Welcome to Hip 2 B Fit

Hey, remember that old song from Huey Lewis and the News, "Hip to be Square"?  Huey says he cut his hair, was working out every day and watching what he eats. Well, that was over 20 years ago, and these days I think it's time to make getting fit hip again. In fact, more than ever I'd say we need to spread the message, " it's hip 2 b fit"!  Remember back in the day when we all cared how we looked? You wouldn't dare go to school if just one hair was out of place. Years go by, and as we grew older, all of a sudden we found ourselves out of shape and failing to think of reasons why it's important to keep in shape. But there are lots of reasons to stay in shape or get back into shape: 1. living longer, 2. general appearance, 3. living with less pain, 4. less chance of diseases like diabetes, 5. less stress, and on and on I could go.

I hope to grow this site with lots of helpful information to help everyone get in better shape. No, I'm not a doctor although like a lot of adults these days, I am going back to school and nutrional science is my major. I've made fitness a lifestyle choice for myself.  I hope others will choose the same thing.

More and more people are succumbing to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.  than any other generation. Obviously, a healthy lifestyle doesn't guarantee a 100 percent protection from all health issues, but it does radically improve your chances of avoiding many health risks.

As we develop this site, we'll talk about some of the biggest threats to your health known to man, and it's available at your local grocery store. In fact its in almost everything you buy. It's called High Fructose Corn Syrup, and you should avoid it at all costs. It's in soft drinks, junk food, and almost any processed food with sugar now has it thanks to it's cheap production costs. It's highly addictive and makes you want to eat more and more, turning off the body's signals to the brain that you are full. Now add to that the fact that any sugar will spike your insulin, which makes you gain fat and pushes the accelerator on the aging process.
