People as a whole are more sedentary and overweight than ever before. Given the extensive research substantiating the numerous health benefits of regular exercise doesn’t change this fact that many people.
Less than a third of adults in the US get the recommended amount of exercise each day, and 40% are almost totally sedentary. The result is that obesity has almost overtaken smoking in the United States as the leading cause of preventable death.

The health benefits of regular exercise impressive. They include preventing heart disease and strokes, improving blood flow and cholesterol levels, reducing blood pressure and lowering the risk of colon, prostate, endometrial and breast cancers.
