Experts Warn of Childhood Obesity Pandemic but Premier-Sport ...
Los Angeles, CA (FV Newswire) - Eric Bonilla, spokesperson for Premier-Sport-Fitness.com, is worried about obesity in the US. Among the most worrying problems are skyrocketing rates of obesity among children, which make them much more prone to chronic diseases as they grow older and could shave years off their lives, experts said. Bonilla said, however, his company has the keys for making exercise fun and productive, helping kids shed excess weight. The children in this generation may be the first in history to die before their parents because of health problems related to weight, Kate Steinbeck, an expert in children's health at Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, said in a statement. It is also a well-documented fact that today's kids are less physically active then kids were a generation ago.

If the folks at Parkview Health & Fitness Center haven't seen me for awhile, it's not because I've abandoned weight training or running on the treadmill. It's just that I now do both in the sunroom a few steps from my kitchen – and a goodly portion of the rest of the family does, too. The RFG is a home gym on a budget. It's equipped with a squat rack salvaged from my brother-in-law's basement, a NordicTrack treadmill that had been spending far too much time folded up next to the big screen in my daughter-in-law's tiny living room, a weight bench bought for less than $100 on sale at MC Sports, and my husband Ray's collection of dumbbells and other weights.
