A pill to replace exercise

So we're a step closer to a pill that can replace exercise.
I know that there is an obesity crisis and things need to be done but this makes me sad, as if exercise is a thing to be avoided.

This news came out the same day as my car broke down.  I had to cancel a class and then arrange a lift to my evening classes - I was particularly stressed by the time I got to the church ready to teach!!   But a healthy dose of exercise later I felt much better.

Benefits of exercise

From those three classes I:
  • reduced stress,
  • got stronger,
  • worked my cardiovascular system,
  • burned calories,
  • increased my metabolic rate,
  • downtrained my sympathetic nervous system,
  • connected with other women,
  • felt happy,
  • mobilised my joints,
  • kept my bones healthy and
  • stimulated my brain.
Amongst other things. Will a pill do all that?
