A BRIGHT IDEA!

 

Shirlet Fowler is a Registered Nurse:

 How can I tell patients to get more exercise if I  

 don’t do it myself? So I started a walking group.

 

 

 

 

We are now going 3 or more miles once or twice every day. My Aunt

has lost 10 pounds. Another’s cholesterol is under 200 now. We

all FEEL better! But we get more than that out of our workouts:

            

We talk about what’s going on…

Our walks are like group therapy!

 

 

Thanks to great walkability around my friend’s house we can

meet and go from there. Nobody wants to miss it or be late.

They’re getting real health benefits and having fun!

 

 

WE GET IN 10 OR MORE HOURS PER WEEK!

  THIS IS “MODERATE TO VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY”

Being active is fun. It burns fat and stress, and it helps prevent
diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and cancer. I try now to get at
least 2-3 hours of activity every week, more when we can as a
family. Can you be active too? Try setting a weekly medal goal:

"LITTLE DUDES"
ARE ACTIVE

 

 

"We want to give kids a healthy start in life!" Pat Smith runs her

preschool like a fitness camp: Children get led in 1 to 2 hours of real

active play every day, with plenty of time for free play too.

The playground has shaded areas and lots of fun things to play with and on.

The staff works hard to keep the children moving, outside and in.

How many preschools have yoga classes?

Little Dudes does all it can to build healthy lifestyles!
