Why is it?

I don't know, because of allot of factors.  I really want to talk about the Holidays, love them, hate them.  It is where America gorges itself and puts on the average of 2 pounds of weight, nice.

Why do you do this to yourself, it's not healthy.  The left overs will be there probably though the weekend, so make a promise to yourself, eat better and less.  Go for a walk between football games.  Run the grand kids around, be healthy this holiday season.

Enough, I wasn't even going to talk about the holidays.  The true reason for the tyred, was walking at the outside mall on Saturday.  America, look at yourself, you drive a block to go to the next store.  I probably know why, you haven't walk a 100 yards since you were 5 years old, and it shows.  Make a comment to your health right know, not on the 1st of January.  Eat better, exercise more and be healthy this December, this is your shout out.  Get busy living, not eating.

Being healthy is a time commitment, it starts with you. Break the cycle, for you and the next generation.  Look ahead not behind, be great today.

Back to the Fat

This is quoted from a article by Anne Allen MD "Your prescription for Health"

Regular physical activity can:

* Reduce mortality and risk of recurrent breast cancer by approx. 50%
* Lower the risk of colon cancer by over 60%
* Reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by approx. 40%
* Reduce the incidence of heart disease and high blood pressure by approx. 40%
* Lower the risk of stroke by 27%
* Lower the risk of developing type II diabetes by 58%
* Be twice as effective in treating type II diabetes than standard insulin prescription and can save $2250 /       person/year when compared to drug treatment
* Decrease depression as effectively as Prozac or behavioral therapy
* Lower, by 20%, the risk of mortality among adults with better muscle strength than adults with lower muscle strength.  It is better to be fit and over weight than unfit with a lower percentage of body fat
* Lead to higher SAT scores in adolescents, and , it can decrease discipline incidents involving violence by 59% and decrease out of school suspensions by 67%

Do I need to comment?  Of course, that is what I do. Can you say drop health care cost, which costs us more then defending our country and will be rising with Obama Care and as the boomers age, enough said.  Get out and exercise and be great today. Trainhard4life Mike

sorry just added the photo, holy crap, not even funny, just sad.  The new norm.

A New Day.

If you follow my websites, posts, life, you have heard me say it before.  Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Life is full of new adventures and challenges.  What we make of life, well, that is up to you.  Be driven, adventurous, be great, but most of all, be a good person.  Would you want to watch a movie about your life?

I hear stories everyday about people and there behaviors, come on man.  Treat each other like you what to be treated.  Be a motivator, inspire greatness, lead by example, and give people the respect they desire (That is loaded).  Go out and earn respect and stop asking for it, or putting your hand out and expect somebody to fill it, go earn it.  Be the person you want to be.

What are you going to do today?  Are you going to be average or above average?  I'm going out right now to be great.
