Boot Camp owner: Exercise is A matter of life and death

Exercise really is one thing that every one of us can do and it almost guarantees a return on your investment –improved health and reduced risks of many diseases.  The power is in our hands — so Just Do It!

“While smoking is prevalent in many other countries as well, studies show that the US remains the home of the most obese adults,” says Natalie Lahnan, CPT owner of the Naples/Marco Island Adventure Boot Camp for Women. “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 67 percent of Americans aged 20 and older are either overweight or obese. And research has shown that these people have an increased risk of premature death as compared to individuals with a healthy weight.”

Lahnan points to what doctors and public health officials have been saying for years: that obesity-caused ailments such as heart disease, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, as well as some kinds of cancer, can lead to premature death.
