Structured Exercise Program And Health Education To Prevent Childhood Obesity
The mission of Accept The Challenge is to help prevent childhood obesity by empowering youth with accurate nutrition and exercise knowledge by teaching them how to apply this knowledge to eat healthier, build muscle, increase energy, and lose weight. Our signature program, Operation Tone-Up®, is a virtual blended learning program that brings daily nutrition and exercise lessons into any home or classroom. No extra materials are needed. In addition to structured aerobic exercise routines, children learn about the top six nutrients, how to read nutrition facts labels, and proper exercise form. The program does all the teaching, comes in English and Spanish, and includes closed captioning in both languages. A former pro-am boxing coach, Tony Lamka founded Accept The Challenge to address health inequities in schools and to prevent childhood obesity and diabetes.
