Regular exercise improves your health in a number of ways. It reduces the risk of developing such things as high blood pressure and diabetes and reduces your risk of heart disease. Not only does regular exercise help control weight, it also helps build and maintain healthy bones, joints, and muscles as well as promote psychological well-being. It makes people happy, more efficient and healthy.

Let's prevent that:

Today, nearly 1 in 3 children, teens, and young adults are overweight or obese, a number that continues to grow rapidly. While many initiatives focus on obesity prevention, what is to become of today's generation of overweight adolescents?
A range of studies predict this generation of children will lead a shorter life than their parents, a staggering conclusion considering medical advances. Other research has shown that overweight young adults are less likely to enter college, less likely to graduate from college, less likely to get married, and more likely to occupy a lower socioeconomic group

While time and money focus on prevention efforts educating kids about the importance of healthy eating and an active lifestyle, ask yourself: are these kids changing their habits? A recent Associated Press report evaluated 57 obesity prevention initiatives; 54 of the 57 were found to have no impact on the eating patterns of participants, while the other 3 had no impact whatsoever on the body mass index (BMI) of the children in the program.

Nowadays millions of children, teens, and young adults just like you struggle with their weight. In fact, 1 in 3 are overweight or obese. Poor diet, minimal activity, and lack of motivation contribute to this problem. Why not teach our loved ones how to adopt healthy lifestyles and healthy alternative to video games and tv.

Your school can be one of the few that will change the habits and improve fitness overall fitness of your community!
