Make Healthy Changes
Make it a choice Now
Always make physical activity fun.
If we all did the things we are capable of, we would
astound ourselves.
Moving to your favorite music helps your heart and your mood.Exercise induces release of hormones such as dopamine and serotonin which help to keep our mood elevated and give us a sense of wellbeing.
It just takes 10 minutes of active movement several times during the day to keep you healthy and happy.
Movement and active play helps your child’s brain grow while the body is learning new skills.
Children need active
play that adds up to
at least an hour a day.
