SUMMARY: Declares the 4th week of April as Every Kid Healthy Week in California and expresses the Legislature’s support for a coordinated approach to resolving childhood obesity and promoting healthy lifestyles. Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:

According to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans report issued by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, children and adolescents benefit from 60 minutes or more of physical activity daily through a combination of aerobic, muscle strengthening, and bone strengthening activities.
- Only 25 percent of United States youth meet recommended levels of aerobic and muscle strengthening physical activity. In response to the health challenges facing California’s adolescents, many health clubs in this state have created programs targeting children and adolescents, and have developed specific programs for families to exercise and live healthier lives together.
