Exercise does wonders for our physical and mental health. That doesn't mean you need to join a gym if it's not something you are comfortable with. Just keep moving!

Americans started putting on the pounds right about the time the TV clicker was invented, and that's no coincidence! The Amish folks can eat nearly twice the calories you do (up to 5000 calories a day!) and they stay slim and healthy. Why? Because they spend their days MOVING, and they don't have clickers (or TVs).

Want to lose weight? Get off your butt! Take the batteries out of the remote. Move around the house. Start parking out on the fringes of the lot (where all the empty spaces are, anyway). Amazing as it may seem those three things alone are enough to double the exercise of a typical overweight American, and doubling your movement will do wonders for your health.
