Why Americans are getting on the move...

The eating and physical activity patterns of many Americans have made us the most overweight nation in the world. More than 60% of American adults do not get the recommended 30 minutes of physical activity a day, and 25% of American adults aren’t physically active at all. More than 120 million Americans — 64.5% of the adult population — are overweight; nearly 59 million, or 31%, are obese.
