If you fancy a stroll in the park watch out for Telegraph readers in tracksuits.
This must be one of the daftest pieces of advice I have seen on how to lose weight by exercise. To make exercise interesting the "Life Coach" in the Daily Telegraph today suggests losing your beer belly by going to a park and after warming up, sprint as far as the first person you see entering the park . . . I think if a fat sweaty bloke came sprinting towards me in a park I would be shifting into fight or flight mode pretty quickly. The only logical sequence of events to fit the goal of losing weight by this method is that sooner or later you are going to be arrested and put in a holding cell with only bread and water, that would certainly have a slimming effect.
