Fitness Woman. Do you need a reason to get fit?

Oh what a shift! Death and disease from tobacco is being

replaced with obesity related diseases. This according to

recent study of trends. Heart disease has become the number

one killer of women. Obesity from inactivity and very poor

eating habits are killing not only women but men also. More

children and teenagers are becoming overweight and diabetic.

In this article we will concentrate on women and obesity.

First, lets look at the nutrition part of the growing

dilemma. Fat from deep fried foods, bad cuts of meat and

fats added in cooking compounded with sugar laded foods are

the biggest culprit of the expanding waist. Start replacing

that donut with an orange or apple. Eat chicken breast meat

instead that fat laden bratwurst. Replace the potato chips

with lite popcorn for a salty snack. There are web sites

that you can check out that will help you in this area.

Don’t be taken in by some magic pill or potion to help you

lose the fat. Cleaning up your eating habits is the best

way. Generally the less processing the food went through

the better it is for you. Example would be, an apple alone

is better for you than apiece of apple pie.

Let’s get active!

Now let us touch on the lack of exercise and obesity. Do

you have to train for a triathlon to get into shape? No.

But you do have to increase your activity part of your

lifestyle. Simple steps like getting off the couch while

watching TV and taking a walk. Parking in the back part of

the parking lot at work to increase walking distance. You

don’t really need fancy equipment just to lose a few pounds.

Just determination. Or maybe you would like to start

Fitness Walking. An excellent low cost workout. You are

saying to yourself “what is the difference between walking

and Fitness Walking?" With Fitness Walking you pace

yourself fast enough to elevate your heart rate. When you

reach your targeted heart rate, you are at optimum fat

burning. Basically you need a higher quality walking shoe

and a program to follow. Or maybe join a yoga or Pilates

class. What ever you think you would like to do and stay at

it.

The fact of the matter!

Women may reduce breast cancer 25% to 35% with reasonable

exercise. Again you don’t have to train for a triathlon to

receive the benefits. Drop the extra weight by watching

your diet and becoming more active in your lifestyle.

Jeopardizing your health is the last thing Nature Boy wants.

Please check with your doctor before starting a fitness

program. We want to make this a healthy start to a better

lifestyle.
