With the UK now ranked as having the highest obesity in Europe, the importance of keeping fit has never been more relevant and the founders of a revolutionary new fitness website www.ikeepfit.com which launches on 4 January 2011, are hoping to help to help tackle the problem.
Created by two of the UK’s top personal trainers Marc Marchant and Nick Mays who trains the likes of David Walliams, Irina Abramovich and Mario Testino, Marc and Nick are hoping that through the website they will help to re-educate the public to see fitness as an important lifelong commitment and not just a fad New Year’s resolution. Cheaper than a gym and packed with great workouts and nutritious healthy eating plans, www.ikeepfit.com will give you the benefits of having personal training, but at a fraction of the cost.
Commenting on the current obesity problem, and the impact of obesity on health, ikeepfit’s Marc Marchant said “ikeepfit’s medical expert Dr Ayan Panja has confirmed that if obesity levels continue to rise at the current rate, then 9 out of 10 people in the UK will be obese by 2050 which is a really terrifying proposition. Research over the years has demonstrated the strong links between obesity and health problems such as Type 2 Diabetes and many of these can be avoided. Motivation and budget can often be the problem – the cost of having a personal trainer can be prohibitive and the current economic climate has forced the sale of food at low prices which is highly calorific but with little nourishment. “
With the excesses of Christmas now gone, losing weight often tops the New Year’s Resolution polls but with the ever increasing headlines about the UK having the highest level of obesity in Europe it would seem that this is a New Year’s resolution that is frequently broken
