Physical fitness has been a heavy topic for the past decade, especially in America. Obesity is a major problem in America, and it will continue to be a problem unless the individual starts making changes. Many articles and essays have been written about the best way to get physically fit and what diet to go on. This topic affects all ages and is pursued by billions. There is no one answer for all this, yet some are better than others. Ed Davis wrote an informative yet lighthearted article in the New Pittsburgh Courier. One of his opening statements is, “Habitual exercisers are created, not born” (Davis 7). This statement is severely overlooked. The meaning behind this is important. It means that no one is born a hard worker, there is no easy way to get anything. Everyone has to work for all the things they achieve, and most do not have it naturally. In fitness, most people want it to come easy, and don’t want to have to put in the hard work for the results they want. This brings readers to a hard reality of what they have to do in order to get to their goal.
