A pill to replace exercise

I know that there is an obesity crisis and things need to be done but this makes me sad, as if exercise is a thing to be avoided.

This news came out the same day as my car broke down.  I had to cancel a class and then arrange a lift to my evening classes - I was particularly stressed by the time I got to the church ready to teach!!   But a healthy dose of exercise later I felt much better.

Benefits of exercise

From those three classes I:

• reduced stress,
• got stronger,
• worked my cardiovascular system,
• burned calories,
• increased my metabolic rate,
• downtrained my sympathetic nervous system,
• connected with other women,
• felt happy,
• mobilised my joints,
• kept my bones healthy and
• stimulated my brain.

Amongst other things. Will a pill do all that?
