more than 20 states have obesity rates
between 30 and 35 percent for adults
seven states have rates 35 percent or
higher according to the state of obesity
in Florida about 28 percent of adults
are considered obese that's up more than
18 percent back in 2000 when it comes to
children 10 to 17 the state has the
fourth highest obesity rate but there
are some ways that you can improve your
help
it's as simple as making some small
changes joining me this morning - Maya
Rutledge with body paradox this obesity
statistics especially for children for
guys that's terrible yes 32 percent
every year oh my goodness but today is
national fitness day in family Hill yeah
you know people who struggle with
obesity sometimes it's it's like they
can't do a lot you know basically so
what are some ways to kind of introduce
exercise so well a way that you can do
it once you just get started and it
doesn't have to be like that gung-ho hey
let's do it just start out easy
it's always about baby steps so what are
some of those easy so something easy so
even just getting off the couch standing
up sitting down you can actually use the
remote just like you do like some twirls
some arm raises anything that's very
simple like create a extra incentive for
yourself
okay because I mean hey you have to just
get started and it doesn't have to be
hey I have to go run a 5k today but
walking yes but walking so like just
little small goals and always have a
buddy with you because that's gonna have
someone to hold you accountable once
people reach that plateau because a lot
of times people start losing weight you
know especially people who are obese you
typically start to see it yeah dropping
off a little bit quickly but everybody's
gonna reach that plateau where they're
just not losing yeah so then what do you
do so after that that's where you start
creating you have to always do something
different so if you're on a treadmill
for 30 days
then the next time you get on for the
next 30 days if you get on the
elliptical and then then the row machine
like start changing yes start changing
up your routine because when you have a
lot of variety that's where you see the
most results yeah and what exercise does
see the most is there one that's like
it's cardio the way to go if you want to
lose fat or no it's you have you have to
do trainer trainees it's a bit
combination so you have your strength
training you have to do ways then you
have your cardio then you have your heat
train your multifunctional movements so
you are no hits but there there is what
I mean interval training interval
training is like my my personal favorite
so you can do low-impact or you have
your geriatric that's like starting from
the very beginning your geriatric
exercise or doing your SilverSneakers
and then your low-impact being your high
intense and in light little Spartan
races yeah so real quick like 30 seconds
left what's what's your something you
could do in the house really quick while
you're okay morning something something
that you can do in the house you can
actually if you had your foot on a couch
okay so you can just do a one leg put
your foot on the back yeah okay so
it works the quad right after that or
you could use the sofa again or what a
couch you can do push-ups
great yeah do you want to do that
support yes and it is good on the back
and also remember starting out always
keep the heart rate up calisthenics
jumping jacks and for those advanced
