Shannon Miller (Shannon Miller Lifestyle) and Lisa Gable (Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation) share ideas for avoiding childhood obesity on Lifetime Television’s The Balance Act!
Miller states, “All kids yearn for a sense of control over their lives. So kids naturally feel energized when they realize that they have personal control over their eating and exercise habits. I look to the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation and ‘nPLAY as a resource to teach children these basics of healthy living—calories in and calories out—and inspire them to live in this balanced way.”
Shannon Miller Lifestyle is a Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation Partner (http://www.healthyweightcommit.org/supporters/partners/), and Miller is on the Board of Governors for ‘nPLAY (http://nplayfoundation.org/index.php/athletes/gymnastics/), along with other athlete supporters such as Grant Hill, Jennie Finch, Evander Holyfield, Summer Sanders, and Johnny Weir.
