Personal Trainer and Fitness Model Diana Chaloux

Our nations waistlines are expanding. It’s a sad story. The figures are staggering, the death toll of Americans who are dying of preventable obesity related illnesses and is close to 400,000 a year. 400,000 people a year are dying because of the foods they choose to Consume and the fact that they aren’t moving their bodies. Our bodies are not designed to be sedentary, we need to keep them moving! According to recent statistics for 2005 from the Center for Disease Control 25.4 % of U.S. adults 20 years and up were obese. Not just overweight but obese. This number is a significant increase from the 1997 figures which showed the obesity level of the American people to be at 19.4%. And the issues of obesity are getting bigger…. No pun intended here. There’s an estimated 93 million folks in the U.S. who are obese and this number is expected to rise over the next few years to reach a possible 120 million people.

Many people like to use genetics as the ultimate excuse for overweight and obesity.

The trick is to Get moving. If you enjoy walking or exercising start with light short workout sessions of around ten minutes and increase from there. You can even think of starting to get more activity in your day by doing things like gardening, cleaning around the house, taking the kids out for a walk, yard work, washing the car. Whatever you do the trick is to get moving, your length of life may just depend on it! Whatever you do, do it with your whole heart, if llooking for equipment an elliptical machine is a great idea for people new to exercise and the pros. Let’s fight this battle against obesity with our whole hearts and we can prevail.
