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.

“Patience, to hear frivolous, impertinent, and unreasonable applications: with address enough to refuse, without offending; or, by your manner of granting, to double the obligation: dexterity enough to conceal a truth, without telling a lie: sagacity enough to read other people’s countenances: and serenity enough not to let them discover anything by yours; a seeming frankness, with a real reserve. These are the rudiments of a politician; the world must be your grammar.”
