Illinois law aims to improve physical education

Gov. Pat Quinn signed the legislation Saturday and called on Illinois residents to get healthy and take his "Walk Across Illinois Challenge."

The governor hit the ground himself, leading a group of walkers on a half-mile trek through the Chicago suburb of Oak Park.
