The facts are clear. 1 out of every 3 Americans is overweight and that number is rising-700 million adults are predicted to be overweight by 2015. It is proven that even if a person is active, if they constantly sit around doing nothing, they are putting themselves at risk for health issues. The three main times in which people are sedentary are while commuting, sitting in front of a computer, and while watching television. Our goal is to target television junkies and encourage them to move during times that would otherwise be spent sedentarily, thus utilizing their time instead of wasting it.
