Let's Move!

First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move program http://www.letsmove.gov/ is a fabulous resource for children and adults.  You will find ways to improve your fitness, learn how to eat better, and find out how to get involved with your community to make improvements for our society at large.

Hats off to the First Lady for bringing the childhood obesity (and adult obesity) epidemic to the public's attention. Statistics indicate that the epidemic may have, at last, peaked at around 36 percent. That's 36 percent of adult Americans are obese.  If that number doesn't stagger you, 69 percent of Americans are overweight. . .
