Getting Kids Active Starts Online
Select Health has a new school-based physical activity initiative that equips teachers with turnkey lesson plans for PE and provides students with a motivational online experience.
Physical activity is a main component of your child’s education and promotes a healthy, active lifestyle from an early age. The CDC recommends children between the ages of six and 17 get an hour’s worth of exercise each day.
The average child spends over seven hours in front of a screen every day. It is easy to notice that physical activity has been placed on the backburner and not given the time it deserves.
There are many benefits of physical activity from maintaining a healthy weight to improving your mood. Physical activity should be a critical part of your child’s day, even while they are at school or learning from home.
