According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over the past 30 years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased sharply for both adults and children. Between 1976-1980 and 2003-2004, the prevalence of obesity among adults aged 20-74 years increased from 15.0% to 32.9%.

This increase is not limited to adults. Among young people, the prevalence of overweight increased from 5.0% to 13.9% for those aged 2-5 years, 6.5% to 18.8% for those aged 6-11 years, and 5.0% to 17.4% for those aged 12-19 years.

As we know, being overweight and obese raises many health concerns and diseases like, hypertension, high cholesterol, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis and many others.

Obesity is not just an American problem, but a growing international dilemma. As we spend more time in front of the television and countless hours sitting in front of our computer, we spend less time exercising and being active.

ActiveVibe's goal is to get people moving. We want people to get off that couch, chair or whatever they sit on and get them to become more active. Go outside and throw a baseball or football with your child or take an after dinner walk with friends. Whatever it is that gets you moving, we highly encourage it.

ActiveVibe is not just another web site. We are real people trying to help solve a real problem. We know how hard it is to get started and we know how harder it is to stay motivated once you have gotten started. We understand that we only have limited hours in the day and we need to balance between work, family and friends. We understand the difficulties of starting an exercise program and sticking with it. We've been through it just like many of you, but we were fortunate enough to have good people supporting us.

We want to support you. We are here to help you get motivated and help you stay motivated. ActiveVibe is not just a web site. We are a community that supports each other and helps each other get back up when we fall off.

ActiveVibe is here to help you and everyone around you to get healthy, stay healthy and live a better quality of life. We encourage you to be a part of ActiveVibe and lets Get Moving together!
