Most Exercises Are Completely Self-Defeating And You Should Avoid Them At All Costs
The average human body reaches complete maturity at about 25 years, and afterwards it is all downhill for every muscle and organ we have. This means that the athlete wishing to maintain fitness has to exercise a little more each day, or watch performance levels drop rapidly.
If you are not a performing athlete earning a living at a sport that requires extreme fitness, speed, and strength, you must be extremely cautious about most forms of exercise, because the chances are that you can do more harm than good.
In any event, all muscle building exercise after maturity for all adults can only have one result; you have to continue the exercises every day of your life, or the

Never Exercise to Excess
Today numerous fitness programs and workout regimes encourage people to fling their body about the room in time to the rapid beat of popular music; stepping up and down a wooden block, doing an amazing array of callisthenics, or running purposelessly for tremendously long distances.
Extremely fit and athletic appearing people in tight-fitting clothing always demonstrate the videos and sales literature for these body-busting routines. If you are over 25-years old, your body is carrying more weight than you want, and you have a shelf full of health books, diets, and exercise videos, I recommend that you throw them all away right now. Joining a fitness club
...can lead to muscular imbalances which can limit the body's ability to perform at peak level and dramatically increase chance of both over-use injury and chronic pain. To get a clearer idea of how these imbalances can occur we'll take ...
You can speak to any doctor worldwide, and they will all give you the same advice, “Exercise in moderation…” and nobody ever listens. They do not want to lose a few ounces each month, they want to lose pounds every week, and so they exercise like a maniac fleeing the demons from hell.
The Main Purpose of Exercise

You probably will lose some weight, depending upon the regularity, severity, and length of the exercise sessions, but to what purpose, because the weight will return.
If your medical or health professional advised you to take some moderate exercise, the main purpose would be to increase the flow of your blood. This aerobic exercise, gentle exercise over a long period, depletes the oxygen levels in your cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and all working muscles.
Do not worry; the oxygen is quickly replenished once you rest!
The relationship between regular aerobic exercise (walking and swimming) and cardiovascular health and longevity is well established, and this exercise they advise; certainly not the whirling dervish

Some Extra Weight is good!
The human race is some 6 million years old, civilisation is about 5 thousand years old, and the modern way of life is only a couple of hundred years old. This means that for the vast majority of its existence and development, the human race and each individual has been self-sufficient.
The natural thing for all living creatures is to eat well in harvest times and put on a little weight; this is later consumed during the winter months when food is less abundant. Similarly, pre-civilisation, when a person is young they could forage for food quite easily, but as they aged this became harder each year.
...may never have heard of NO, scientific research around the world has demonstrated that NO may influence the functioning of your lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, and heart. Our vascular system uses NO to control blood flow to every part of ...
Unfortunately, nature is not aware of the supermarkets with their year-round profusion of appetising foods, which the older person consumes in large quantity, and so modern adults tend to carry more weight than nature designed.
When you try to slim down to the ridiculous sizes suggested by the models in the glossy magazines and on the exercise videos, you are going against nature and that is a battle you can never win. So why start? Think of all the octogenarians you know, because the vast majority of them are happy, rotund people without a care in the world.
There is only One Solution

The solution to your current weight and health problems is really quite simple, but nonetheless, extremely powerful and completely safe. Countless people have also proved it over time and when you read the next sentence, you will start to lose weight by the minute and you will soon become healthier.
Your weight is a condition of your mind and not your body.

If you accept that your weight is a condition of your mind, you must now start to train your mind to improve it. Many books have been written on the subject, and it is generally accepted that as humans we are what we think about. The first thing you have to do is to start thinking about the weight you want for your body. This must not be a ridiculous figure, but more one that you believe possible.

You may think this is hard to accomplish, but I have a friend who is so successful at this mind conditioning and telling himself that he is not hungry, that he has not been able to eat a full meal for 50 years, and his weight has been 43 - 45 kilo for decades, without an ounce of fat. Naturally, it is very easy for him to continue with the habit today, because his stomach has now shrunk to the size of a walnut!
The fourth and last thing you have to do is write the

1. Your weight gradually approaching your ideal
2. Your meals changing to the white meat, fruit, and vegetables you like best
3. Your portions reducing as your age increases
