Kindergarten, third-, fifth- and ninth-grade students will have their BMI taken, which will be turned into the Ohio Department of Health to track overweight and obese children.
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.

At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
