RESOLUTION 
Urging the president to issue a proclamation declaring a 
Winter Outdoors Month to call attention to the need 
for all people to exercise and to get outdoors in the 
winter. 
Whereas three out of five Americans are overweight and 59 
million are obese; 
Whereas, in the past 10 years, obesity rates in the United 
States have increased by more than 60 percent; 
Whereas there are 3 times as many overweight adolescents in 
the United States as there were 30 years ago; 
Whereas the National Institute on Aging reported in 2005 
that the average life span is about to drop for the first 
time, and obesity is the culprit;
•HRES 557 IH 
Whereas 40 percent of adults in the United States do not 
participate in any leisure time activity; 
Whereas among children and adolescents, annual hospital 
costs related to obesity top $127 million; 
Whereas an April 2003 study conducted by the National As-
sociation for Sport and Physical Education found that 95 
percent of parents think that regular daily physical activ-
ity helps children do better academically; 
Whereas alpine skiing and snowboarding are great forms of 
exercise that offer muscle toning and balance improve-
ment; 
Whereas snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are two of the 
best aerobic activities and can burn up to 1,000 calories 
per hour depending on the intensity of exercise; 
Whereas SnowSports Industries America is coordinating a 
program with the President’s Council on Physical Fitness 
and Sports, the United States Ski and Snowboard Asso-
ciation, the Cross Country Ski Areas Association, and the 
National Ski Areas Association that encourages children 
and adults to earn a President’s Challenge Lifetime 
Achievement Award through participation in snow sports; 
and 
Whereas, with the 2006 Winter Olympics being held in Feb-
ruary in Torino, Italy, January is an excellent time to en-
courage Americans to start and maintain a regular activ-
ity program outdoors in winter: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges 
the president to issue a proclamation declaring a Winter
