The number of children that are either overweight or obese has been steadily increasing. Obesity can lead to many health related problems later in life and for these reasons it is important to have a healthy and active lifestyle. Based on 2008 data, about 33% of youth and children obese. Obese youth are more likely to be inactive, and inactivity in childhood leads to about a 90% likelihood of inactivity throughout the lifespan.
