The Surgeon General says 50% of U.S. children, ages 12-21, don't regularly participate in rigorous physical activity. Childhood obesity affects 16% of 6-19 year olds. Rates are higher for some children of color. (graphics credit: World Health Organization)
It's true that too many kids are sedentary and don't expend enough energy for health. But, if you love being fit and active yourself then YOU can help inspire an at-risk child to follow your lead.
WalkKids (tm), a charitable leg of Walktopia, provides training for teens, adults, families and groups who know the importance of staying active and want to help those at-risk for inactivity and unhealthy weight.
