NOTE FROM FRAN:

A recent study has found that about 10% of people are
genetically unable to benefit from exercise — even when they
went on a well-monitored exercise program over 20 weeks,
they showed no measurable gains in oxygen uptake and other
measures of fitness.
So a few of us can relax on the couch, secure in the
knowledge that exercise won’t do us any good.
But for the rest of us…

The Top 6 Other
Reasons Exercise Won’t Help Me

6> My lips say yes, but my chins say no.

5> All that heavy breathing puts wear and tear on the lungs.

4> Exercise=pain. Pain=distress. Distress=search for comfort. Search for comfort=food. Any questions?

3> Working too hard on my abs could cause a six-pack to grow into a pony keg.

2> Nobody has created execises for slow-twitch fat.

and the Number 1 Other Reason Exercise Won’t Help Me…

1> My internal Cell Mother is an overbearing, possessive Type-A who refuses to part with any of her fat-cell babies under any circumstances.
