Personal Training Kansas City MO

Our nation is expanding, or should I say our nation’s 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 eat and the fact that they aren’t moving their bodies. Our bodies are not made to be sedentary, we need to keep them moving! According to the Center for Disease Controls statistics of 2005 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 problem is just getting bigger…. No put intended. There are an estimated 93 million people in the U.S. who are obese and the number is expected to increase over the next few years to reach upto 120 million people.

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

The trick is to Start moving. If you enjoy walking or exercising start with small 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 garden work, cleaning the house, taking your child out for a walk in the stroller, raking leaves, shoveling snow, washing the car. Whatever you do get moving, your life literally may 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. If we fight this battle against obesity with our whole hearts and we can win.
