What if We Knew the Cure

In his book, “The Exercise Cure” Jordan Metzl ponders:

“What if there were a drug to treat every illness, across all body systems, proven potent against heart disease, depression, arthritis, PMS and erectile dysfunction ― even in chronic diseases such as asthma, dementia, and certain types of cancer? What if it had no side effects, was completely free, readily available, and worked for everyone? Every single person who took it decreased her risk of premature death and raised his quality of life. Would you want it?”

The Center for Disease control writes:

Recent estimates indicate that only about half of United States (US) adults meet aerobic activity recommendations, and only a quarter adhere to both aerobic and muscle-strengthening guidelines.

So if we’re sure about the cure, how can we most effectively deliver it?  Let’s throw out a few ideas:

Make it convenient…

Make it safe…

Make it user friendly… 

Make it as inviting as exercise can get with catchy & motivating music…

Make it doable in street clothes, work clothes, stay at home clothes or add a dimension: no clothes!

Make it so there is progress so that I can ramp my dedication up from “trying 2 minutes” to “I’m fitter for those stairs that were a challenge before…”
