The government has launched a fresh attempt to tackle obesity in England by appointing a "minister for fitness".
Public Health minister Caroline Flint from Sheffield has been given the task of getting people to boost their activity levels.
She wants people to build physical activity into their daily routines to create a healthier nation in the run-up to the 2012 Olympics.
Figures due out this week are set to show that, if nothing changes, a third of men will be obese by 2010.
