by Jim Coughlin I was watching the tee vee the other day and was disgusted to discover that 20 percent of America's population is obese. Yes, 20 PERCENT! So given that our population is about 300 million, that means 60 million people are currently overweight, fat and unhealthy. I also saw that of those 60 million, 9 million are children! This is absolutely reprehensible. Instead of our kids playing at the playground like they used to, they're now playing playstations. Instead of parents packing healthy lunches for school (like my mom did when I was a kid), they're now giving their kids "lunch money" which they most likely spend on fast food, soda and other crap. Look, how the heck are our kids suppose to be healthy when we the "adults" don't lead by example and can't do the same? We complain, piss and moan about exercising and eating healthy, yet our bodies are getting fatter by the day and our blood pressure is rising by the week. If you were to research the average life expectancy in America you would find the number to be 77.7 years. Well, who freaking cares if we live to 77 years old when most if not all of those years are in horrible quality.
It's time to start taking responsibility. And this responsibility starts with YOU. Are you doing everything you can to live a healthy, productive life? And when I say that, I mean...Are you exercising everyday? Are you eating healthy (lean meats, fruits, vegetables, etc.) at least 6 days out of the week? If you answered NO to any of these questions, well, you are NOT doing everything you can do and you're contributing to the 20 percent of fat, unhealthy Americans. You're part of the problem - NOT the solution. And to be quite honest with you, you can go ahead and UNSUBSCRIBE yourself from this newsletter if you continue this trend. What's the point in me sending you these tips if you aren't going to listen. Yes, this may make you mad, but I really don't care. You need to hear it. I'm sick and tired of people making excuses. What more do I have to say? I mean geez...read the headline again. If that doesn't motivate you and get your attention, NOTHING will! Now, if you are exercising everyday, eating healthy and teaching your kids to do the same, good for you! Spread the word. Encourage others to do the same. YOU are doing so much good for our country and for that, I commend you! That's all for today. Let's start taking some responsibility...Are you with me? Yours in Total Fitness and Maximum Success,
