Are you a mouse potato?

Are you turning into a mouse potato? If you are not getting sufficient exercise because you are constantly on a computer, you probably are. A mouse potato is the cousin of the couch potato, a person who never leaves the confines of the couch – watching the television day in and day out. Mouse potatoes are kids and adults that spend too much time in front of the computer.
