A new study from the National Longitude Survey of Youth states that in 2004, the overall average annual incomes were $8,666 less for obese women and $4,772 less for obese men. Other studies like the one done by the George Washington University researchers have shown similar losses in averages when it comes to obese people. This cuts across race. If you’re overweight, you will tend to make less money than someone who isn’t obese. The problem isn’t the subtle class distinctions between race but the quick assumptions in physical appearance. The bottom line is this, looking good can affect your bank account.
That’s what the latest studies show. There is more information at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website explaining the causes and consequences of overweight and obesity. Beachbody is one company among many trying to put a stranglehold on obesity. With its latest release of the Les Mills PUMP workout, you can expect an intense workout that uses light weight barbells at high reps. If you’re obese, consult your doctor on the modest courses of action needed to stem tides in eating habits and exercise. The old rule is correct, eat clean and exercise regularly and you will lose weight. Every struggle is different, but consult a Beachbody coach for your workout needs and direction to get in the best possible shape.
