Forever Fit and Firm: Obesity the New Health Epidemic

I'm an ACE certified personal trainer and National Masters Over 60 Powerlifting Champion with over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. I've seen a lot of fads come and go, but three things remain constant in getting healthy and staying fit. A positive mental attitude, a healthy balanced diet, and a fitness program built on proper strength training and cardiovascular exercise. Practice these three things daily and you will discover that they lead to "The Fountain of Youth."

Obesity the New Health Epidemic

Image via Wikipedia

I just got back from a family vacation and we had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, I can't shake the shock of being at the pool and seeing so many obese people. I don't think people realize how badly that being overweight impacts their lives. First, being obese shortens your life span; you can rarely expect to live past 70 years. Secondly, if you are obese you can expect a poor quality of life; diabetes, aching joints, low energy, etc.... Thirdly, and the saddest thing about obesity is it is a lifestyle choice.
