clouds, the weight loss forum is set up for members to help each other lose weight. to offer support and advice. many of the members here have physical problems that limit the amount of exercise they can get. the same for the kids. i don't mean to speak for bizi, but i think that is what she meant.

i do agree that in many schools the kids don't get the exercise they need.

i can't see where making the kids walk to school or standing all day is the answer.

i do see where a difference is being made. in the school lunches. very healthy choices. PE or athletics is manadatory year round in most districts, not just 1 sememster.

but being active and eating healthy is not just up to the schools. it has to start at home. i think this thread is great place to share some ideas. what can we do to help the kids of our communities? i know what i do...but i am in a different situation. i own a health club. we have classes for kids. we lowered the age that kids can workout. (they have to go through instruction with a trainer first. )
