Gukumatz Martial Arts "Fit MI 2008" Team Participates!

(excerpt from Fit MI 2008 web site)  Michigan communities share the health problems characteristic of the world’s developed countries. The severity of the problem we face is serious: the U.S. CDC and authorities in other countries recently added physical activity to the recommended food pyramid. Physical activity is a key strategy in halting the epidemic of obesity.

The Michigan Fitness Foundation in 2003 stated that “Physical inactivity in Michigan adults cost almost $8.9 billion in 2002 or $1,175 for each adult resident” - today it probably approximates $1,500 in terms of direct health costs, lost wages and lost productivity.
 

Our Goals

	Increased physical activity, leading to better health among participants.
	Serve as a reliable clearing house for health-related information.
	Create an inspiring, easy-to-use “tool kit” for individuals and groups that encourages fitness through walking.
	Track fitness information and results for other users, making overall results available to members and the general public.
	Encourage community collaboration among already existing health-related programs and organizations.
	Create an evaluation process to ensure the effectiveness of the program.
	Verify that this program can be reproduced in other communities, and obtain funding from a variety of sources
