According to Caitlin Rose the author of Obesity in America “If health is wealth, America is going bankrupt. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of adults and one sixth of children in America are obese. In the past twenty years, obesity rates doubled for adults and tripled for children. If these trends continue, by the time today’s children reach adulthood, obesity will be the norm and healthy weight the exception”. This is why my group and I brought about this wonderful guide on how to properly exercise and thus obtain a healthy active lifestyle. At the bottom we will show various exercise routines that can be used by beginners and advance gym users to obtain the body of their dreams.
