Obesity has become an epidemic in America. 33.8% of American citizens are considered obese, which means that their BMI is 30 or greater. In 2010 every state in the United States had at least 20% rate of obesity, with 30.5% of adults in Pennsylvania being obese.
On Saturday, 10/1/11, PinnacleHealth is sponsoring the Walk from Obesity to help combat this problem and support those who are obese in our community in their efforts to make positive changes in their health.
Walking is one of the easiest forms of cardiovascular exercise, and a great way to start working towards reaching your weight loss goals. Just about everyone can participate, at any fitness level, and it can be done anywhere in a gym on the treadmill, on a track, at the mall, even right outside your front door. There are even walking workout DVDs that you can purchase to walk your way to better health inside your own living room.
Walking is a step in the right direction if youre trying to lose weight. A fat reducing review can help you produce a clear summarize of what you require to focus on to achieve your fat reducing objective if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more advance level of their weight-loss program. Following are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your special weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss courses have fooled people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by causing a person's body to reduce more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. In addition to helping control weight, walking can improve your health by:
- Reducing blood pressure
- Reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol levels
- Controlling diabetes
- Improving immune system
- Improving circulation
- Preventing osteoporosis
