Wanted: Active Role Models for Today's Kids

Obesity is a growing problem for kids today. The Harlem Globetrotters have a program to help parents with this problem. 

In 2008, the Globetrotters launched a program called S.P.I.N.—Some Playtime Is Necessary—a program designed to make fitness fun for kids, while promoting and encouraging an active lifestyle. To date, they have worked with thousands of children and adults to make exercise and healthy eating a lifetime goal.

For more information on S.P.I.N. and finding active roll models for your children check out the article in a recent NIH Medline Plus publication.
