Food and Nutrition Services has developed monthly Energy Zone articles that schools are<br />
welcome to use in your monthly parent newsletters. Below, you will find an article for your April<br />
newsletter.<br />
ENERGY ZONE KIDS FITNESS CHALLENGE<br />
Research shows children copy the behavior of adults in their life. If parents are<br />
physically active, the children will be active too. Exercise burns calories, which assist in<br />
maintaining ideal weight. Fit adults and children exercise 60 minutes per day.<br />
KEEP MOVING TO STAY IN SHAPE TIPS<br />
Plan daily family walks.<br />
Limit television or computer time to 1 to 2 hours per day.<br />
Make exercise fun.<br />
Encourage play outside with other children.<br />
Assign chores that involve activity such as cleaning or walking the dog.<br />
Help your children find physical activities they enjoy.<br />
Remember, making a healthy change takes time and don’t expect perfection.
