The ultimate cure for obesity is exercise! Exercise increases muscle, tones it, alters the body chemistry and increases its metabolic rate. It makes you a better butter burner. The most efficient exercise for this purpose is called aerobics (Dr. Ken Cooper). Briefly, aerobic exercise means steady exercise: exercise that demands an uninterupted output from your muscles over a minimum 12 minute period. It has been shown in many exercise physiology laboratories that a steady continous exercise repeated every day reverses more quickly the syndrome of muscles turning to fat than any other kind.
The main criterion for aerobic exercise is that it be continuous and steady. Stop and go exercises just don't do the same thing. Here is a list of endurance exercises (Aerobic) and stop and go exercises (Non-aerobic).
