This is a great article by my friend, Drew Baye, a personal trainer in Orlando Fla. He wrote it several years ago, but every word captures and describes the public’s growing realization that exercise, is indeed, a requirement for a long and functional life. He does a great job of putting it in perspective in terms of the real risks, like osteoporosis, and how if left unattended, the body will deteriorate to a state of non-function. High intensity training (HIT) is a safe, effective, and efficient means to combat those risks.
This quote from the article from Arthur Jones, founder of Nautilus, delivers the message simply:
“If I were to grab you by the throat, and choke off your air supply, it would immediately become apparent to you that oxygen is absolutely essential for life. If I were to lock you in a room with no water, after several hours, the degree of thirst you would experience would indicate to you that water is a requirement for life. If I were to lock you in that room with water, but no food, it would take a little longer, a matter of a couple of days, before you would be ravenously hungry, and there would be no question in your mind that food was absolutely essential for life. However, it often takes years before ones body begins to show the harm done by a lack of proper exercise.”
