Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

This week’s topic is in honor of May’s designation as National Fitness Month. Of course, it’s not just kids that need regular exercise. Us grownups do too! I’ve recently added a Yin Yoga class (also known as Restorative Yoga) to my regular fitness schedule which includes tennis (2 to 3 times a week), and working out in a gym (once a week). I’ve been wanting to do yoga for a long time, so I’m really excited about this class.<\/p>\n

Attention! Because most kids aren\u2019t getting the recommended daily amount of exercise, I\u2019ve arranged to shut down the Internet in twenty minutes. Now you\u2019ll have no more excuses. Just push yourself away from the computer, and go outside to play. If you run out of ideas or motivation, the following physical fitness sites will help. But remember, you only have twenty minutes to browse them. And then, you simply must get up from your seat and move!<\/p>\n

CDC: BAM! Physical Activity

Boldly-colored BAM! Body and Mind is designed for kids nine to thirteen by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). With quizzes and games, BAM! encourages pre-teens to make healthy lifestyle choices, and also serves teachers with classroom activities linked to national science education standards. Highlights of the Physical Activity section are a quiz to determine which fitness activities best suit your style, and an interactive activity calendar to help plan your fitness week.<\/p>\n

Let's Move: Get Active

“Children need 60 minutes of play with moderate to vigorous activity every day to grow up to a healthy weight. If this sounds like a lot, consider that eight to 18 year old adolescents spend an average of 7.5 hours a day using entertainment media including TV, computers, video games, cell phones and movies in a typical day, and only one-third of high school students get the recommended levels of physical activity.” Let’s Move is an initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n

Kidnetic

An educational program of the International Food Information Council (IFIC), Kidnetic.com is built for kids nine to twelve and their parents. The site is divided into four sections. Move is the one that focuses on physical activity or what they call “wet head games,” the kind that require you to leave your computer chair and actually run around and sweat. Kore is a game center (games such as timed jumping jacks and Chinese jump rope) and Betchacant is an email challenge to dare friends to beat you at an activity such as hopping on one foot.<\/p>\n
