Get Out and Play!

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, it’s Salley Cat. I just heard about this really cool new challenge. It’s called the ‘Presidential Active Lifestyle Award’ or PALA. The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition wants to promote a healthy lifestyle by encouraging us all to get more active. To earn PALA kids have to engage in 60 minutes five to six days a week for six weeks. At first I thought that sounded like a lot, but when I thought about it, I play soccer a couple of times a week and go swimming with Stoogles once a week, not to mention running all over Kinzville with the ‘Kinz Crew all the time. I’ll bet you with a few small changes I could make it to 60 minutes easy. I’m gonna try!

I’m going to head over to the The President’s Challenge website at www.presidentschallenge.org and sign up right now.  They’ve even got downloadable PDFs to help me track my progress.

So whaddaya think? Wanna take the PALA Challenge with me?

    Well… I’m biking later with my dad, and then tomorrow we’ll go to the park and walk for a while and maybe bike. Then someday later we’ll drive around and look for a huge park to walk in. So i have busy things going on this week. I’m playing soccer too. So i’m busy! ~Maplewind~ ;) ;D

    Hmm.. 60 minutes 5 or 6 times a week. Lets count this up-

    PE (2 or 3 times a week) 2 hours- 3 1/2 hours
    Ballet (1 a week) 1 hour
    Jazz (1 a week) 1 hour
    Total- 4-5 1/2 hours.
    Add that to running up and down stairs all day and walking the dog and I should be good.

    I already have to do P.E. for school, so, it’s pretty much the same thing, only I’m not sure if I have to do it for as long as an hour.
