title: Exercising When You're Overweight: Getting in Shape and Shedding Pounds.
abstract: People who carry extra pounds are far from alone. A study (1) of US adults from 1988 through 1991 found 33% to be obese (defined as more than 20% overweight), 25% higher than in the years 1976 through 1980. If you are like many overweight people, you have tried dieting and exercising with varied success.
