Why This Book?
Obesity demands more than diet alone—targeted exercise is proven to reshape metabolism, reduce fat mass, and improve long-term health. This evidence-based guide translates cutting-edge research into practical clinical tools, empowering providers to design effective exercise interventions for obese patients.
