"Four years on from our first 'Couch Kids' report into childhood obesity and children still aren't getting the diet or exercise they need. Our new report shows that despite efforts to get kids more active, a disturbingly high number of young people across the UK aren't reaching the target of 60 minutes physical activity each day. In England for example, 15% of boys and 19% of girls aren't even achieving 30 minutes a day. Urgent action is needed to ensure that children are able to make healthy choices, this action must involve:* raising awareness of the importance of physical activity
* providing a range of opportunities to get active
* consideration of the barriers to getting active, and
* reducing health inequalities"
