Ahhhh.... The Family Fit Story. (Caution: You may not like what you read) America has been overfed and under nourished for decades. This nice little fact, coupled with the advent of computers and video games and Shazzzaammm, we have a two headed monster attacking us from many angles. We consume way too many calories for the amount of energy we expend. It's really that simple. Yes, there are many other side discussions that can be talked about in more depth, but the bottom line is... We need to eat less and burn more energy! Our bodies are still the same since God created them. They need calories (energy) to live and function. But, our bodies also need the right nutrients in the correct amounts in order to function at peak performance. Most food we eat is processed and robbed of these nutrients, and on top of that the calories have increased. (High fructose corn syrup is a major contributor to this, but we'll get more into this later) This has created an imbalance in our diets. We eat and then overeat, all while exercising and moving less. These two components are the beginning of the end for most Americans. Oh, and I forgot to mention how most US families are busier now than they have ever been. Why is this? As a personal trainer, I see it everyday. Parents can't get athletes to training sessions because the kids have too many things competing for their time. The reason most parents lives are so crazy busy is because they can't say NO! Unfortunately, the inability to say NO will ultimately rob their children of vital connection a family unit and probably lead to a diet filled with fast food and processed food. Does any part of what I just said make sense? Does this describe your family? As a parent of four incredible kids, my wife and I have vowed to educate them on the importance of healthy eating and physical exercise. Family Fit America is a vision I have to unite our country through education, diet and exercise, but it goes much further than this. My passion is to ultimately see families spending more time connecting and becoming closer through this process. Will you join the Family Fit America Movement with me?
