Fit City Chandler, rock climbing, healthy food tasting, hands- on activities, and vendors providing health education and plenty of give-a ways. “With over 9 million overweight or obese 6-19 years old


in the US, we are on a mission to educate and encourage a healthy lifestyle,” says Jyl Steinback, Executive Director of Shape Up US, Inc. “We strive to work with mind, body and emotion to achieve wellness. The emotional component is often missing from the formula, so we provide unique sup- port in that area, with an emphasis on using all five senses to teach children. We are bringing art, music and physical education back into the classroom integrating through core curriculum science, social studies, math and language arts. It’s such an exciting way to learn!” Expected participants include NFL alumni, Olympic


Gold Medalist Amanda Borden, the Arizona Mascots, Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants, Jason Christopher and Mary Heitmeyer from Healthy U, a new TV show launching live at the event.


Shape Up Arizona runs from 8 am to Noon on Saturday, Oc- tober 16 at the Tumbleweed Park, 2250 S. McQueen Road, in Chandler. For more information, visit ShapeUpUs.org or phone 602-996-6300. See ad on page 25.
