This presentation was used when i spoke to officials in MInnesotta. My program is working in several schools throughout the country. For more information please visit: www.superbodysuperbrain.com

1. “ THE NEED OF NEW PHYSICAL PROGRAMS IN SCHOOLS” TO FIGHT AND WIN AGAINST OBESITY AND DIABETES TYPE 2 By Michael Gonzalez-Wallace & Ricardo Aguilar

2. USA vs Minnesota Obesity and Diabetes Type 2

3. Obesity: The Country is facing a crisis USA Vs Minnesota Sixteen percent of children and adolescents ages 6-19 years are overweight. The number of overweight children has doubled and the number of overweight adolescents has tripled since 1980. • Among 2-5 year olds, the prevalence of overweight rose from 7% to 10% between 1994 and 2002. • • Adolescents who are overweight have a 70% chance of being overweight or obese as adults. Between 1986 and 2000, the percentage of individuals with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or greater (i.e., 100 pounds overweight) quadrupled, increasing from about 1 in 200 adults to 1 in 5 In Minnesota , 15-22% of all adolescents are obese, and 13% of children under the age of 5 are overweight. , Overweight and obesity cross gender, racial and socioeconomic lines – although populations of color are disproportionately affected.

4. How Does Obesity Affect Kids’ Health? • Children who are overweight and obese are at increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and various cancers . • Type 2 diabetes –once believed to affect only adults—is now being diagnosed among young people. • Sixty-one percent of overweight 5-10-year-olds already have at least one risk factor for heart disease and 26% have two or more risk factors. • Overweight and obese children are subject to social stigma, bullying and teasing, which frequently manifests itself in poor school performance and mental health issues . How does obesity affect health care costs ? • The average annual health care costs for adults who are obese are 36% higher than for normal weight individuals. Costs are more than twice as high for prescription drugs, 14% higher for outpatient services, and nearly 40% higher for inpatient services. • Among children and adolescents, annual hospital costs related to overweight and obesity have tripled in the past two decades – rising to $127 million during 1997-1999. • Estimates of health care and other costs related to overweight and obesity range from $98 billion to $129 billion Source:

7. Minnesota and its new approach Special Schools

10. USA vs Minnesota Special Schools

11. THE SITUATION IN OUR SCHOOLS 17% of American Students are overweight Students have fewer opportunities To exercise because testing And budget cuts There is no a specific exercise Program for our kids to Improve 4 essential areas: Critical areas for our kids: Cardiovascular Balance Coordination Strength and stamina Reaching the ideal weight Additionally,candy, soft drinks and Unhealthy food are available Everywhere making difficult To eat right Our children need urgently a specific training program Implemented in schools

13. What Can We Do

15. The Brain Muscle Workout Kids need to exercise in a very specific manner to fight against Diabetes and Obesity

16. Obesity A recent study suggests that obesity threatens to decrease life expectancy for future generations of Americans – unless meaningful interventions are made across the social, environmental and policy landscapes that have contributed to the surge in childhood obesity. We need to implement a specific physical Program for our Kids

17. Diabetes Type 2 affect Latinos and Minorities specially Pre-diabetes Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have "pre-diabetes" -- blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. There are 54 million people in the United States who have pre-diabetes. Diabetes Risk Tes t Take our diabetes risk test to see if you are at risk for developing diabetes. Diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. If you are a member of one of these ethnic groups, you need to pay special attention to this test Source:American Diabetes Association

20. Effect of Exercise on Blood Sugar Levels Joslin Medical Publication Lacking insulin With insulin No diabetes

21. New Program: The Brain Muscle Workout for Schools

22. THE BRAIN MUSCLE WORKOUT FOR KIDS @ SCHOOLS

24. The Brain Muscle Workout For Kids 1.-It has been the process of over 8,000 hours of individual training & research 2.-Consists of over 2,000 exercises that will be selected for the specific grade The Brain Muscle Workout Program is not planned to REPLACE but rather INTEGRATE with the current physical educational programs and therefore make our children more effective and efficient to fight against diabetes type 2 an obesity

25. The Brain Muscle Workout How does it work

26. Brain activity is maximum when we perform a balanced and coordinated movement

29. Lets analyze The movement The movement requires precise movement execution. The process of coordinating that movement requires 35 muscles actively involved. This will lead the heart to pump blood to those muscles, improving the cardiovascular system as studies suggest

30. The Brain Muscle Workout Benefits

31. Improve their coordination Studies have shown that when kids improve their Coordination & Balance that will eventually lead to a better reorganization of the brain (Jensen 1998) Balance & Coordination Will make our kids Play better sports and Perform better academically

32. Improve their strength and stamina 1.Movements will lead to a better muscle fiber distribution 2. We will add resistance after few weeks 3. Movements will release endorphines and will create stamina

33. Improve their balance Balance it is very important for the brain, the muscles, the joints and more…. Kids need to develop Spectacular balance when They are growing up

34. Improve their cardiovascular system When you move your arms and legs at the same time makes the heart to pump blood Throughout the whole body. Therefore kids will improve their Cardiovascular system

35. Effective to fight against kids depression Exercise is successful to reduce Serotonin Imbalance (studies showing serotonin imbalance causes depression and swings in mood)…

36. More exercises…..the fact of multitasking is very effective for kids

37. More exercises…..the fact of multitasking is very effective for kids

38. Kids Feedback after trying The Brain Muscle Workout

39. The Process

44. The Brain Muscle Workout In The National Media

45. The Brain Muscle Workout has been featured in the National Media “ No Brain, No Gain” From the gym to the neuroscience lab, Michael Gonzalez-Wallace shows that jocks can be brainy “ The Workout That Does It All”

46. THE BRAIN MUSCLE WORKOUT HAS BEEN FEATURED IN KIDS MEDIA AS WELL Exercise the Muscles of the Body . . and Brain Fitness expert Michael Gonzalez-Wallace has developed a new exercise technique to improve the balance, coordination and academic achievement of young adults and children. The program is called the “Brain-Muscle Workout” by continuously teasing the body with balance and coordination challenges, the workout simultaneously stimulates the brain, muscles and nervous system. The workout progresses through four increasingly difficult phases during a 12-week period, so kids with even the shortest attention spans do not get tired of the routine. Workout Boosts Academic Achievement Fitness expert Michael Gonzalez-Wallace has developed a new exercise technique--the Brain-Muscle Workout--scientifically proven to improve the balance, coordination and academic achievement of young adults and children. The key to the program is tied to mental engagement. By continuously teasing the body with balance and coordination challenges, the workout simultaneously stimulates the brain, muscles, and nervous system. The workout progresses through four increasingly difficult phases during a 12-week period. As such, children do not get sick of the routine
