Obesity is a problem that is effecting 32.9% of Americans age 20-74 in the United States and almost 29% of Missourians are obese. Being overweight leads to many health complications such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, decreased energy and risk of depression. There are many factors that may contribute to obesity such as genetics, poor eating habits and low levels of physical activity. It is recommended that the average person get at least 30 minutes of vigorous physical activity per day that increases heart rate. Such activity would include bike riding, walking/jogging, jumping rope and playing outdoor sports. The Van Buren Youth and Community Center offers a fully equipped fitness center, an exercise program for clients with arthritis, a walking program and after school youth programs to increase physical activity in our youth.
