"I'm glad I did the program. I feel happy that I did it 'cause usually I'm a coach potato, sit down, watch soap operas, watch talk shows, eat junk, go to the corner store, buy candy, buy chips, buy candy bars, buy cookies, buy ice cream. Now I'm not like that no more. Now my mother takes me to Jamaica Pond, and we do a ten minute walk around, or walking with my mom to the mall, or cleaning the house, or just being in the park with Lillian and her sister, running around playing tag." |

BOYS SPORTNUT 
Using the model of the Girls Fitness and Nutrition Program, Project HEALTH created a parallel program for preadolescent boys who are overweight or inactive. The children participate in a variety of fitness activities, explore improved nutrition, and benefit from both one-on-one mentoring and peer support as they work to change lifestyle habits. In addition, the program hosts field trips intended to expose the children to adult role models in collegiate and professional athletics.
