Weight Gain is as Dangerous as Smoking! PDF Print E-mail

As many of you know the other trainer who works here at MPT with me is named Robert Clark.  He does a great job with personal training and absolutely loves to help people get in shape.

I want to help all of you get to know Rob a little better, so I asked him to write a few blogs.  Over the next couple of weeks I will post those blogs here.

Here is Robs First Blog about Smoking vs. Obesity:

A new study by Oxford University claims obesity is as dangerous to health as smoking.  Epidemiologist Dr Gary Whitlock of Oxford University, who led the analysis, said: ''Excess weight shortens human lifespan.  "In countries like Britain and America, weighing a third more than the optimum shortens lifespan by about three years.  "For most people, a third more than the optimum means carrying 20 to 30kg of excess weight. If you are becoming overweight or obese, avoiding further weight gain could well add years to your life.''              So many people frown upon smoking, including myself.  But lets be honest, an obese person giving someone flack for smoking is being a bit hypocritical.  Obesity is every bit as dangerous as smoking.  You can gradually kill yourself with hot dogs and sodas just as you can gradually kill yourself with cigarettes.  So get that weight down and keep it there!  Just some “food” for thought. (Yes I know that’s lame).  Keep Training!                                                                                                                Regards,                                                                                                               Robert Clark

So, what do you think?  He did a pretty good job writing his first blog didn't he?

Hopefully it helps those of you who are considering working out again to kick it in full gear and get it done!  If you are trying to quit smoking and trying to get in shape, this article should really motivate you!

Make it a great day San Anotnio!
