The Challenge:

The Average American adult is gaining 1-3 pounds each year, and some people even more. (Source: America on the MoveTM Quick Start Guide)

Physical inactivity is a cause of 25,000 deaths per year in New York State. (Source: Move for Life!)

"...poor eating habits and inactivity are on the verge of surpassing tobacco use as the leading cause of preventable death in America..."(Source: Health & Human Services Secretary, Tommy G. Thompson)




  


The Solution:

America on the MoveTM is a research based program that is based on energy balance. We can stop weight gain by creating a balance between the amount of food consumed throughout the day and the amount of activity engaged in. We need to move more and eat less! These 2 small changes can make a huge difference in our health.

Walk an extra 2000 steps (equivalent of about 1 mile) per day.

Eat 100 fewer calories per day.

Small Changes = Big Results
