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?

    We do PE at school (gym class). And we have recess. And my parents like us to have free time just after classes end, so I could use that to do something active with my friends. Plus I could go out for a team … Yes! I think this would work!! And there is Saturday and Sunday, too!!

    I admire you telling kids about this but find it funny that Ganz then has activities that make people sit in front of a comp waiting for floaties to pass so they can get some super-duper prize
