Overweight? Here's Another Reason to Workout.

In recent years the idea that it's possible to be fit while also being overweight has become increasingly common. However, studies have shown it to be quite the opposite. In fact, the claims from a new study suggest that those who are of normal weight and do not exercise at all are at a 30 percent lower risk of death than those who are overweight and workout daily. While that may be discouraging for those who are trying to lose weight, with exercise, dieting, and dedication, anyone can achieve a healthy body weight and lifestyle. #BeTheChange #Flex5
