46th in the nation...

Way to go Kentucky...the state celebrated an amazing athletic accomplishment in April, an 8th NCAA National Championship in basketball.  While another banner is hung in Rupp Arena, the state of Kentucky ranks 46th in the United States in least OBESE states.  An estimate is that over 31% of the state is obese.
An USA Today article says that by 2030 the United States as a whole will be somewhere close to 40% obese.

Maybe that does not alarm you, maybe you look at that number and say oh, well that can't be me.  That is what I thought.  I was overweight, yes.  Heavy, yeah okay.  Obese, not me.  Obesity is measured on the BMI scale.  If your Body Mass Index is over 30% you are considered obese.  Let me give you my numbers at 5'9" and 218 lbs, I was at a BMI of over 32% (besides looking like a pregnant man).

Check for yourself...what is your BMI.

1)  If you find yourself needing to make a change. I want to help you do that.

2) If you find yourself wanting to be a part of helping others make a change.  I want to help you do that.

Join Team Beachbody in our goal to end the trend of obesity!!!!  The Revolution Has Begun!!!
