NetSweat.com Celebrates 10th Anniversary; Announces Plans to Help People Become More Fit

NetSweat.com provides detailed information on how to choose the healthiest and lowest calorie menu items when eating fast food.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 26, 2005

NetSweat.com – The Internet’s Fitness Resource (http://www.netsweat.com) recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Launched in the summer of 1995, the site has had a simple premise, provide enough information to help one person become more active and thereby avoid having a heart attack.

Given the growth of NetSweat.com, the rapid expansion of the Internet as a whole, and the increased access to health and fitness information, helping Americans become more fit should have been an easily attainable goal. Statistics, however, tell a different story.

“When we looked at the numbers, it quickly became apparent that there was huge disconnect between what web sites, such as ours, were trying to accomplish and what the American public was actually doing”, said Charles Rotblut, publisher of NetSweat.com. “According to a recent article in Parade Magazine, 67% of American men are overweight. In our opinion, this was a blunt statement that, as a whole, fitness and diet web sites are not winning the battle against bulging waistlines”.

NetSweat.com is responding to this disturbing trend with a renewed focus on helping people become more active and lose weight. As part of this focus, NetSweat.com is adding new features to give people the ability to follow healthier lifestyles without having to make a radical changes. Two of these new features are:

*The NetSweat Fitness Blog: Weekly tips on exercise and diet for people with busy lifestyles. Rather than focusing on some ideal workout program or diet, this blog provides easy to follow exercise advice and weight loss tips that can be quickly incorporated into any lifestyle.

*Fast Food Nutrition: Thanks to changes over the past few years, it is now possible to eat a relatively healthy meal at fast food restaurants. The key is to make the right menu choices. NetSweat.com explains what the choices should be and provides recommendations for some of the most popular chains.

“Although these may appear to be modest efforts, we are hopeful that they will have a material impact”, says Rotblut. “In our opinion, if people see that eating a proper diet and getting exercise does not require a massive change in lifestyle, they are more likely to begin to make changes. Even seemingly small changes, as opting for grilled over fried foods, can have a long-term impact on a person’s health”.
