Fighting to get the Military in Shape<\/h3>\n

The military is consulting with Tony Horton, who is building a “functional fitness” program to help reverse the obesity trend, re<\/a>ports NPc’s online magazine<\/a>. \u00a0 Tony Horton, P90X fitness trainer guru, \u00a0is reported to be currently working on a mufti-dimensional approach to military fitness which will \u00a0involve elements of the “X” (short talk for P90X to those not in the know); this system will involve muscle confusion that includes cardio, weight training and his much-loved yoga.<\/p>\n

I had read many stories about how our nations downward spiral towards obesity, this has impacted our nations military in a negative fashion. \u00a0Not only are our nations enrollees too obese to enlist but, if you saw season 10 of the Biggest Loser, you witnessed some horrid nutrition being fed to the soldiers that did make it through the enlistment requirements. \u00a0After a full day of working out, \u00a0boot camp style for lean and healthy solders, they then are faced with an artery clogging heart attack worthy buffet line. \u00a0I do hope that the military also takes some nutrition tip from the X man and then the steps to revamp the military nutritional plan as well as their fitness training regime. \u00a0If the military experiences the same success as the dedicated users of the P90X program then our military will soon be a force ready to take on their adversary without pause.<\/p>\n

You can see the various opinions on the state of our future enlistees here by reading:<\/p>\n

NPR’s: To Fat to Fight: Obesity Threatens Military Recruiting<\/a>, that posts facts like these:<\/p>\n

During World War II, at least 40 percent of potential military recruits were undernourished. So after the war, military leaders helped convince Congress to pass the\u00a0National School Lunch Program\u00a0to make subsidized meals part of kids’ nutritional curriculum.
\nAnd, maybe partly as a result, today’s soldiers are an inch-and-a-half taller on average.
\nBut now the military has the opposite problem, young people are getting too much nutrition. A growing number of potential recruits are “too fat to fight.”<\/p>\n

Science Daily’s: Climbing Obesity Rates Threaten U.S. National Security by Hampering Military Recruitment<\/a>
\nAlmost one in four applicants to the military are rejected for being overweight or obese — it’s the most common reason for medical disqualification,”John Cawley, associate professor of policy analysis and management\u00a0said. “With an active war in Afghanistan and continuing operations in Iraq, it is well-known that the military is struggling to recruit and retain soldiers. Having a smaller pool of men and women who are fit enough to serve adds to the strain and creates even more problems for national defense.
