Many of us know of or have indulged in comfort-eating as a temporary escape from pressure at work, personal life challenges and concerns over our body shape. Each year millions yo-yo their way through the year unable to maintain their weight while others suffer weight complications through health conditions.Slender figures and toned bodies are often envied, but not everyone can have the "perfect" shape. What is important is to look and feel your personal best in order to avoid the effects of overweight, such as shortness of breath and high blood pressure, which can lead to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. ActionExercise is one of the fundamental ways to reverse the trend of increasing weight and, if you lose one pound of weight a week, you are more likely to keep the weight off long term. However, it's not easy to gather the drive and confidence to pull the trainers on and walk into the gym. That's why, if you're starting to exercise after a long break, we recommend walking.
