Most of you have probably heard of Beachbody or have seen one of their infomercials for P90X(R), Insanity(R), or Slim in 6(R), or one of their many other weight loss and home fitness programs. The Beachbody Team has set out to end the trend towards obesity in America and is tackling it by providing a variety of solutions to people’s exercise and diet needs. They offer home fitness programs of several types and for many different skill levels, each designed to help the user improve their level of fitness and health.

Your probably recognize the connection between obesity and medical problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. In America today, obesity is one of our deadliest contributors to poor health, and threatens our quality of life.

Diabetes, often associated with obesity is not linked only to obesity and it is important to know that you could be at risk without realizing it. According to the American Diabetes Association, “Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Millions of Americans have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and many more are unaware they are at high risk. Some groups have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes than others. Type 2 diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, as well as the aged population.” Please visit the ADA for more information.

The development of Kathy Smith’s project:YOU! Type2 was completed “in conjunction with doctors, certified diabetes educators, and the American Diabetes Association” according to its promotion on the Beachbody website. (See Video Link Below) The program includes a workout guide and exercise DVDs, a cookbook, mix and match meal cards, and more, all centered on helping people with Type 2 Diabetes.

This is a guide to a lifestyle change designed to improve your health and help you to battle the odds when it comes to type 2 diabetes. It has been designed with the combined influences of experts in the field of fitness and diabetes. This program is not just another home fitness program.

A second product offered through Beachbody may provide an additional benefit to diabetic sufferers. While many weight loss or meal replacement shakes on the market today can boost the sugar content in the user and be unsafe for people suffering from diabetes, a new product called Shakeology(R) has shown that it helps to control the glycemic index.

Shakeology(R) is only available through Independent Team Beachbody Coaches like Coach BellyShrinker and Fitness Coach Jim who can also help connect you with Kathy Smith’s project:YOU! Type2.

See your doctor regularly and get checked for any possible health conditions such as diabetes, and check with your doctor before starting any fitness or diet program.The people with Team Beachbody, and the coaches like Coach BellyShrinker care about your health.
