Fast Fitness

There was a time in this world when the need to lose weight was completely ignored. People ate very well, but they worked hard to make up for it. They woke up early in the morning and then began a long day’s work. This work was mostly physical “hands-on” labor. Folks worked on fields, digging, sowing, and harvesting. They tilled the soil, rode horses, and worked on farms and ranches. The end result was that they could afford to eat almost anything they wanted in whatever quantities they wanted.

But that was many years ago, and lifestyles have changed. Most of us have sedentary jobs that demand little or no exercise at all. As a result, weight gain has become a major concern for almost every city dweller.

Is it to fit into your old clothes, or perhaps a slinky little outfit you want to get into?

I know it’s difficult, but these days it seems that you can’t turn a magazine page or change a channel without seeing an emaciated, skinny teenager touted as being the image we should all aspire to.
