Everyone wants to lose weight, feel better, and live longer. But what if that was just the beginning? What if readers could use specific workouts to prevent, improve, or cure what ails them?
As Dr. Jordan Metzl says, “Exercise is medicine.” Now he puts that philosophy—along with cutting-edge research and a motivational bedside manner—into a groundbreaking book delivering a head-to-toe list of maladies that affect quality of life for millions. He then offers the specific exercise prescriptions that will help fix them—from type 2 diabetes to depression, from arthritic joints to PMS, from addiction to sleep apnea.
The Exercise Cure received an amazing amount of publicity in hardcover for its simple approach to weight loss and better health for everyone. The book offers an exhaustive (and exhausting) collection of fun, fat-torching, life-changing workouts that can be tailored to any fitness level.
“Doctors have long focused on the treatment of disease. Now we have a manual that highlights a means of prevention. As Dr. Metzl touts, exercise is one of the world’s most effective medicines.” —Sanjay Gupta, MD, chief medical correspondent, CNN

I purchased it through the Amazon Marketplace and received the book in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price for this book. I would definitely recommend the seller “Kali’s Quirks” to anyone considering buying this book or any others. So far, I have only tried…
Disease prevention in Western society requires daily physical activity As a physician specializing in renal disease but interested in primary prevention I could not agree more with the general thrust of this book. Would also add that other health benefits of physical activity may be important & influence some to engage in it. There are data now that physical activity may slow the decline in kidney function as we age and in those who already have impaired renal function. It may also decrease the risk of kidney stones. While no magic panacea this could have…
