The Bethany YMCA is offering a free anti-obesity program to teach children to become health conscious at an early age.  The eight week program, is for children 8-12 years old.  It's free and open to all children.  Each class will be 45 minutes and participants will learn about exercising, setting health goals, reading nutrition labels, eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking low-fat milk and limiting their screen time to no more than two hours per day. 

In 2009, Oklahoma was ranked the sixth-most obese state in the nation for adults.  The state has the 33rd highest rate for overweight children ages 10-17. 

Please note that children do not have to be obese to participate in this program.  The current session is closed.  Please watch this site for information about the next session.
