Can you use scientifically valid fitness shortcuts, weight loss and management stress that apply to our unique existence Jakartan? Probably because many of us are stuck - for many reasons - do little or nothing to our well-being. We often drape - and even ennoble - this inaction to the litany of having "no time" (with an average reported speed of 5 km / h on our streets, we even data to support us, do not we?). Of course, this assumes that our time is devoted mainly to activities such as dignified and productive our work and family and community obligations. If you are among the many who have become Jakartans to do nothing comfortable to improve your fitness, nutrition and the standard of stress load, be warned :. Reading this short article can be disruptive
If you got so far, congratulations; we can now move to the first question. a short fitness program can produce significant benefits? Yes absolutely. There is considerable evidence from reliable sources that you can meet and exceed the recommended levels of exercise cardiovascular health for about 30 minutes a week (do more is a likely option to produce even more benefits - up to a point ). The article, "Two experiences in the exercise Minimalism" (www.precisionnutrition.com) details how 8 minutes of exercise a day, four times a week has allowed a woman to lose 20 pounds in four months while eating a single balanced diet. The case study provides all the details you need to start tomorrow (or better yet, the day after your doctor says it is OK).
Exercise is a method scientifically proven to reduce stress.

What's the catch? OK, the bad news is that even 32 minutes per week described in the case study, you will move until you huff and puff; but really good news is that the minutes of stress reduction can be done in the back seat of your car, allowing you to magically convert a liability (our Macet shared misery) in an asset.
The greatest obstacle to achieving the benefits of this health improvement strategy with short elegance but scientifically solid is in one of Newton's laws of motion. It is really annoying that one about how "a body at rest tends to stay at rest", unless an unbalanced force acts on it. Where does this "power" come? It might be that Article; it could be get a physical late or a gasp and beating his chest after you walk up a few flights of stairs. It could come from a good friend (or just a mirror) reflecting that you just "do not look so great. It might take a quick self-test your fitness. You could try fitness in online self-assessment of the National Health Service ": http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Fitness.aspx
The really good news, though, once you decide to start, just another law of Newton: "a body in motion tends to stay in motion ..."
