Kidz Get Physical

School PE, after years of relative neglect in favor of other subjects, is gainng new attention in the face of increasing obestiy and inactivity among youth. educators and healthcare leaders are working to make PE more engaging, inclusive, and veered towards a helathy lifestyle. At the same time, they are stepping-up efforts to ensure that all students have adequate instructional time in PE classes each week. Youth movement - focusing on fit!

Hints to Keepin' Active

Finding ways to keep active throughout the work day is always a challenge. Actually getting the heart pounding because of activity is another. Here are some ways of doing just that so that those moments of not feeling "all that" begins to be all that!

1. keep a pair of running or walking shoes nearby for those quick escapes.
2. don't listen to co-workers that ridicule you for doing activity breaks... remember you're the only one who has to fit into your "skinny" jeans.
3. Try something new for a change of pace - turn the music on and dance.
4. Doing activity for 10, 15, or even 20 minutes is better that no minutes.
5. Entice others to follow your lead or have a walking meeting - it will lead to a better worksite.
6. About those rich sinfully tantalizing treats... everything in moderation.

I challenge you to think about this as an opportunity to "manage" the food and craziness. Be good to yourself and begin this moment with some movement.
