“In the 1950s nobody would have bought a bike room and sat on it in the garage, but today people do,” said Professor John Sparkman of the University of Aberdeen, one of the directors of research.

Although experts say that only physical activity is not a permanent solution to successful weight loss , but it is good for the body in many other ways and we all should include it in our life.
