Obesity

Obesity has become a huge problem in America and even in our area here in the Black Hills. Obesity just means that you have too much body fat. Taking in more calories than you burn leads to obesity. Did you know that in the last year the adult obesity rates went up in 16 states and none of the rates of obesity went down. Twenty years ago, no state had an obesity rate over fifteen percent.

There are many ways to stop the obesity from progressing upward, such as making people aware of it and what is happening around them. Also, people could take part in exercise programs at the Belle Fourche Recreation Center and Curves or other programs in the community that help you maintain a constant body weight and stay fit. I think that obesity has become a big problem and it needs to be known in the USA and acted upon. I hope you take caution when going out to eat and stay healthy and fit.

    Obesity is a very big problem in America. It is crazy that the rates are going up instead of down. Great, interesting blog, Alissa!

    I would have to agree that something really does need to be done about this.

    What are some of the programs at the Rec Center or at Curves that people would enjoy? What are some tips for sticking with a fitness routine?

      Some of the ones offered at the Rec Center are Zumba and Exercise classes, they are offered a few days a week. Curves you can just use the gym and get a membership when you want to go. To stick to a routine, you just have to be motivated. Without motivation, you do not get anything done.
