Fitness guru to help the military?

Posted by Sean on July 17, 2010

I’m not sure how I feel about this? I’m still baffled and frankly disgusted that the military actually needs help with their fitness level and is fighting obesity amongst its ranks???
What happened to our military?
Yes, I understand the obesity epidemic going on nationally, but how did the military become so sedentary that they became obese? Many moons ago as a former Jarhead, physical fitness wasn’t optional.
*sigh*
Now we need (is need a really good word) the help from a ‘fitness guru’ (slang term for someone who lost weight, shared their story and now is an expert) to assist our enlisted personnel in losing weight??
Help me out here my fellow readers.
What am I missing? Or am I the only one that’s a tad bit upset/disturbed/shocked by this??
