The President is calling you out! The June Fit for Life program features fitness.gov, the health and sports information website of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Oklahoma is currently the 9th most obese state in the nation according to the Center for Disease Control and our obesity rates have been increasing since 2001, so it is time for all of us to focus upon our physical fitness.

Do you think you can rise to the President's Challenge and become more physically fit? The President's Challenge is customized by group, including kids, teens, adults, and seniors. If you are already active, you can participate in the Presidential Champions program, which is designed to challenge those who already have a more active lifestyle. As you work your way through the President's Challenge, you can earn rewards including patches and medals.

If you are an educator or run a business or group, the website features special information that will assist you in implementing a physical activity program. It also includes several helpful tools, such as a body mass index calculator and 10 ideas to get active now, as well as a list of other websites that can give you helpful information concerning fitness.
