Dear Parents         

            If you could wave a magic wand over the heads of your kids and immunize them against obesity for a lifetime, would you do it? Would you do it for all the kids who attend your kid’s school? How about all the kids in the school district?

            Well, it’s not quite as simple as waving a magic wand. But according to a newly released book entitled Operation Pull Your Own Weight: A Radically Simple Solution to Childhood Obesity, it’s as simple as helping your kids learn how to do pull ups.

Here’s How Simple It Is…

            In the words of former physical educator Rick Osbourne who wrote the book, “Kids who can do pull ups are never obese. And, by using a simple height adjustable pull up bar and a technique called leg assisted pull ups (jumping and pulling at the same time), almost all kids can learn to do pull ups. And finally, if these first two points are true, then it's easy to see that almost all kids can learn to immunize themselves against obesity for a lifetime by learning how, and maintaining the ability to do pull ups. It’s that simple.”

Pros and Cons

            There are pros and cons. The pros include the fact that the concpet is simple, understandable, infinitely measurable, documentable, and extremely cost effective…anyone can afford it. The cons include the fact that most kids hate doing pull ups. So how do you motivate kids to pull their own weight when they hate doing the exercise?

Here’s What Kids Hate

            Now that’s where the book comes in. Osbourne counsels, you must understand that kids don't hate pull ups. It’s failing in front of their friends and embarrassing themselves that they hate. Since a high percentage of kids these days fail on the pull up bar, they’ve effectively learned to hate pull ups.

Success Breed Success

            On the other hand create a situation where kids succeed day after day, week after week, month after month in front of their friends and guess what happens to their perception of pull ups. “The fact is when I was coordinating the PYOW program at Jefferson Elementary School in Davenport, IA several years back, we had a school full of kids who would pay you for the opportunity to get in the pull up bar, tackle a difficult task like pull ups, and succeed in front of their friends,” Osbourne said. “These kids learned to love doing pull ups because they were so successful in public.”
