2 Easy Steps to Get started

 
1. GET MOVING!

The easiest way to earn a mile is to run or walk, but you can do any type of exercise to earn miles. Every 15-20 minutes of continual exercise counts as a mile. Mix up the type of exercise you do to make each part of your body strong and to make exercising more fun.

Summer Activity Ideas: running, trampoline, swim, bike, skate, basketball, soccer, tag, games etc. Remember: Always run or walk in a safe area where adults can see you.

PLUS! Watch a video of super fun exercises led by kids just like you!

 

2. Make Healthy CHOICES!

HYDRATE: Drink plenty of water each day to keep your body hydrated.

Tip: Drink half of your body weight in ounces of water a day. Example: An 80 lb. child = 40 oz. of water.

HEALTHY SNACK: To keep energy levels going, steer clear of foods with lots sugars like candy bars, soda and cookies. Look for foods that contain fiber like whole-grain breads, cereals, fruit, and vegetables and combine them with protein-rich snacks. Healthy snacking doesn’t have to be boring as long as you give yourself a variety of choices.

HANDS: When you wash your hands, you protect yourself from germs and stay healthy. Always wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds or try washing to the tune of a favorite song or the ABCs .
