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. The Runkeeper app tracks many activities walking, wheelchair, elliptical, rowing and more.

There are many apps designed to motivate and are as close as your smartphone.

Famous quotes containing the words solutions to, solutions, address, lack and/or exercise:
“Those great ideas which come to you in your sleep just before you awake in morning, those solutions to the world’s problems which, in the light of day, turn out to be duds of the puniest order, couldn’t they be put to some use, after all?”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“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)
“Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes where he goes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“[The satirist] must fully possess, at least in the world of the imagination, the quality the lack of which he is deriding in others.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
