Get a Head Start-Fitness for Kids

In this day and age of computers and video games, today's youth are more sedentary than ever. As a result, the rate of obesity among our children has been growing very rapidly. Education among our youth, pertaining to fitness and nutrition, is more important now than ever. Studies have been showing that childhood habits, in relation to nutrition and exercise, tend to persist into early adolescence and adulthood. How do we prevent this trend in childhood obesity?

The key to preventing this trend is education. It is very important to educate our nation's youth on how to eat healthy and how to exercise. By promoting this lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise early in childhood, chances are more than likely that such a lifestyle will continue into adulthood.

Can you really spot reduce?

I know we've all seen those infomercials where people with great abs and tight butts are endorsing a product that replace all pieces of exercise equipment and will get you great results with only 15 minutes a day. Or what's equally as bad are the latest diets that promise fast weight loss with little or no exercise.

Unfortunately, I hate to tell you but the only one that really benefits from these products are the companies that sell them. While society gets fatter these companies get wealthier. The only way to get real results is by exercising at high intensities on a consistent basis and eating a healthy well planned diet.

By incorporating strength training into your fitness program you will increase metabolism and burn more fat while your body's at rest. Working large muscle groups, rather than focusing solely on your abs or hips/thighs, will increase lean muscle and burn fat at a much faster rate. Lean muscle burns 9 calories per hour while your body's at rest compared to fat which burns only 4 calories.
