A new exercise pill is about to make working out a whole lot easier

It might be time to quit the gym as there is a new exercise pill being developed. 

According to Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, scientists are one step closer to developing the new wonder pill. 

Researchers at the University of Sydney studied four untrained, healthy males following ten minutes if high intensity exercise and discovered that there are 1,000 molecular changes that take place in the body during a workout. 

"While scientists have long suspected that exercise causes a complicated series of changes to human muscle, this is the first time we have been able to map exactly what happens," said Dr. Nolan Hoffman, co-author of the research paper. 

"This is a major breakthrough, as it allows scientists to use this information to design a drug that mimics the true beneficial changes caused by exercise." 

The new findings prove that unlike most drugs that only target one molecule, these new tablets will target multiple molecules. 

"Our research has provided the roadmap to figure this out," said the head of the study Professor David James. 

But, it seems that those who are still physically able to exercise shouldn't throw in the towel just yet as these pills are more ideal for people who are unable to exercise traditionally like amputees or stroke victims. 

"I want to be clear that really there is no way to replace routine exercise with an exercise pill."

"Exercise requires your heart rate to go up, blood to flow faster, and you cannot do that with an exercise pill… but in particular groups, it's the next best thing."
