Most people know that regular physical activity offers the greatest protection against disease and aging, but it's still not enough to get people moving. People don't exercise because they believe it's too painful, boring, expensive, time consuming or just not worth the hassle. Other people feel reasonably healthy so they live by the creed 'If it ain't broke, why fix it?' These are powerful beliefs ... but they're not true! The world of fitness and exercise is just as rich in contradiction, fallacy and hyperbole as the infamous world of diets and weight loss. What does it mean to be fit? If I'm not fit what does it take to get there? Do I have to lift weights and start running? I don't have enough hours in my day already, how am I supposed to find another 30 or 60 minutes for a workout? This 29 DAYS program will answer all these questions ... often in unexpected and surprising ways. It will show you how easy it is to incorporate physical activity into your day and inspire you to healthy new habits. Whether you're an ex-athlete who wants to get back into shape, a couch potato who's never been in shape, or an elderly person who wishes to return to his or her youthful past, in just a few weeks you'll go from thinking that exercise is a bore and a chore to embracing it as one of the most enjoyable times of your day. No matter how hectic or harried your life is, in just 29 DAYS you'll be taking simple 'steps' and making modest changes to your daily routine that will lead to a lifetime of health and vitality.
