MoveIt4.org is a fresh, new website providing teenagers with valuable information, tools and interaction to encourage them to become more active and take more responsibility for their own health and nutrition. This is an extremely timely introduction as First Lady Michelle Obama recently announced her new ‘Let’s Move’ campaign, combating the epidemic of childhood obesity.
“We are providing real fitness and health tools and information, presented for teens, plus their parents, teachers and coaches,” said Marty Matthews, MoveIt4.org’s Director. “We want them to understand why and how to have much better fitness and vitality, so they can have great interaction and fun with other teens, while at the same time improving their health.
