In America the rising number of overweight and obese make it appear we are actually working to get fat.
Not long ago I generally made the statement that we were 60% overweight or obese and that it was roughly 30% to each of those categories. Current reports put that percentage closer to 70% (67.something), with the larger portion going to “obese”.
The following video was pointed out to me by Dave Soucy. It is a bit long, but full of great information for the fitness professional and may be something you want to share with your clients/students.
This is not an excuse for many of our selections of food and certainly not for the portions we consume. It is also not an excuse for the lack of exercise most choose not to participate in…
… But it is a bit of an eye opener in how it’s not made easy on us either. As a matter of fact, it’s pretty easy to get fat.
