Solutions To Address The Lack of Exercise
Many measures have been attempted to address low levels of physical activity. Some of these include: Walking bus, Riding school bus, Mall walking, and Girls on the Run.
Going to a gym is another measure that can be taken. However, according to Michael Mosley and doctor James Levine, it is not needed to go to a gym to increase one's physical activity level. Rather, a better solution is to just take on a more active lifestyle (NEAT), and perhaps include a small amount of rigorous exercise (about 3 minutes per week). The latter technique is called HIT
Technology is an excellent solution to promote physical activity. There are numerous apps available for use on smartphones that help you track your activities. Apps such as Runkeeper lets you set goals for distance, time, weight loss if that is your goal etc. and is not limited to running alone.

Famous quotes containing the words solutions, address, lack and/or exercise:
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“In the mythus a superhuman intelligence uses the unconscious thoughts and dreams of men as its hieroglyphics to address men unborn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There are ... intangible realities which float near us, formless and without words; realities which no one has thought out, and which are excluded for lack of interpreters.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
