Resolving the childhood obesity dilemma is not as complicated as it's been made out to be according to a former Physical Educator. In the words of Rick Osbourne, "Any coach will agree that kids who can do pull ups are never obese, and kids who are obese can never do pull ups. That being the case, by starting them young, using a height adujstable bar in conjunction with a strategy called leg assisted pull ups, almost any kid can learn to do pull ups. And in the process they'll effectively imminize themselves against obesity for a lifetime, as long as they maintain the ability to pull their own weight. It's about that simple."

This book is a practical, boots on the ground road map written for educators who are tired of all the talk, and who are biting at the bit to take preventative action against childhood obesity The need is blatantly obvious to anyone who spends any time in public, the local school playground, grocery store, mall, or restaurant, etc. More specifically, one third of Americans are of normal weight, a third are overweight, and another third are obese (per the US Center for Disease Control). The demand for a practical solution is no secret to anyone. This book addresses the problem by showing action oriented educators how easy it can be to help kids arm themselves with the tools they need to fend off America's # 1 health threat - obesity - for life by learning to perform one very simple task, and maintaining the ability for life.

"The key to any fitness program is motivation, and kids are no exception to the rule. Rick and Pam Osbourne's new book, Strong at Everything, Weak at Nothing offers parents and educators a strategy around which their kids can transform good intentions into real live action when it comes to eating better, exercising more, and naturally immunizing themselves against obesity for life. Taken seriously, this strategy could transform the USA from the bottom up and underwrite preventative health care in the 21st century."
