60 pounds down - me in size 8 jeansImage by size8jeans via FlickrBeing overweight or obese is one of the most dangerous conditions one can have. Obesity affects over 40% of the entire US population and the problem is spreading to other parts of the world.

This is because we live in a society where there is little time to exercise, then we compound these by eating high calorie diets and also do little or no exercise. Obesity is termed as a condition where the body accumulates more fat than it actually needs thereby creating a health risk.

Obesity is measured in what is called BMI or the body mass index which is the amount of weight in relation to height.  A BMI of 25 or more is considered overweight. Obesity may appear like a trivial thing but it actually kills close to half a million people in the US alone. But many people have become determined that in the year 2009, they will lose the extra weight and be on their way to a leaner and healthier body. But what exercises can one undertake to burn fat.

Exercise Without Much Effort

Like most people, you probably know that there are clear, tangible benefits to be gained from taking regular exercise, but, ideally, you would like to take that exercise without effort.

Exercise enables you to burn of the excess calories and thereby either lose weight or prevent extra bulk being added to your body in the first place. It makes you a fitter person as well, and that generally means that your life style will improve - you will have more energy to enjoy everything that you do - and live longer as a result.

The problem for most of us, however, is that (we claim) we do not have the time to take regular exercise, and for many folks, the inspiration or real desire to start exercising is just not there either.

When these people undoubtedly know that exercise is good for them, why should that be? Is it, perhaps, that taking up exercise seems to be far too much like hard work, and don’t we do enough of that already?

This all hit home to me the other evening whilst I was reading an excellent new book ‘Exercise without effort’ that I recently managed to grab a copy of.

The first thing that struck me about the book was the title, which, being honest sounded a little absurd! After all, how can you ‘exercise without effort’ when effort is work?

However, after reading the book, my viewpoint has changed, and I’m pretty sure that yours would too.

By this I mean that those of us who are not exercise enthusiasts tend to view it as something that is outside our normal daily routine, whereas what the book does is highlight how exercise can (and should) be incorporated into that routine.

In other words, you do not need to go to the gymnasium or fitness club in order to get exercise. It is not necessary to go for a five mile run every morning, nor do you have to spend a small fortune on special training equipment or ‘gear’.

‘Exercise without effort’ focuses on how exercise can be incorporated into you every day routine and how easy it is to do that.

Even if you work stuck behind a desk all day, every day, that is no excuse either, because there are simple, straightforward exercises that you can do even in the office environment that will get you fitter and more healthy in just a matter of days.

Now, before you get the comical image of someone in a singlet and shots prancing around the office doing their calisthenics, trust me, it is nothing like that. In fact, no-one else need even know that you are doing your exercises every day, although I wouldn’t mind betting that, once they do and they see how much better you are looking, they’ll be clamoring to join you.

Most of the ideas for exercise in the book are low-impact too, meaning that many are just about perfect for everyone, no matter what your physical condition is, or how old you are.

All in all, ‘Exercise without effort’ is a book that I would recommend to anyone that knows that they should be exercising more, but does not want to make a huge amount of effort to do so.

Getting fitter without killing yourself whilst doing so sounds just about ideal to me, so’ Exercise without effort’ gets a big thumbs up… More Info … CLICK HERE TO ORDER
