September 29: Family Health & Fitness Day
Get the entire family involved on the last Saturday this September for National Family Health & Fitness Day!
This day promotes family involvement in physical activity supporting one of the goals of the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health. Families who strive to be healthy together increase the rate of success. A healthy diet and exercise routine takes a team effort. It’s also more fun when the whole family is involved!
Learning new exercise routines or trying new recipes as a family becomes a fun activity! Get out and play with your family this day and the ones to follow.
