WELCOME TO THE SOKS HEALTHY FAMILIES TEAM!
* A recent projection (found in USA Today) warns that 42% of Americans may end up obese by 2030 (up from 36% in 2010). Experts from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that medical related costs of obesity may be as high as $147 billion a year.
Tools to Help you and your Family Develop Heathy Lifestyles

An exercise booklet includes an overview of healthy exercise, stretching information, fitness outlines, and activities for the seven sports skills.
