Physical activity positively impacts the bodies, minds, and emotions of children, but unfortunately, most children are physically active only 15 minutes a day! Through fun, easy-to-follow activities, enhanced by photographs and illustrations, Active Kids will motivate children to get moving.

Kids will learn about
• how the cardiovascular system works
• the building blocks - cardio, flexibility, strong muscles
• warming up and cooling down
• safety guidelines
• how much is enough?

How kids can get started
• making a list of activities they like to do
• activities specifically for the heart, improving range of motion, and
endurance
• keeping track of your progress
• are you fit?
• how to be active individually or with friends and family
