Here are some numbers as to why we exercise:
- 1 in 3 American Adults are at risk for developing High Blood Pressure ( www.cdc.gov/mmwt/preview/mmwhtml/mm6135a3.htm )
- 40 % of Americans are now considered Obese ( National Health and Nutrition Exam Survey Data Brief No. 288 Oct 2017 )
- 40% of empty calories that children eat on a daily/weekly basis ( www.statisticbrain.com )
- 1 in 10 Adults who don't get enough fruits and vegetables on a daily basis ( www.cdc.gov )
- 43.8 million Americans who experiences a mental stress each year ( www.nami.org )
- The American Journal of Psychiatry indicates that 1 hour of exercise/week can help reduce your risk suffering depression ( www.doi.org/10.1176/appi.ajp.2017.16111223 )
Our efforts are linked far more to losing weight and building muscle. We have the ability to control our bodies for more than we realize.
As always practice the Next Level Fitness Formula on a weekly basis:
Frequency + Consistency + Effort x ( Intensity ) = Positive Body Change.
Yours in Fitness,
