Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease)
July 31, 2008 - Fitness enthusiasts and health buffs who are interested in keeping those extra pounds off by exercising a half-an-hour a day will have to work doubly hard to keep flab away. This is the finding professor John M. Jakicic and his team at the Department of Health and Physical Activity at the University of Pittsburgh came up with.
The study – published in the July 28 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine – reports that it is necessary for overweight and obese women to exercise approximately an hour a day, for five days in a week to maintain weight loss. It also reinforces the importance of exercise and a strict diet in losing weight. The study only covered women but Jakicic thinks the same findings would apply to men.
However, some health and exercise experts are concerned that this study might discourage people from exercising; indicating that the additional half hour a day might be too much for some who may have a hard time finding time to exercise.
Good thing authors R. P. Dickey and Mary K. O'Brien came up with the book “Exercise Anytime: The Complete Don’t Take Time Out to Exercise Plan”. This Xlibris release is a general exercise book, which puts forward a revolutionary and complete plan that allows the health conscious all the exercise they need without taking any time out.
This self-published title is a must-have for people who may or may not have much time to spare for exercise – people from fitness fanatics and to the average Joe. Exercise Anytime presents 65 well-known exercises that can be executed while doing something else – at work, at home or at school. The hypothesis and practical applications of this book supersedes the concepts espoused by status quo exercise plans that states one needs to set aside time, place, companions, and have proper supervision to be able to exercise regularly.
Exercise Anytime is a book that will change the fitness and exercise habits of many, and because of the flexibility of the exercise plans and methods presented by Dickey and O'Brien, readers are presented with diverse possibilities in approaching their 60 minutes of daily required exercise time.
Exercise Anytime is available at the online bookstores of Barnes&Noble, Amazon and Xlibris.
