America on the Move Week at the YMCA – September 20-27
America On the Move Week with the YMCA is all about the small changes we can make in our habits that add up to big benefits for long-term health. Research from America On the Move Foundation has shown that incorporating healthier behavior into our daily routines at home, work and school does make a difference. More specifically, research shows that achieving energy balance—energy in (food and drink) vs. energy out (physical activity) is an effective approach to healthy weight management. Adding just 2,000 extra steps and eating 100 fewer calories each day are enough to help most Americans prevent the current average annual weight gain of 1-2 pounds.
Join us at your branch the week of Sept. 20-27, 2008 and start learning how small chances can lead to a big success. Meanwhile, download these resources to help you get started.
