According to the scientific research, obesity has reached epidemic proportions. The World Health Organization (1998) calls it "globesity," and says that weight problems are so common they will soon replace under-nutrition and infectious diseases, as the most significant contributors to poor health. In many ways our industry has failed the overweight and obese. As fitness professionals we will be challenged with finding ways to effectively work with this ever growing population.
