There is no political solution here. It doesn’t matter who is in the white house or who is fighting for us in congress. It all rests on our shoulders and our willingness to live up to the burdens of a free people. We are more dangerous to our way of life than any terrorist from a foreign land ever could be. Health care is already unaffordable for most people. If we don’t reverse the trend of obesity then it won’t be a terrorist attack that collapses our economy and way of life, it will be our bad habits and daily bad decision making compounded over time; specifically over the next ten years. This one epidemic alone is enough to spill over into every area and in more devastating ways than the housing market collapse spilled over into other areas. Obesity is where the money is because not only is it vital to our health but it’s also “vital to the solvency of our health care system.”
There is hope in a great opportunity here to show the rest of the world that we have not become a nation of fat self destructive losers. We are the richest nation in the civilized world but yet we are the most disease riddled. How can that be? We are fat and getting fatter. Obesity is linked to more illness and disease than any other single symptom; so much so that obesity is becoming more recognized as a disease in itself rather than just a symptom. That’s indeed what makes Obesity in and of itself not only vital to our health but “vital to the solvency of our health care system” as well as our economy and way of life. When so many people have so many preventable problems that costs an entire nation of people record setting debts then it becomes all of our problem and the cries of “It’s none of your business how I live my unhealthy life” looses all credibility in the context of being "none of our business". It’s profoundly affecting all of us today and stands to get profoundly worse in a decade.
This whole crises/epidemic presents an enormous opportunity here for all of us to cease. The adage “Time will either promote you or expose you” has never been more relevant. If we continue on our current trends time will expose us in devastating ways we may not want to even consider. The “even keel” philosophy is already being exposed for what it is, a big facade, and time is doing all of the exposure. There is no even keel in life; sadly most people strive to keep everything at an even keel. Every one of us is always going to be on a curve in life no matter what, even if you don't recognize it. That curve is either going to work for us or against us by our actions and daily decision making in compounding affect over time. Time is always going to either promote us or expose us. Use time to promote you, not expose you. Do you want to win or do you want to loose? Do you want our country to be promoted or exposed?
For decades, starting about when office jobs of physical inactivity became the norm, we’ve been tinkering around and experimenting with ways to make up for the lack of physical activity that our modernized lives have evolved into and with backward results to show for. The more we experiment with diets and aerobic exercise that don’t work the fatter we get and more likely to quit we become. Lets stop experiment and do something that works, and works for a life time. Yo yo diets with yo yo weight loss must become a thing of the past. Miracle pills and potions without a comprehensive and realistic approach to getting healthy is an industry that all together needs to be put out of business by driving down demand to absolutely zero. Aerobic exercise with no strength training must stop unless you like aging achy joints and weight gain just from smelling the wrong foods. Enough!
I believe Team Beachbody is it. Team Beachbody is the ONLY fitness company in the country that has a time proven, comprehensive approach to a real life style change and getting healthy. Exercise is never enough, nutrition is never enough, supplements is never enough, peer support is never enough, reading how to books and watching how to videos is never enough. You need all of those things intertwined in a way that compliments all of those variables to work together to bring about real change. Team Beachbody is the only company, period, in the nation that thought through all of those details so that you don’t have to. Believe me you don’t need another experiment to try, to see if this experiment is going to be the one that makes a difference, believe me it will be just like all the rest. If you want to get healthy you need to be realistic and do something that has already proven to work. Probably most of all, for most of us myself included, you need a success buddy who has goals and a passion that is worthy of your goals and passion. That way you both push each other to succeed and you can’t fail. Eventually your healthy life style will become so ingrained in your brain it will become second nature. Habit is like a cable, we weave a thread of it each day until at last it cannot be broken.
If you’ve already got something that is working for you and you are committed to it for life then run with that and keep at it! If you’re still looking for something that works, quit experimenting and lets do this the right way so you don’t have to go through the frustrations of more stuff out there that just does not work for you. Take a look at my Team Beachbody store: http://PassionFitness.info Everything here has been proven to work for thousands and thousands of people with huge success stories of their own. Having trouble picking out a program? Do you have questions about anything? Call or write me. I want to personally help you decide, commit, and succeed.
Do you want to take a more pro active role in reversing the trend of Obesity? I will always need more people to help me spread the word of Feeling good and using these time proven products to get people their. If you would like to help me please by all means Sign Up With Me to be a Team Beachbody Coach. This will not only give you a HUGE layer of extra motivation to get yourself in great shape but you can make very good money doing so in combination with helping others get in great shape.
I sincerely hope my writing will motivate more of you to leave experimenting in the past where it should be, be more pro active in your lives, and experience a life time of feeling really good in a national economy that thrives instead of sinks.
Lets Kick Obesity Square in the Butt for good!
