A New "Exercise Pill" Could Completely Replace the Fitness Industry

A new study shows that "exercise pills" may be the future. Rats were given pills that boosted endurance, increased metabolism, and burned fat all without actual exercise. The author of this study explains, "...you can improve endurance to the equivalent level as someone in training, without all of the physical effort.”

With people working longer and longer hours, many just do not have the time to work out. Reaching the level of consistent recommended exercise is just not a reality for many at this point. Receiving the benefits one gets from exercising in the time it take to swallow a tablet may be the new answer.

Of course, we do not know that this could ever be a reality as scientists are just in the very beginning stages of the drug. But, if an exercise tablet became a viable option, would you use it? We take vitamins to substitute absent nutrients in our diets. Could we do the same for the absence of exercise?
