Why do we care? • Increases prosperity – healthier population = more vibrant economy • Reduces spending on health care and social problems • Contributes to social stability & well being of Canadians and all people • We can’t stay super-beings and young forever….BUT we can slow down the process

  15. What we can do • Get moving more often! • Make PA fun! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXh2n0aPyw • Eat Less • Energy In = Energy Out • 3500kcals = 1 lb of fat • Divide by 7 days = 500 kcal • 500kcal  250 kcal diet 250 kcal PA • Exercise with little or no weight loss is NOT a failure! • Waist Circumference changes but not scale, means there is some good things happening in the body!

  16. FITT FORMULA • F- most days of the week (min. 150 min/week) • I- moderate effort (55%-64% HRmax) • T- Ideally try to accumulate minimum of 30 min daily (min. 150 min/week) • T- walking, cycling, raking, sweeping etc. (try to engage the large muscle groups) • most ppl trying this for the first time, WILL see results • “Confuse the body”  give the body a new stimulus and let it adapt and improve!

  17. Prevention vs Treatment • Pro-actively work to build health rather than keep fixing it • PROVEN!! • 5% decrease in WC = 30% decrease in visceral fat • A 0.4kg increase in visceral fat is associated with 81% higher mortality rate • * light-moderate intensity required to improve health benefits (as little as 500kcal/week) • * moderate-vigourous intensity required to improve aerobic fitness
