So, what kind of activity do I need?
Get a mix of activity. Do things that:
Strengthen
your bones
Build your
muscles
Make your heart
beat faster
Um, strengthen
my bones?
Sounds weird, right? But bones need pressure
to get stronger. So hit the ground running!
Jump, sprint, or do a cartwheel.
60 minutes all at once? I'm pretty busy.
Not a problem! Split up your 60 minutes over the day however
you want — it all adds up!
Before school
Walk to school or the bus stop!
Dance around the living room!
At recess
Play with your friends!
Swing on the monkey bars!
After school
Walk your dog!
Go to basketball practice!
So get moving! Do activities you enjoy!
Be a good role model for your parents. Even better, go home and get them moving, too.
Walk. Run. Dance. Play. What's your move?
