"A new international partnership promoting the benefits of physical activity and exercise has a call-to-action for all Americans: be a physically active citizen...Now there is real success.
ACSM, CELAFISCS, and Agita Mundo have gained recognition for their contributions in public health for programs in support of physical activity promotion. Each organization recommends at least 150 minutes of physical activity be accumulated each week for health, which can be easily accomplished in 30 minutes/day, five days/week."
You get "recognition" points for "recommending" stuff.
"This year, World Day for Physical Activity will take place April 6, with additional events occurring through the first 10 days of the month. The theme centers on "active neighborhoods building health." ACSM will build awareness of community-based opportunities for physical activity among its members and networks.Mere lipstick on the pig.
ACSM will work in conjunction with Agita Mundo to develop resources for individuals and communities to promote active citizenry that is ecologically and economically responsible. An "active citizen," according to the two organizations, will commit to simple lifestyle changes that incorporate physical activity, such as riding your bike to work and utilizing walking as a primary mode of transportation whenever possible."
As if there are not enough organizations, media reports, etc., exhorting people to be active.
All without success.
Until people can have a real opportunity to experience the results of being fatsos without the rest of us paying for their rescue, there will be absolutely no progress in dealing with this matter.
Period.
