As a society we�re out of shape and overweight. The Center for Disease Control reports that obesity results in 300,000 preventable deaths each year in the United States alone. More than sixty per cent of all Americans are classified as overweight or obese, while at any given time thirty to forty per cent of us are trying to go from fat to fit.

Foot and Fork Disease
Doctors have come up with a new label for this all-too-common problem of the �under-active foot� combined with the �over-active fork�, or simply, foot and fork disease.
So how can you break this trend, and go about increasing your activity level to match your caloric intake without having to exercise hours a day and eating like a bird? Let�s take a closer look at some practical options you might consider.
10 Pain Free Ways to Lose Weight
WALK, DON�T DRIVE
Instead of driving everywhere you go, consider walking or even bicycle riding to work, the local stores, or wherever you can. This is a built-in calorie burner that everybody has access to every day!
LEARN TO PLAY
Play racquetball, join a softball team or a hiking club, or even learn to play golf. Burning calories while you have fun is totally painless.
FIRE THE GARDNER
The work involved in maintaining a healthy lawn, not to mention a flourishing garden, will have you burning about 400 calories an hour.
TAKE THE KIDS TO THE PARK
This is another example of playing to burn calories. Running around in the park all afternoon with your 12-year-old will make it clear to you why kids can eat and eat and not gain an ounce.
WAX ON, WAX OFF
Spend the afternoon washing and waxing the car. You�ll save ten or fifteen dollars, and burn somewhere around three or four hundred calories an hour.
TAKE THE HIGH ROAD
Pass on the elevator and escalator rides. Stair climbing is excellent form of aerobic exercise, and it also builds strong, toned legs.
TOSS THE TV
The time you spend planted in front of the TV does not reward you with many calories burned. At least get up and move around during the commercials.
SKIP THE VALET PARKING
On your next trip to the local mall or supermarket, don�t circle the parking lot looking for the closest spot you can find. In contrast, park as far from the store entrance as possible and walk, you�ll be glad you did.
VOLUNTEER YOUR SERVICES
Once a week, for an afternoon or evening, volunteer your services at your local hospital or good will organization. This will not only benefit the physical body, but will give you a spiritual and psychological boost as well.
EXERCISE
Okay, you knew I couldn't possibly leave this one out. Workout for 30 minutes a day, three to five times a week. The benefits are endless, and too long to list here, but exercise is considered the closest thing we've come to the fountain of youth and still the best way to lose weight and get in shape.
