Jack Lalanne knew.  RossTraining.com Blog: "Jack’s message is still as relevant today as it was when he first shared it."

"What's the good of living if you're miserable all the time?  I am convinced if you will spend just a little more time trying to eat better... get more physical activity...  this wonderful body of ours cannot be functioning right, it can't be happy and it can't repair itself properly if you don't give it the right amount of exercise...  it affects your mind... and you're just kind of down in the dumps... it's not conducive to being happy."

"Now let's find out why people are tired...

1. Lack of Exercise

2. Empty Calories

3. Nervous Tension"

RossTraining.com Blog: "Don’t we all know someone who always complains about feeling tired? If anything, I would guess that more people are tired today than they were in years past. Jack LaLanne’s generation didn’t wake up in the middle of the night to browse their phones. They couldn’t even watch television as stations would sign off the air in the evening. Nowadays, people still eat crap and don’t exercise enough, but they also stay up half the night watching television and playing with their phones. It often seems like today’s generation has more knowledge and technology, but also more problems. Despite all of the information that is accessible to all, people are still tired and out of shape. Little has changed in that regard. Imagine if more people simply followed Jack LaLanne’s advice? Does it really need to be more complicated than that? Do we really need more research to confirm why people are lazy and out of shape? Rather than arguing and debating about what causes the problem, let’s instead encourage more people to get up and move while nourishing their bodies with real food. Science may have evolved in recent years but most people have not. Jack LaLanne was ahead of his time and I don’t see many people today who will be able to follow in his foot steps. He was still going strong in his 90′s. Most people today are struggling to get around in their 40′s and 50′s. Perhaps we aren’t as smart as we’d like to believe. Rather than continually seeking out new information, maybe we should instead listen to the advice that Jack LaLanne was preaching to the masses many decades ago."

Heidi Somers - Mobile Uploads: "I saw something I wanted and I never stopped fighting for it. It was 4 years ago when I was trying on shorts and saw the amount of cellulite I had accumulated on my legs from gaining weight. I remember thinking...what have I done to my body? I use to be so tiny in Highschool! 

People told me "You'll never go back to being skinny like you use to." And they were right. I didn't want to go back to being skinny...I wanted an athletic body."

Timeline Photos - Lift Big Eat Big: "I feel very strongly that if someone can get through the first three months of lifting, they will be able to stick to it long-term. Being overweight to the point that it becomes a detriment to your life isn't just about eating too much: Oftentimes it goes hand-in-hand with depression, which as some of us know, is not something you can simply "snap out" of. 

Check out Streaky here, my O.G. sponsored athlete. She decided to take the necessary means to change her life though lifting and eating for her goals, and it has worked out very well for her, in only the space of a few years. If you know someone that is overweight, and you consider them to be "lazy", they may be extremely depressed, causing them to eat more, causing more depression, etc. So, next time you see an overweight person in the gym, offer them support instead of turning them into an internet joke. Go forth and lift huge. "
