E-Articles - An Old Coach Offers a Simple Solution to Childhood Obesity
Obesity is a huge and growing problem in America and around the world. And the childhood edition of this problem is a 21st century tragedy that’s not only costing our nation billions of dollars, but it’s costing millions of kids their confidence, their self esteem, their willingness to try something new in public for fear of failure, and consequently their capacity to live full and productive l

this old coach (he prefers to remain anonymous, and back in the shadows), “I taught physical education for most of my adult life and during that time I made the following observation. I noticed that kids who could perform pull-ups were never obese,” he said. “And kids who were obese could never perform pull-ups. Pull-ups and obesity are mutually exclusive, and are never found in the same kids,”

Without Pills, Shots, or Magic Diets
The old coach’s conclusion was that if you start ‘em young, before they’ve had a chance to pick up much weight, teach them the ability to perform pull-ups, and teach them to never lose that ability, you can immunize kids against obesity for a lifetime, without pills, shots, magic diets, or much in the way of expense. “The more

When they hit 12 repetitions you raise the bar one inch and they begin the 8-12 process all over again. This strategy allows a child to make a little progress every time he or she works out, and after several weeks they learn to EXPECT TO SUCCEED IN PUBLIC, which in turn teaches
