"Get Your Plate in Shape" Part V: Physical Activity

Nutrition is just one part of the healthy living equation. The "Get in Shape" part of this year's theme reminds us to be physically active. Pick your favorite activities and get moving!

Be physically active your way
Pick activities that you like and start by doing what you can, at least 10 minutes at a time.

Every bit adds up and health benefits increase as you spend more time being active.

Children and teens: Get 60 minutes or more a day.

Adults: Get 2 hours and 30 minutes or more a week of activity that requires moderate effort such as brisk walking.

Want to get moving with a group of people?

Join us Saturday, March 24th for our first annual boot camp!
