Yesterday I attended a college kinesiology (health & fitness) class and learned a whole slew of facts about topics such as cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis. One common prevention between all the diseases mentioned is exercise. For example, diabetes is most common in overweight or obese people. That’s relatively common knowledge. Something new I learned was that the effects of osteoporosis can be prevented or reduced by load-bearing exercises. Walking, push-ups, weight-lifting, aerobics, and any team sports are considered load-bearing exercises.

I like to work exercise in to my daily tasks. If I need to go buy some candy, then I’ll walk to the grocery store and save the planet at the same time. I couldn’t care if it’s 4 miles away; I get to listen to some podcasts, have some exercise, and enjoy the outdoors for a little while. You may not have a close place to walk to, so get creative. Park as far away as possible from the restaurant you next eat at. Hey, it’s a start. Exercise is win!

Pete Thomas (one of the winners of The Biggest Loser (U.S.) – Season 2) definitely knows about winning and exercise! He won $100,000 for losing the largest percentage of weight during the series. He lost a total of 185 pounds over nine months. The Biggest Loser – Season 2 ran for two and a half months, so six and a half months after the show he continued to lose weight. Thus, the biggest part to weightloss on reality shows, such as The Biggest Loser, is what happens after the show ends. Four years later, he’s kept it off and is now a motivational speaker on exercise, nutrition, and weight loss.
