Get A Movin: Take Control of Your Family's Health
Presented by Neal I. Pire, MA, CSCS
We are in the worst shape ever. Adults and kids alike are getting fatter, and along with the excess weight have come a myriad of diseases and conditions that, perhaps, we could have staved off if only we had controlled our weight. And it's NOT because we are "super-sizing" or making poor food choices. Diseases like "adult-onset" diabetes, for example, are now common in children and teens, and it is directly related to our kids' lack of physical activity. Learn why we all must get moving: Neal Pire will teach you how to lead a happy, healthy and active lifestyle.
