Hey everyone, I thought I would sit down and throw together a few thoughts that I'm learning from my weekly fit clubs. The obesity crisis in America is so huge. We have a big roll to play in this as individuals, as trainers, nutritionists, coaches, and parents.
We find that since 1985 when they really started tracking the statistics of obesity that it has sky rocketed. The website: http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html, shares a pictorial view of how quickly this trend has spread across the United States.
Take a look at the 2010 rates straight from the CDC site:
| 2010 State Obesity Rates | |||||||

| State | % | State | % | State | % | State | % |
| Alabama | 32.2 | Illinois | 28.2 | Montana | 23.0 | Rhode Island | 25.5 |
| Alaska | 24.5 | Indiana | 29.6 | Nebraska | 26.9 | South Carolina | 31.5 |

This brings me to the title of what we are doing here in the great 208 State....from the East to the West Side, and we'll soon move across the state like a wide spread storm... a group of people united, who are after the mission at hand in ending the trend of obesity, we are sharing fitness, and health, and nutrition with people for free at weekly fit clubs.....using world class workouts, such as P90X, Insanity, Slim in 6, RevAbs and so many others and sharing fitness with their communities for free....but this isn't all, we are inviting those who attend to pay it forward to share the treasure of health with others. Let them come and enjoy the atmosphere, taste Shakeology, or other nutritional items, and the best part...flat out have a great time.
Here in the 208 we are after it, we are going to change lives, help others, and be a movement for good in this nation, when this nation needs us most we will be there, taking a stand, and sharing that we can take back our bodies, our fitness, and our health.
