Alarming Stats About American Kid's Fitness

According to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, here is the sad news for our kids:

--1 out of every 4 children are considered overweight

--2/3 of American children ages 6 to 17 cannot pass a basic fitness test and 40% of children ages 5 to 8 show at least one risk factor for heart disease (increased blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle)

--3 out of 4 children are at risk for developing heart disease later in life

THE GOOD NEWS? WE CAN START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT TODAY! ENCOURAGE YOUR KIDS TO GET ACTIVE EVERY DAY DOING SOMETHING THEY ENJOY, WHETHER ITS SPORTS OR SOME OTHER ACTIVITY. ADULTS MUST LEAD THE WAY AND GET ACTIVE THEMSELVES!
