Let’s start this article by saying what obesity is NOT.
Obesity is NOT a moral failure, obesity is NOT a weakness of character, and obesity is NOT a lifestyle choice.
Stay with me here.
Obesity also is not a number on a scale.
What is obesity?
Here are some benefits of getting down to a lower body fat that might help you stay focused this year.
When your body is functioning in a lean condition, every movement requires less power than before because now you have decreased excess body fat.
Everything from running, jumping, to burpees and even squatting become less challenging to perform. As a result, you will be able to do more volume, run faster, jump higher, and you will need to add additional resistance to exercises like squats because you have already overcome your bodyweight.
The word obesity makes people uncomfortable. When we have conversations about obesity, the way we frame the conversation has a huge impact on the effect that it has on others.
