GET ACTIVE UTAH

Obesity is an epidemic facing millions of Americans and is increasing in drastic numbers each year.  The number of Utahns battling obesity doubled from 10 percent in 1989 to over 20 percent in 2003.  Heart disease has become the number one killer in Utah and last year taxpayers spent $167 per person in medical costs related to obesity.  As a state, we can do better!  That's why the Utah Summer Games and the Check Your Health Partners (IHC, KUTV2 and Utah Department of Health) have created the "Get Active Utah!" Fitness Challenge.  Regular exercise, like walking, swimming and cycling is proven to help reduce heart disease, increase weight loss, lead to better mental health and ultimately, stronger communities.  To find out more visit the links below:
