"What You Do Today Can Improve All of Your Tomorrows!"

This quote by Ralph Marston is significantly important when it comes to our health and well-being.  If we live a sedentary lifestyle and consistently eat unhealthy foods, the results won’t be a surprise.  Medical problems should be expected!

What do the following people have in common: Patti LaBelle, Gary Hall, Jr., Billie Jean King, Bobby Clarke, Arthur Ashe, Halle Berry, Walt Frazier, Jerry Lewis, Ernest Hemingway, and Chris Matthews?

YES, they are diabetics. Some of these famous people have Type 1 diabetes.  Living with Type 1 diabetes presents many challenges, but, in most cases, these diabetics have learned to manage their illness at very early ages.  

Do you know any other diabetics? YES, you do! They are among your neighbors, colleagues, family, and so many others you meet daily. Type 2 diabetes has become an epidemic throughout our country.  In most situations, this is a preventable disease.  So, why would anyone live a lifestyle that would lead them directly down the path towards diabetes?  

The answer is not always so simple. As a health and fitness partner of the American Diabetes Association-Eastern New England, my Fitness Together studio assists individuals with Type 2 diabetes (among other illnesses) quite often.  Our primary goal is to assist each Type 2 diabetic client in developing a healthier lifestyle and to reduce their reliance on medication. 

If you know a Type 2 diabetic, you should encourage him/her to begin a regular exercise routine and to eat healthier.  You could be saving a life…

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 20^th, my clients, friends, and supporters will be among the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Fitness Together studios taking action to bring awareness to the seriousness of diabetes.  We will be at the 2012 StepOut Walk to STOP Diabetes at Boston Common.  I am proud to state that for the 3^rd consecutive year, my studio will have the most participants among all of the Fitness Together studios!
