Only 8 percent of schools meet the national exercise requirements and 29 percent of kids take no phys ed at all. Here's how to fix the obesity trend in youngins.

	Focus on 1st graders: Hook them on exercise early on; schedule vigorous play throughout the early grades.
	Weight Lifting: It burns calories, changes bodies, and builds confidence. Make strength training available to overweight kids and they will be able to enjoy other athletic activities.
	Find Experts: Recruit experts to speak and participate with kids at school.
	Gym = Health Club: Organize a fitness club at the school and teach kids about how the activities affect their bodies. Kids like variety and will exercise with a sense of purpose.
	Parent-Teacher Conference: Schools won't change unless parents get involved and push for change.
	Lose 10 Pounds: Lead by example and drop a few yourself.
