BE THE BETTER MAN

We are the HEAVY HITTERS...

 

Our team represents obesity, one of the more overlooked diseases and yet still, the most obvious.  Obesity is a condition that is associated with having an excess of body fat, defined by genetic AND environmental factors which are difficult to control even while dieting.  More than one third of children and adolescents are overweight so instead of judging or reducing this disease to a case of poor eating habits, we are raising awareness.  Our team is going to carry the weight this time.

 

Obesity is not simply a cosmetic problem but it greatly increases the risks for other health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, abnormal blood fats, metabolic syndrome, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and even reproductive problems.  Since 1980, overweight rates have doubled among children and tripled among adolescents - increasing the number of years they are exposed to the health risks of their condition.  To increase the life span of our children and improve their quality of life - we have to get the moving.  We're going to do a little thing they call exercise now, but back in the day, it was simply called FUN.

 

Our team is made up of athletes and some even some models from all over New York city ready to put our athletic abilities to the test. It's no secret, we love our bodies and every day, we push ourselves to the limit in our personal efforts to live longer lives and we believe if everyone did that, we would have better health outcomes in our communities.

With Love and Health Always,

The Heavy Hitters
