As hard as it is for a lot of people, exercise is an absolute necessity. I know quite a few people who want to lose weight and have tried every fad diet out there with little or no results. Frustrated, they don't know what to do. Here's the answer: hard-work and an unwavering dedication to burn more calories than you consume!

Somehow we've become physically quite lazy in our society. Many people have sedentary office jobs, watch countless hours of TV, and our kids are growing up playing video games and are afraid of manual labor, hard work, and sweating.

One out of every four people* in the U.S. are considered obese.

If you are overweight or obese this is what you get to look forward to:*

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
• Osteoarthritis (Joint Degeneration)
• Dyslipidemia (High Cholesterol)
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Coronary Heart Disease
• Stroke
• Gallbladder Disease
• Respiratory Problems including Sleep Apnea
• Cancer

Exercise is not only for weight control or shedding that unwanted body fat. Exercise is essential for total overall health. Exercise strengthens your cardiovascular system (heart and lungs), tones muscles, strengthens tendons, mobilizes joints, removes toxins, assists with digestion, kicks up blood flow, oxygenates the blood, and decreases stress- just to name a few.

"If you don't take time in your life now for exercise and health, then you will have to take the time for illness later."
- Dr. Wayne Dyer, Ph.D

As we continue to evolve spiritually, at some point our bodies must become physically strong enough to withstand the power of our spirit and begin to allow the spirit of God to meander through us. This can, in part, be accomplished through exercise.

You know what you need to do, now commit and get it done!
