"Just eat less and move more" is the simplistic solution to being overweight. But for many people, the "move more" part isn't realistic. Arthritis, stroke, chronic pain, and heart conditions are just a few of the long list of ailments that make it difficult or impossible to burn more calories. Do you currently have a medical condition that makes exercise painful or difficult? Yes
