While I try to blog on a wide variety of medical issues, I am consistently attracted to fitness and diet articles. Hopefully, I will help at least one person's motivation. If so - this article is for you - Fitting fitness back in your life

But you have plenty of company. You've joined the 4-in-10 adult Americans of all ages who admit they are not physically active at all, according to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

Exercise experts like Richard Cotton and Cedric Bryant have heard it all before — busy boomers complaining that, between carpools and van pools and making ends meet, they barely have time for a movie, much less a regular exercise routine.

Cotton is an exercise physiologist and also a spokesman for the American Council on Exercise in San Diego, Calif., an organization that certifies instructors and oversees exercise research. Bryant is the chief exercise physiologist for the council.

They both specialize in motivating inactive people to become involved in exercise programs.
