Finally, some GOOD news!

Story after story has been written about how Americans are big and unhealthy. Finally we have some good news for a change!

It seems the message about healthy living is getting out. I'm pretty sure it is due to the far reaching effects of this blog and my 3 readers!

CDC report finds more American adults engage in physical activity.

WebMD (11/22) reported, "More U.S. adults are making fitness a habit, according to the CDC," whose data indicate "that the percentage of U.S. adults reporting regular exercise or physical activity jumped nearly nine percent from 2001 to 2005." The agency surveyed "more than 205,000 adults in 2001, and more than 356,000 adults in 2005." The data also show that "African-American men and women made the largest gains in their physical activity and exercise statistics." This is "a step in the right direction," the CDC said. Still, "fewer than half of U.S. adults meet the government's minimum standards for physical activity."

If you are looking for some ideas on how you can get more active and join the masses so WebMD will write about YOU, check TheFitDoc.com or send me an email. I'm always happy to hear from any of my three readers.
