In recent information released by The Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than 40.5% of all males were classified as over weight in 2005. Of these, almost 18% were classified as obese. Women fared a little better, with 17.5% over weight and 15% obese. These alarming figures showed that the problem of weight gain increased with age.

This is hardly a surprising trend, given the busy lives of most people. In many families, both parents work and adults without children work long hours in high-pressure careers. This makes finding time for visits to the gym or regular exercise outside of the home very difficult.

LFS understands both the busy lifestyle of modern families as well as the importance of daily exercise. “People need to exercise for at least 20 minutes each day to maintain good health” says Frank Mikuletic of LFS. “Being overweight is closely related to lack of exercise and a poor diet” Being overweight greatly increases the risk of coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers”

LFS has an extensive choice of exercise equipment that is designed for people with a busy lifestyle. LFS also offers customers a free health & lifestyle assessment, so that each individual can choose equipment that suits their circumstances and individual requirements. “We understand that exercise is important to all age groups.
