Tampa Bay Coach Has Cure to Contagious Obesity Epidemic
The obesity epidemic is now being shown to be contagious through the avenue of friendships. Tampa Bay Coach Jim Horning has the cure to this contagious epidemic.
Tampa, FL, July 28, 2007 --(PR.com)-- It was Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes who said, "Tell me what company thou keepst, and I'll tell thee what thou art." Little did de Cervantes know that his comment would one day apply to the rising obesity epidemic.
The public has just been notified of a new study conducted by the New England Journal of Medicine that basically warns us to be careful who our friends are. According to local news channels, friendship is now being credited with being a large determinant in the obesity epidemic; in essence, you can catch obesity from your friends.
Tampa Bay Adventure Boot Camp owner and head fitness trainer, Coach Jim Horning, is not all that shocked by the results being shared via news venues around the nation. “It stands to reason that those we spend the most amount of time with are going to influence our choices.”
Horning continues, “Americans typically spend more time with their friends then they do their family members… when we share meals, activities, interests, etc. with someone else, we tend to become more and more like them.”
Newsweek reporter Mary Carmichael revealed that those who have an obese friend stand a 57% chance of becoming obese themselves. That percentage increases to 71% if the friend is of the same age. Carmichael reported further that the closer the friends are, the more the percentage increased… up to 171%.
“The answer is simple”, says Horning, “friends need to commit to a healthy lifestyle together… a team is always more successful when each player is on the same page.”
It is for the reason of “friendship influence” that programs such as Horning’s outdoor women’s fitness group are so successful. Friends are watching one another firm and tone up with a reported average body fat percentage loss of 3-5%, 5-12 pound weight loss, 1-3 inch reduction in the midsection and a 100% increase in confidence in as little as 4 weeks.
“There’s no gimmick, no magic pill… it does take commitment and hard work”, states Horning.
He’s right. The truth is that the Tampa Bay Adventure Boot Camp is just one of many successful avenues friends can commit to for the purpose of battling and beating the obesity epidemic that is running rampant in our nation.
Horning states the solution quite simply, “Folks need motivation for increased movement, nutritional moderation and kindness in the form of educated instruction and camaraderie. In this web-based world, fitness must be convenient so that friends can easily incorporate it into their lives. At www.TampaBootCamp.com they can find that convenience.”
Epicurus once said, "It is not so much our friends' help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us." If we can “catch” obesity from our friends, then there is no reason we can’t “spread” the fitness bug; after all, they are counting on us to help them.
