According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report
Physical Activity Fundamental to Preventing Disease,

"Encouraging more activity can be as simple as establishing walking programs
at schools, work sites and in the community. Some communities have an
existing infrastructure that supports physical activity, such as sidewalks
and bicycle trails, and worksites, schools, and shopping areas in close
proximity to residential areas. In many other areas, such community
amenities need to be developed to foster walking, cycling, and other types
of exercise as a regular part of daily activity."

 Being physically active helps combat problems that can result from a
sedentary lifestyle, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

This Holiday Season get off your "fatty-acids" and join me "Come on outside
and play!"
