Let's Move Campaign

Since 1983, May has been observed as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. Individuals and organizations everywhere have joined in the fun to promote awareness of the value of physical activity in the pursuit of happier, healthier, more productive lives. To further this vital mission, the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports reached out in 1994 to both public and private organizations to form the Presidential Fitness Partners in May. By working together in this partnership, our individual health and fitness messages will achieve increased public resonance.

Let's move America's kids and ourselves into a healthier lifestyle this month (and throughout the year). Since 1983, May has been observed as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. As we focus on inspiring our nation's youth to develop healthier habits, we should also remember to incorporate healthy activity into our own routines. Some interesting statistics on the benefits of exercise include:

• Burning 1,000 calories a week can lower your stroke risk by 24%
• Exercising for 14 minutes, 5 days per week can decrease your death risk from CHD by 46 percent.
• Regular exercise decreases breast cancer risk by 20 percent.

By exercising regularly we're apt to work better, sleep better, be more alert and energetic which helps us be more available for our children.
