By 2030 that the majority of Britons will be overweight or obese

We are told that by 2030 that the majority of Britons will be overweight or obese.  73% of men and 63% of women will be overweight.  (Guardian 06.05.15)

 

Does it matter?  Is being fat just going to be ‘normal’?  Well, I think it does matter and I’ll tell you why.

If you are overweight;

 

·         You are at risk of diabetes

·         You are at risk of cardiac disease, high blood pressure and stroke

·         Your joints will ache from the extra weight

·         You will struggle to carry out normal everyday tasks

·         You will get breathless easily

·         You risk urinary incontinence

·         You are likely to have back ache

·         You might feel fed up with yourself

·         Your sex life might suffer

·         You are more likely to feel tired from carrying around extra weight (if you know how much extra you weigh – try finding something of an equivalent weight and carry it around)

·         Bits of skin will rub against other bits of skin and get sore

 Don’t worry – help is at hand !!  Get to one of our gyms (or if you live too far away – get in contact – we have a brand new on line system coming very soon) and take some advice
