Get Off the Couch

Men! It's time to get up, get moving, and get healthy for a better future. According to the Center for Disease Control, there are over 150 million men in the U.S., and one third of them are obese, leading a large percentage of them to struggle with chronic lower respiratory diseases, diabetes, and heart disease. Steve Reynolds, the "Anti-Fat Pastor," writes from the perspective of a pastor/coach who has sat where you are likely sitting: on the couch living a sedentary life. "My wake-up call came when my health started to deteriorate to the point where I was slowly killing myself," he writes. He went to the Bible and learned how to have a Bod4God lifestyle, and the result was losing an incredible 120 pounds!
