Save The Environment by Burning Fat
People want to lose weight but just cant find the
motivation to get it done.
You hear “I want to”. You hear “I should”. You
know what would be really nice to hear? How about
“The reality I live in is directly affected by the
actions I take every day”. This applies not only
to your body but also the collective body of
humanity we call earth. What if I told you that if
you didn’t walk to work you would be contributing
to the end of life as we know it on earth inside
the next 50 years? Would that get you motivated to
start taking care of yourself? I thought so and
here is the explanation so I don’t come off as a
personal trainer/ environmental crackpot.
If you walked 10 miles in a week instead of
driving you would eliminate 500 pounds of carbon
dioxide emissions from getting into the
environment and speeding up global warming every
single year. Those 10 miles of walking would also
burn 1000 calories for the average 160 pound
person walking at a moderate pace. If you weigh
more, then you burn more fat. That’s the great
news. This is because the extra weight requires
extra energy to move it. Kind of like an SUV
burning more gas then a Mini.
By walking those 10 miles a week you will lose 1.3
pounds of fat a month by doing absolutely nothing
else. Now this is very conservative. For me it is
a 6 mile walk to work and then home. I work 5 days
a week. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to
work if I do a little jog in there.
Lets look at the week totals then in my case. 5
days per week times 6 miles equals 30 miles walked
per week. Those 30 miles per week burned 3.9
pounds of fat each and every month without even
watching my diet. Can you imagine if your walking
turned into running, as you got fit? You would be
in shape in no time!
Now take it a step further. Become a personal
trainer, walk to work with someone else, double
the saved carbon dioxide emissions and get paid
$80/ hour while you are at it. Just hypothetically
speaking of course. People often say that it’s
easy to be fit when you are a personal trainer for
a living. I tell them they are right. I’ve made
fitness a part of my life and so can you. You just
have to think like a kid and be creative. The way
you used to be before the mainstream got a hold of
you is the way you are supposed to be. Free and
following your inner voice. Do what you want, its
usually the right choice.
What about the time constraints? That’s six hours
of walking every week! So what. What else were you
going to do? Watch TV? Work longer? Keep wasting
time with coffee pot seminars? Forget about the
time, the real question is; “Are you serious about
losing weight?” Maybe you just want to save the
environment. Would you rather drive to the gym,
burn some gas and then bounce away on the
treadmill staring at the wall in front of you? Or
would you rather listen to the birds, de-stress
from your day so you don’t yell at your kids and
save the environment at the same time?
Back to saving the world by getting a six-pack. In
the above case we have saved the world by stopping
1500 pounds of carbon dioxide from getting into
the environment. Great, so what difference does
that make? It makes a big difference to the polar
bears and people of New York. If we don’t do
something different, more than a million species
worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.
It’s hard to believe but a ton of those little
critters are already heading towards the poles
because of the rising earth temperature. The polar
bears will start drowning because there is nowhere
to get a leg up! If we don’t change SOMETHING the
9/11 memorial and a good portion of Manhattan will
be under water when the ice caps melt away. Maybe
that doesn’t seem serious to you. Maybe it really
isn’t a big deal. Maybe, just maybe this whole
global warming this is a big fat lie. This could
all just be the natural ebb and flow cycle of the
earth. Just a big “breathe in breathe” out of the
big momma.
If in fact the earth is fine and everything we are
doing with chemicals, carbon dioxide, toxic waste
and forest burning is having absolutely no effect
on the environment then no problem! If that’s the
case then my response is “Go walk to work. Its
good for you and it burns fat.”
