Lack of Exercise is More Deadly then Obesity (article)

The title really says it all here folks.

A study of 334,000 men and women, a huge sample size, showed that twice as many deaths were contributed to physical inactivity then obesity.

The study concluded tat to be classed as active, you simply need some form of activity that will burn about 100 calories - the equivalent of a brisk 20min walk.

The results now show that public health campaigns which have traditionally focused on reducing obesity should now look at promoting a modest amount of exercise.

Remember Norm from above?

Well as it turns out we were on the right track in the first place!

In addition to preserving physical integrity, exercise also keeps your mind sharp and has been found to be one of the best ways to preserve your brain as you get older.

You're only as old as you feel!

OK too many puns but the idea is to find something that works for you right now.

If that's walking then walk.

If that's competitive sport, then join a club.

The specifics of the activity are irrelevant, it's the activity that matters the most.

If training under guidance is your thing then let me know if I can help.
