We've been wrestling with the childhood obesity epidemic for a decade now and the problem has only grown worse. Finally, a practical minded P.E. teacher offers something that's been proven to work.
July 23, 2007 (Press Release) --
In his new book, Operation Pull Your Own Weight: A Radically Simple Solution to Childhood Obesity former teacher, coach, and writer Rick Osbourne suggests that the experts have spent billions searching for a solution that’s been hiding in plain sight for decades. In Osbourne’s words, “There’s not a P.E. teacher in the country who’d take issue with the claim that kids who can do pull ups are NEVER OBESE. That being the case, the simple act of teaching kids how to do pull ups, and inspiring them to maintain that ability, effectively immunizes them against obesity for a lifetime.”
Four Years of Documented Success
The new book reflects Osbourne’s four year experience at Jefferson Elementary School in Davenport IA where he initially designed, organized, and oversaw the strategy that he now describes in his book. The result of that four years worth of experience was a school full of kids who not only could do pull ups, but a school full of kid who learned to enjoy tackling this difficult task and mastering it (through regular work, eating right, getting sufficient rest, and avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and drugs) publicly, in front of their peers.
“Through OPYOW Jefferson School students learned to expect success instead of expecting failure in a very hands-on way,” Osbourne said. “And that lesson alone was worth its weight in gold to many a student’s future.”
Small But Regular Chunks of Success
A major feature of the OPYOW strategy is that progress is achieved in very small, but regular and visible chunks. “Kids today expect a quick return on their investments,” said Dr. Larry Woods. “And if they invest time and effort, a little documented success almost every time they work out, goes a long way towards inspiring, and motivating them to come back and do it again and again. In OPYOW kids experience success in front of their peers almost every time they participate. Weeks and months of public success causes kids look forward to their next opportunity to get on the pull up bar. It’s truly amazing.”
