Why is it with all the hype about health and fitness and dieting, that people are not getting any healthier and obesity still continues to rise? Over 60% of the population are out of shape and 20% are obese. Not only this but also with degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes etc. Experts have linked instances of these diseases with the change in diet and the resulting increase in weight of the general population over the past three decades.

Science shows us that as we age we lose 30% of our muscle mass. This is not just from the body we see in the mirror but also comes from our vital organs. So as we age our heart, liver and kidneys and even our brain waste away! Muscle loss can lead to cardiovascular problems, reduce hormone secretions and cause poorly functioning organs and even if a person stays at the same weight between 30 and 60 they will still be 30% less muscle and 30% more fat. Our bodies get shapeless as we lose our strength, look, feel and become old.

Muscle is the one vital thing that science says we should hold on to to remain youthful, fit and full of energy. Studies have found that a pound of muscle burns between 50 and 100 calories a day and 90% of the calories we burn on a daily basis are due to our muscle. So if a person's metabolism slows down and their food intake remains the same they will still gain weight.

Insulin is a fat storing hormone that if raised high enough, long enough and frequently enough, contributes to diabetes, heart disease and ageing. Carrying weight on the tummy area is an indication that the persons diet is too high in sugar, fat and processed foods. So what can we do about this?

Educogym personal training studios run by Caroline Whelan and Deidre Dempsey who collectively have 45 years of experience in the health and beauty industry have been transforming the shape and lives of hundreds of men and women in Waterford for the past five years. At Educogym all the focus is on the client to get them into their best shape. 85% of results is eating a natural diet and with 20 minutes of supervised resistance training the results are remarkable. Not only does resistance training prevent muscle loss, it also forces calcium into the bones and increases growth hormone (often referred to as the youth hormone) - abundant when you are young but diminishes as you get older. This hormone is also responsible for giving us a small waist, toned body, smooth skin and much more. Celebrities pay large amounts of money for growth hormone injections but you can manufacture your own with just 20 minutes of intensive exercise, and by following a natural diet and healthy lifestyle.

So whoever you are, the solution described above is the only game in town. Will it work for you? Take a look at our most recent before and afters of ordinary people just like you who made the vital decision to change. If you were considering starting a fitness programme surely you would only bother with the one that's going to get you results. For those of you searching for value for money this is it! Results with no wasted effort or money. Go on, make that decision to change and join today!

    Google AlertWhen a company which has it's European Headquarters here in Ireland is called 'evil' and 'immoral' by M.P.s in The House of Commons you tend to sit up and take notice. The particular company that was being referred to was Google and the reason it had enraged M.P.s in London was because even though it has a big operation there and conducts a lot of business there it pays no corporate tax.
