ENERGY ZONE KIDS FITNESS CHALLENGE  

Research shows children copy the behavior of adults in their life.  If parents are physically active, the children will be active too.  Exercise burns calories, which assist in maintaining ideal weight.  Fit adults and children exercise 60 minutes per day. 

KEEP MOVING TO STAY IN SHAPE TIPS  

  • Plan daily family walks.
  • Limit television or computer time to 1 to 2 hours per day.
  • Make exercise fun.
  • Encourage play outside with other children.
  • Assign chores that involve activity such as cleaning or walking the dog.
  • Help your children find physical activities they enjoy.

Remember, making a healthy change takes time and don’t expect perfection.

Fairfax County School April Health Promotion:

Smart Snack Choices = A Healthier You!

Did you know one in five school-age children eat up to six snacks a day? Easy access to sugary snacks can lead to weight gain. Many common snacks are often high in calories and low in nutritional value, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Providing the right types of snacks at the right time will help manage hunger and boost energy. Controlling portion sizes and limiting snacking is also key to maintaining a healthy weight.
