This week Cris and Marla will be at the UW Medical Center giving a talk to the staff on "Motivation and Fitness." We also found a great video online about fitness, "23 and half" a few items to keep in mind while watching this.
An important quote below from the research Dr. Mike Evans is referring to in his video:
"We've studied this from many perspectives in women and in men and we get the same answer: It's not the obesity—it's the fitness."
-Steven Blair, P.E.D., Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research, 2004
"Groundbreaking work on fitness and weight has been done by [epidemiologist Steven] Blair and colleagues at the Cooper Institute. They have shown that the advantages of being fit are striking and that people can be fit even if they are fat … and thus have lowered risk of disease. A remarkable finding is that heavy people who are fit have lower risk than thin people who are unfit."
-Dr. Kelly Brownell, Director of the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders, 2003
