FIT Kids Act Targets Obesity

Fitness Integrated with Teaching Kids Act (FIT Kids)

American Heart Association notes, “Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions, increasing our children’s risk of cardiovascular disease. Regular physical activity is critical to fighting back and ensuring a brighter, healthier future. The Fitness Integrated with Teaching Kids Act (FIT Kids) would amend the No Child Left Behind Act to help prioritize quality physical education in our schools. Join in our effort to urge Congress to pass this legislation to provide more Physical Education for our kids and help them lead healthier lives." It's time to move on this!
