Exercise is NOT a luxury for those who desire a body that looks great in a bathing suit. It is an absolute necessity for a long healthy life. The World Health Organization says that physical inactivity is a major contributor to disease worldwide and is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality. With roughly a third of the world’s population inactive, physical inactivity is responsible for an estimated 6 to 10 percent of non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, and colon cancer. Overall it is responsible for 9 percent of premature deaths—5.3 million deaths in 2008. If you want to help solve the health care crisis, get off your ass and MOVE!
