MIAMI is the Fattest City in America
How is it possible for this city to be the fattest city in the US? Mensfitness Magazine states that there is a lack of participation among gym memberships, outdoor activities, and the culture of eating is not the healthiest http://www.mensfitness.com/lifestyle/215.
We have the weather to lead people to want to look good so they can show if off at the beach all of the time, but maybe the beaches are less crowded now a days..
It is all very true. I have seen it myself. You walk around downtown and there are fried food stands everywhere and there are people lined up to get their coffee and empanadas every day. There are more fast food restaurants and the restaurants that do have healthier choices are overly priced. So of course in these times people are trying to conserve a little and go for the economic choice. Shopping healthy is very expensive too. I try to buy only the healthy items that I know I eat all the time: Organic Bread in the frozen section, egg whites, organic peanut butter, fruits and veggies.
There are some new clients that I have just picked up and it is sad to see young adults who are obese! I am talking between the ages of 22-32 and they are considered obese. I see it at boot camp as well. There are young people who try my boot camp and my 40, 50; 60 year olds are passing them by!! What is that all about? Is the problem that young Miami people are too lazy?
Something that I hear all of the time from people in their late teens and early 20s is that they can eat anything, they don’t gain weight, because at that point their genetics has held them from becoming overweight but once they continue to eat fried food, white rice and beans everyday it will ALWAYS catch up to you. This is called “CREEPING OBESITY”. It can happen to anyone. Most of my clients wish they could have started much earlier in their life because they know they could be looking and feeling better even more so than they do now training with me.
I also believe that we are too concerned with the next most happening party and newest happy hour instead of taking care of ourselves first. I am a believer of being social, going out and having a great time, but you need to take care of business at your job and the well being of yourself before anything. The reality is, is that the purpose of going to happy hours, and going out is to meet new people and with friends, but eventually you’re not going to want to be seen. I do not mean to sound superficial because it is not all about the looks, it is about the disease that you will develop.
What is your excuse for not working out at least 3-4 days per week?
