Biggest Loser To Biggest Winner
The western world is in the grips of an obesity explosion unprecedented in history. Type 2 diabetes affects people of increasingly younger ages. Experts suggest that today’s parents may well outlive their children. Never before has it been more important to find and embrace a better, healthier way of life.
Shows like The Biggest Loser TV reality show have shone the spotlight on the challenges that many overweight people face in their quest to shed the excess pounds. This show polarizes opinion.
Many have suggested that the methods employed are unrealistic and quite possibly unsafe for the general population and that the show exists purely to line the pockets of the shows producers and the networks that broadcast it. These are valid criticisms and while there is no doubt that there are significant health risks with the methods employed the shows popularity reflected in the profits generated by the show is undeniable.
For many viewers, this show provides hope and inspiration. Through watching the tremendous success of the shows participants our own hopes and dreams seem that much more attainable.
Watching Andrea Hough (eliminated April 2010) in her quest to lose belly fat and for that matter all over bodyfat (76pounds lost on the show) iis a testament to the power of the human spirit.
Andrea has gone on to become a Spin Instructor and to take the message that change is possible and worth striving for to the wider public. Fabulous Blue Team coach Bob Harper got his start by seeking certification with the American Fitness Training of Athletics and the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. If you would like to become a Trainer, gaining the best personal training certification possible is key in ensuring your ability to provide a quality service to you clients.
What we can draw from shows like the Biggest Loser is that we can make a difference with quality knowledge, a sound team and people who are prepared to commit to a better way. Like Andrea, those who have the most to lose have the most to gain and possibly the most to give as they help others live a better life!
