What is exercise?

1.     150 minutes per week of physical aerobic activity that raises pulse to about 120 and makes you minimally short of breath – 40-50 minutes three times a week

2.     Lifting weights three times a week to increase muscle.

3.     These two alternate and there is one day of rest

Why do we want pills to replace exercise? Why do we want food to replace exercise?

Why do we not exercise? Do we not see the cheap benefit of exercise?
