Q What's to Gain? Module 5 highlighted many benefits of physical activity...as well as the simple fact that most Americans do not engage in enough physical activity to experience those benefits. Specifically, this chapter pointed out that: • the current generation of children in the US is the first that will have a lower life expectancy than their parents • a child born in the year 2000 has a 1 in 3 chance of developing diabetes • People who develop obesity or diabetes have a lowered life-expectancy of 15-20 years What are your thoughts on these statistics? Were you already aware of them? Do you find this information motivational in terms of adopting physical activity? Are there additional benefits of leading a physically active lifestyle that you have experienced or hope to experience when you become more active?
