From EMax Health?..
Many Americans are aware of the current obesity epidemic in the nation. A troublesome component of the epidemic is the alarming increase in childhood obesity. The epidemic has attracted the interest of a number of advocates for childhood health.
Len Saunders, a physical education teacher in New Jersey, has developed an annual event to combat the problem. Tomorrow, October 4, marks the fourth year of an event that he has promoted: the annual Exercise US (or Exercise United States day). Beginning at 8:00 am (EST.), schools in New Jersey will exercise from 8:00 ? 8:15 a.m. When their prearranged time slot is over, schools in New York will begin their prepared exercise session from 8:15 ? 8:30 am. Once an organized 15-minute time allotment ends, another location will pick up where the last school or organization left off. This pattern will continue for 10 hours until the last time slot is filled at 3:00 pm (PST.). Saunders notes that schools have been signing up for their 15 minute time slots since early May.
US News & World Report referred to the Exercise US program with this blurb: ?In a unique attempt to fight childhood obesity and cuts being made to school physical education programs, elementary, middle, and high schools from New York to Hawaii and Alaska have signed on to a newfangled ?fitness relay? event.? You might check to see if any time slots are still available at this late date. If so, you might want to jump on the bandwagon and contact a local school or youth organization. Alternatively, try to organize a local event addressing obesity at some future date.
