Heywood 500 Program and Morning Walk & Talk: What is it?
The percentage of overweight youth has more than tripled in the past 25 years partially due to increased interest in sedentary activities such as television, computers, and video games. A reduction in physical activity as well as an increase in caloric intake has contributed to an obesity epidemic.
The Heywood 500 and Walk & Talk are programs developed to address activity levels of youth
and to help kids learn that running and walking can lead to a healthier lifestyle.
