Statistics state that over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled and today nearly one in three children- one half of black & Latino children-are overweight or obese. As a result, it is predicted that one-third of all children born after 1999 will suffer from diabetes at some point in their lives; many others will face chronic obesity-related health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer and asthma.

According to a recent study, the health care cost of obesity-related diseases cost about $147 billion per yr. U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin says that the current generation could be on track to have a shorter lifespan than their parents.

However, aka, Dr. Dancer Joey L. Dowdy original choreographer for such bands as Backstreet Boys, Take - five & No Mercy, creator of World Dance Groove ™, and ABC & K-TLA television fitness motivator. Says,” If we all work together we will beat this epidemic and no longer live our lives as victims, but through implementing healthier lifestyle changes, we can strike back and gain the victory."

You can never be too young, or old; it’s never too late, so stretch those limbs and Get Up & Groove Yourself Into Shape.”

Recently More Than A Thousand Kid's rushed to The Stage for Joey's Get Up & Groove Fitness workout during The Los Angeles Unified School District National Nutrition Month Health Fair entitled, “Nutrition from The Ground Up ®” A-Z Garden Bar, an event held at Edison Elementary in Glendale California March 4 2010.

This well received annual event is designed to give kids and teachers more awareness (through crafty & creative display booths) about the unique range of fruits and vegetables available, as well as show them how they can incorporate these healthier options into their daily teaching and eating plans.

Then after enjoying all those healthy delicious treats they chasse` (chased) on over to the Stage for the main course and highlight, “Joey L. Dowdy’s Get Up & Groove” Dance Work Out. Where there Joey focused on the benefits of Physical Activity through dance, his fun, easy to follow, high energy dance moves showed them how “Cardio Does A Body.” How you might ask? Here are a few examples.
   *It Give You More Energy
   *Speeds Up Your Metabolism
   *Burns Calories
   *Detoxifies Your Body
   *Makes Your Smile

Joey's cool grooves and clever thought provoking moves always makes quite an impression by leaving a positive impact on all those who experience it.

Infact, it is so infectious, that it is extremely difficult for spectators to just sit and watch without being tempted to “Get Up & Try Shaking It Like A Salt Shaker for Themselves."

Which were the results, not only did the kid’s have a blast working up a sweat, moving, grooving, and expressing themselves, it motivated their teachers as well to hop on the Get Up & Groove train.

It goes to show you that healthy eating & enjoyable exercise can fit like a glove. Joey says, "It’s all good and definitely steps in the right direction to Live Your Best by Training Your Best."™
