  2. “Is fast food the main cause of Obesity?” By: Rafael Torres

  3. Causes of Obesity • Inactive Lifestyle – lack of exercise • Unhealthy foods – oversized food portions • Disease - bed ridden • Environment – lack of sidewalks & safe places for recreation. • Genetics – genes have a strong influence on a persons weight • Medicines – slows the rate at which the body burns calories

  4. Effects of Obesity • Social discrimination, low self esteem, thoughts of suicide • Denied from jobs • Poor College Attendance • Depression

  5. Statistics • Obesity rates among children in the U.S have doubled since 1980 & have tripled for adolescents • 15% of children age 6-19 are considered overweight • Over 60% of adults are overweight or obese • More than 1/3 of the U.S is obese

  6. Prevention • Adolescents – role model • Encourage physical activity • Work to change eating habits & activity levels • Purchase healthier foods • De-emphasize body shape & weight • Reduce screen time – television & computers

  7. Transition • Because I researched Obesity, I decided to design an obstacle course to show people that exercising can be enjoyable yet beneficial.

  8. Product • I designed an exercise course for my product. I wanted to show other people obesity can be prevented through exercising, a fun & beneficial way to lose weight.

  9. Product Steps: • Find a mentor • Discuss options for product • Designed an obstacle course • Contact volunteers to perform the obstacle course • Decide on a location where I can set up the course

  10. Product • Time management • Getting people to follow through with coming out to participate in the course • Finding a good location • Weather • Coach G’s schedule

  11. Johnston united red • 15-16 year olds • They really enjoyed my lesson plan and exercises. • Always there • Very obedient • They put a lot of effort and helped me out a lot

  12. Volunteers • Ages 16-18 • Ran a lot more than the younger team • Very intense workouts • Workouts were a lot longer • Very whiny

  13. Mentor • Thomas Gruhalla – a varsity boys and jv girls soccer coach here at Clayton High School. • Over these few weeks after working with coach Gruhalla, he helped me to view obesity from a different perspective. He helped me gain the knowledge I needed in order to accomplish my product.

  14. Challenges and Successes • My biggest challenge throughout this project was time management • I struggled with how to organize my product • I succeeded with completing my website and project as a whole • I succeeded in showing others a fun & beneficial way to exercise

  15. What I learned • I learned overall that time management can be difficult at times, so procrastination is not the right route to take. • Obesity can be helped with the right attitude and mindset. • I love to help and benefit others in a positive way
