceivably be hiding the pill, or could not conceivably be hiding it, but you like to be thorough.

Walk again, to look for the bottle to get a replacement pill. Do not look into the refrigerator first, in order to maximize this part of the exercise. Check the medicine chest. Remove all contents. Use this opportunity to practice tossing expired medicines into the trash, to keep arms and shoulders supple.

Look on your dresser and bedside table. Look under them in case you also dropped the bottle.

When you begin to feel tired, go to the refrigerator and remove the bottle of pills and take one to replace the one you dropped.

As a warm-down, notify family members that there is a dropped pill. Warn small descendants and eccentric relatives not to eat it.

Recline on one side, weight on arm, head on hand, elbow bent. Point the toe of the uppermost leg, and pretend to be a ballerina, raising it up into the air until the toe points to the ceiling, keeping the knee very straight and unbent. Now lower the leg.
