Little Gym Encourages Kids To Exercise
Childhood obesity is a growing problem in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 32% of children and adolescents today are obese or overweight.
One way to fight this statistic is to keep children active. Michelle Obama inspired many with her "Let's Move" campaign earlier this year.
