Get Moving!
Exercise doesn't have to feel like work — make it fun!
Move for 60 Minutes a Day
Kids need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. It doesn't have to be all at once — dance, run, jump, or hoop your way through the day!
Play Outside Every Day
Fresh air and sunshine are great for your body and mind. Ride your bike, play tag, or explore your neighborhood — the outdoors is your playground!
Try a New Sport or Activity
Have you tried hula hooping, swimming, gymnastics, or martial arts? Trying new activities keeps exercise exciting and helps you discover what you love!
Dance It Out!
Put on your favorite song and dance like nobody's watching! Dancing is a fantastic workout that doesn't feel like exercise at all.
Walk Instead of Ride
When you can, walk or bike instead of getting a ride. Every step counts toward a healthier, stronger you!
Stretch Every Morning
Start your day with a few simple stretches. It wakes up your muscles, improves flexibility, and gets you ready to tackle the day!
Eat Smart!
Food is fuel — choose foods that give you energy and make you feel great!
Eat a Rainbow of Fruits & Veggies
Different colors mean different vitamins! Try to eat fruits and vegetables of many colors every day — red apples, orange carrots, green broccoli, purple grapes!
Drink More Water
Your body is about 60% water! Drink water throughout the day instead of sugary drinks. Add a slice of lemon or cucumber to make it extra refreshing.
Cut Back on Sugar
Too much sugar can make you feel tired and sluggish. Swap sugary snacks for fruit, nuts, or yogurt. Save sweets for special treats — not every day!
Never Skip Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! It gives your brain and body the energy to learn and play. Try oatmeal, eggs, or whole-grain toast with fruit.
Choose Healthy Snacks
When hunger strikes between meals, reach for healthy options like apple slices with peanut butter, cheese and crackers, or a handful of trail mix.
Eat Slowly & Enjoy Your Food
Take your time eating and chew your food well. Eating slowly helps your body know when it's full and lets you really enjoy the flavors of your meal!
