A person's health will benefit from any amount of purposeful regular activity. Metzl spends 165 pages of 298 explaining how exercise can help treat various diseases from depression to menopause, to cancer and more.

Although the book is packed with practical advice, it is not a replacement for a doctor visit. The disclaimers at the beginning of the book make that abundantly clear.
All in all, this book is really inspirational and informative. Even if you are a couch potato, there are plenty of reasons to stand at commercial breaks or just be more active.… (meer)
